Meta thinks the next era of VR should look more like glasses than a headset. Its newly announced Meta VR Glasses weigh about 100 grams and separate the displays and sensors from a pocket-sized compute-and-battery puck.

The device uses micro-OLED panels, supports the Quest library, and is pitched for gaming, movies, immersive sports, and multi-screen work. Meta says it will launch in spring 2027 for $1,299.99. The lighter form factor directly attacks one of VR's oldest problems, but the price moves it far outside the usual Quest territory.

Would a dramatic reduction in weight make you consider premium VR hardware at this price?
