Zuckerberg Takes a Swing at Vision Pro with $1,299 Glasses
- Meta unveiled new VR glasses featuring a magnesium alloy frame and pocket-bound compute puck at its Connect event on September 23, priced at $1,299 for a "Spring 2027" launch.
- Separating compute components into a pocket-worn puck allows the glasses to weigh 3.5 ounces, making them five times lighter than the Meta Quest 3 and addressing bulk complaints.
- Users interact with on-screen content through hand gestures and eye tracking on 5K micro-OLED displays, with the system supporting more than 75 games playable through gestures alone at launch.
- Priced at $1,299, the device positions Meta between high-end rivals like the Apple Vision Pro and affordable alternatives, targeting market share where competitors struggled with premium pricing.
- Expanding its wearable ecosystem, Meta also announced the third-generation Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 and the Muse Charm keychain, enabling AI interaction without requiring a phone.
