Meta Plans Lightweight Mixed Reality Glasses for 2027

Codenamed 'Puffin,' the new device aims to replace bulky VR headsets with a more user-friendly alternative.

The Puffin glasses will weigh around 110 grams, significantly lighter than current VR headsets.
Key components like the battery and processor will be housed in a separate, tethered puck.
The device will rely on hand gestures and eye-tracking for control, eliminating the need for handheld controllers.
Meta's Reality Labs division has faced financial losses but remains committed to advancing AR and VR technologies.
The Puffin project follows the cancellation of the Quest Pro 2, shifting focus to more practical mixed reality solutions.
