Meta reconfirms its commitment to the metaverse
While Reality Labs is losing money, the spending enabled Meta to develop"foundational pieces of technology" for the future, Bosworth said. Specifically, Meta shipped the Quest Pro headset with mixed reality and eye and face tracking that have been adopted by developers, creators and builders."We’ll be living with the benefits of this work for decades to come."
It looks like Meta and its investors will need to stay patient, though, as the company's vision for immersive AR glasses is years off."Our vision for true AR glasses will require years of progress making our devices slimmer, lighter, faster, and more powerful, all while consuming way less battery power and generating much less heat," according to Bosworth.
In the shorter term, Reality Labs is working to improve its incredibly basic avatar system, with more news coming in 2023. It's also planning to help Horizon Worlds"flourish," will introduce a Meta Question Gaming Showcase in the spring and reveal the"successor to the Meta Quest 2" sometime next year. , while criticizing the company's lack of efficiency.
