Meta CTO Confirms Mixed Reality Glasses Project, AI Earbuds with Cameras & Cancellation of High-End Quest

In a recent interview with The Verge, Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth discussed the company's strategic focus on AI and wearables, revealing details about projects like the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses and a new wrist-worn controller. Meta has restructured Reality Labs to prioritize this area, and they're exploring innovative products, including earbuds with cameras and mixed reality goggles, aiming for a release as early as 2027. Bosworth also confirmed the cancellation of a high-end Quest headset due to lukewarm consumer interest. Additionally, Meta plans to deepen its partnership with EssilorLuxottica, focusing on both volume and margins. The company is pushing to lead in AI-powered devices, ensuring they're not surpassed by competitors. For more on these developments, visit the full story at Road to VR.
