Meta Unveils IMAX-Certified VR Glasses at Meta Connect
At Meta Connect, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Meta VR Glasses, claiming they are "the first IMAX-enhanced certified VR device ever." These glasses weigh 300 grams, making them lighter than the Meta Quest 3 headset. They come with a compact battery puck that lasts up to three hours. The display offers a 5K micro-OLED "Infinite Display," with a resolution of 2412 x 2288 pixels per eye and a 120Hz refresh rate, designed to support IMAX's unique aspect ratio and 3D content. Priced at $1,299, they'll hit the market next spring, costing more than the Meta Ray-Ban Display but less than the Apple Vision Pro. Meta also revealed the Ray-Ban Meta Audio smart glasses and teased a new smart amulet called Muse Charm.
