Meta’s New Quest Is Actually a Pair of VR Glasses
If you had a new Quest headset on your Meta Connect bingo card, I have bad news and good news. The good news is VR hasn’t been forgotten; in fact, it’s kind of the highlight of this year’s hardware releases from the company. Meta finally unveiled its $1,299 Meta VR Glasses, a long-rumored pair of XR glasses tethered to a compute puck.
