Meta’s $1,299 reimagining of its VR ecosystem coming next spring feels like one part Apple, one part Meta Quest and one part AR glasses that haven’t been built yet.
Its sleek and expensive glasses-like VR device doesn’t need controllers, plays Quest games and is aiming to be your personal cinema too. CNET Editor at Large Scott Stein is here to give you his first thoughts on the new device. #meta #metavrglasses #virtualreality #firstlook #metaconnect

Not with that FOV.

It might sound like a bad FOV compared to VR headsets like the Quest, but it’s actually going to have the best FOV of any VR glasses when they hit the market. For comparison, the best FOV currently available in VR glasses is 59º on the RayNeo GT Max, while the VITURE Beast has a 58º FOV.

URXR One glass 90°. Too bad smaller than URXR One.

But is the power pack detachable? You could switch to a second pack, charged up and ready to go. Infinite playtime loop.

that totally reasonable. You can just use a long power cable to keep it charging while you are using it

The steam frame is less than 1 hour…
@VRronnen
September 25, 2026 at 7:28 am
3 hours for a wireless device like this is good The Valve steam frame only gets one hour.

Personally, I’m really experienced with VR and I’ve done my research on this. Apparently it’s actually really good even though the FOV is small that’s gonna be really high resolution in my opinion other than the cord it’s probably gonna be better than a normal VR lighter, higher resolution, and I have a good amount of storage too

Lots of light leaking and very terrible Fov horizontal and vertical is not something that’s gonna sell me at that price point. But it’s a good start. Hopefully they’ll be able to solve that in future versions or other brands
@davidtsh

no massive light leaks from the side?
@VRronnen
September 25, 2026 at 7:27 am
Yes and no It’s open peripheral is intentional but there is also a facial interface that can be installed
@davidtsh
September 25, 2026 at 7:42 am
@VRronnen of course, always addons with meta stuff. Intentional for what?

They look beautiful and would be perfect if they run iOS

How does it affect our vision after long term use? What do doctors say?

Not gonna be interested until it’s full-dive enabled😂(nerve gear enabled) minus the getting trapped in it system

What about game streaming from a pc, how does it compare to the steam frame
