When Will Meta Glasses Be Released?

Meta could have these glasses operational as soon as 2024, but only for testing. After the internal launch for Meta employees comes the public launch of the glasses, codenamed Artemis, sometime in 2027.

In that report, the website says the glasses are designed to project high-quality holograms of avatars onto the real world. This means they’re augmented reality glasses, not virtual reality glasses. In other words, they blend real and digital items in the same space.

You’ll put them on to see virtual items in your vision as if they exist in the real world in front of you. In addition to holograms, these glasses will most likely project other information into the surrounding room, like texts, emails, calendar alerts, and other things forwarded from your phone. The glasses will likely be lightweight and easy to wear because Meta intends for them to be worn throughout the day as a replacement for your smartphone.

Meta’s VP of AR, Alex Himel, makes it clear that ads will also play a prominent role in these glasses:

I think itÔÇÖs easy to imagine how ads would show up in space when you have AR glasses on. Our ability to track conversions, which is where there has been a lot of focus as a company, should also be close to 100 percent.

The Verge reports that instead of using MicroLED displays in the AR glasses, Meta will opt to use Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) instead. Why does that matter? Well, according to The Information, this technology “isn’t known for its brightness,” which leaves some questions about how usable these glasses will be in bright settings. This tech is, however, less expensive. It’s currently used in similar products like HoloLens 1 and Magic Leap 2.

The company has also reportedly abandoned silicon carbide in the glasses, sticking to glass waveguide technology instead. The difference is that the field of view might be limited to 50 instead of 70 degrees. This matters because the field of view dictates how “big” a virtual image is when viewed through the glasses, with a smaller field of view producing narrower and potentially lower-quality images.

Meta Glasses Price Rumors

There’s no word yet on how Meta will price these glasses.

There won’t be any information about pre-ordering until Meta announces the product.

Meta Glasses Specs & Features

Most of what there is to know about these glasses is available from The Verge, which obtained a presentation covering Meta’s AR/VR roadmap through 2027.

There will be two versions of these glasses. One will be used in-house by developers only, and the other version will be what the public gets their hands on. The second version will have the limitations I just described, while the demo version will come with MicroLED displays and silicon carbide.
