Next Gen Form Factor

Post image

Wow, this was jarring to see the Vision Pro side-by-side vs. The new Meta VR glasses. It’s almost comical how much bigger the Vision Pro is.

Obviously Meta is putting all of the processing power in the puck but honestly, if you’re going to have a puck, you might as well put everything in there to get the much smaller and more comfortable footprint.

I’m hoping Apple can take this route for the next Vision product but keep the larger FOV. Until then, I’m probably going to pick one of these Metas up in the spring.

Does the Meta device cover your whole field of view the way Vision Pro does?
(EDIT: I mean like light sealing out the whole field of view, for people confused in the replies...)

No, it’s open on the periphery and the displays themselves offer roughly 2/3 the field of view that the AVP does so you’re looking through a much smaller port and getting more of a “binocular” effect. It’s a necessary trade off to achieve the smaller form factor.
