Meta Reportedly Considering Smaller Mixed Reality “Glasses” for Release in 2027
Apple's Vision Pro has reshaped the competitive landscape, prompting questions about Meta's next steps in XR development. According to The Information, Meta is exploring a mixed reality device codenamed 'Puffin,' described as a sleek and light alternative to bulkier headsets like the Quest line. Slated for a potential 2027 release, Puffin will feature pancake lenses and will rely on hand and eye-tracking instead of traditional Touch controllers. It will also use an external processing unit to reduce weight on the user's head. This new direction comes amid reports that Meta has canceled its supposed Quest Pro 2 project, codenamed 'La Jolla.'
