Meta has announced new VR glasses designed, among other things, for watching movies. The Meta VR Glasses use micro-OLED displays, support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and are IMAX Enhanced certified. The hardware is expected to go on sale in spring 2027.
Micro-OLED and Dolby Vision
The glasses employ micro-OLED panels and an optical system using pancake lenses. Meta quotes an image density of 37 PPD. The manufacturer even describes the display system as a "5K Infinite Display." Details about the panel remain unknown. Meta VR Glasses support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and have also received IMAX Enhanced certification. One intended use is watching movies, including 3D content, on a large virtual screen. Meta promises access to content from selected streaming services. In addition, we will have access to over 75 VR games at launch. The manufacturer says we won't need controllers for that; just our hands.
Only 100 grams on your head
The glasses themselves weigh about 100 grams. However, that doesn't mean the whole set weighs that much. Meta moved the processor, battery and memory into an external module connected to the glasses by a cable. You can clip it to your clothing or tuck it into a pocket. According to the manufacturer, the battery should last up to 3 hours of high-resolution playback.
3D Movies and Price
Meta announces support for 3D movies and access to content from platforms such as Disney+, HBO, and Paramount+. Their availability depends on the market. However, we did not receive confirmation that the 3D technology will be paired with 4K. The company has not yet provided a detailed catalog for Poland. Meta VR Glasses are set to go on sale in spring 2027. The price in the United States has been set at $1,299.99.
