The device is being developed under the name “Project Cambria” and may be unveiled at Connect, Meta’s annual event.
The release date of the next Meta virtual reality headset was announced by Zuckerberg on the Joe Rogan podcast. In addition, he explained some features such as the ability to deal with the possibilities of social networks through the tracking of eye movements and facial gestures, which would add intending the avatar to reflect the user’s gesture. For example, if the user frowns or smiles, it translates to the avatar in real time.
Project Cambria will include, or at least is expected to include, high-resolution color displays, internal eye-tracking sensors, and sophisticated virtual reality capabilities. As for the name it will have at launch, it is speculated that it could be Meta Quest Pro. It has no apparent relation to the upcoming line of augmented reality glasses, and the company is already preparing the next generation of virtual reality headsets.

The Mark Zuckerberg-led company has ambitious plans, but it could take several years to deploy the full potential of Metaverse, given Intel’s statements about a year ago. On the other hand, virtual reality has been trying to be the new mainstream wave of consumer technology for years, but today it remains only a fringe sector. Will the Metaverse be the abomination that virtual reality needs to establish itself in the mass market?
