Meta announced Meta VR Glasses at Connect on September 23, 2026. The glasses weigh about 100 grams and move compute, battery, and storage into a pocket puck on an optical tether.

They use dual micro-OLED displays that Meta calls a 5K Infinite Display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon Reality Elite chip, and eye plus hand tracking, so controllers are not required in the box. The US price is $1,299.99, and Meta says they go on sale in spring 2027.

The puck holds 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, lasts up to three hours of high-resolution media playback, and can show a USB-C DisplayPort source as a big virtual screen. Quest apps and games carry over on the same OS, while specialist coverage puts the field of view at about 70 degrees horizontal, narrower than Quest 3.

This is exactly what I've been waiting for 🔥

Meta just announced its new VR Glasses. Basically an Apple Vision Pro-like experience, but MUCH smaller and lighter.
