The Meta VR Glasses were announced in September 2026 and are expected to launch sometime in the spring of next year (2027). Costing around $1,300, they will be almost 1/3 as cheap as the Apple Vision Pro, but over twice as expensive as the Meta Quest 3. Although boasting specs close to the Apple Vision Pro, they will not only be far cheaper, but massively lighter too. The lightweight glasses form factor combined with high-resolution color passthrough is likely to revolutionize both VR porn and AR porn. Here is a useful rundown of the specs of not only the Meta VR Glasses and the Apple Vision Pro, but also their main competitors in the cheaper category of traditional VR headsets – the Meta Quest 3 and the Pico 4 Ultra.
