Overview

• Meta has reportedly sidelined its Quest4 prototypes, Pismo Low and Pismo High, delaying the Quest4 line until 2027.
• The new Puffin design is said to resemble bulky glasses, weighs about 110 grams, and shifts its processor and battery into a pocket-sized compute puck.
• The glasses-style headset is expected to run HorizonOS and forego physical controllers in favor of eye-tracking and gesture controls for productivity and entertainment use cases.
• Meta is still considering several display options for Puffin and has not yet committed to a specific panel technology.
• Tech partners including Asus and Lenovo are developing HorizonOS headsets such as Asus’s gaming-focused Tarius under Meta’s platform.
