Meta VR glasses at Connect 2026

So the new Meta glasses showed up at Meta Connect 2026 and the whole thing hinges on a separate wired computing puck doing the heavy lifting for processing, storage and battery. That's the tradeoff that keeps the frames around 100 grams, five times lighter than a Meta Quest 3. Price sits at $1,300 with a spring 2027 launch window. Display is 5K with Dolby Vision support, audio runs Dolby Atmos spatial audio, and there's full-color passthrough in the hardware. Battery life tops out around three hours of continuous high-res media playback. Launch games play with hand gestures, existing Quest titles still work through Touch Plus controllers. Holographic video calls land on WhatsApp and Zoom, letting people show up as lifelike holograms mid-conversation. Windows PCs and Macs connect for work and productivity, and you steer the whole thing with voice, eye and hand gestures powered by Meta AI.
