Meta’s next VR device isn’t a headset — it’s glasses - The Verge

Meta has unveiled the Meta VR Glasses, a new VR device that rests on the ears like ordinary glasses rather than being strapped over the head, while still delivering immersive displays for movies, gaming, and multi-screen work.
The design distributes components between the head-worn glasses and a computing puck kept in the user's pocket, aiming for a lighter, more approachable form factor than the Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest headsets.
The glasses weigh just 100g, dramatically less than the Quest 3's 515g, and reporter Jay Peters found they felt easier to jump in and out of rather than being a cumbersome commitment.
The wired puck houses the device's core hardware, including a Snapdragon Reality Elite processor, 128GB of storage, and 12GB of RAM, with a battery Meta says supports up to three hours of media playback.
Peters described the experience as feeling like a lightweight Vision Pro, suggesting it may be a better execution of what Apple aimed for with its own device.
The announcement was made as part of Meta Connect 2026, with the hands-on impressions gathered during a visit to Meta's campus, where the company demonstrated familiar VR uses such as watching content and working across multiple screens.
