Meta Unveils Plans for Revolutionary Mixed-Reality Glasses by 2027
Meta Platforms, led by Mark Zuckerberg, is working on a new type of mixed-reality glasses, code-named "Puffin," set to debut by 2027, as reported by The Information on August 27.
These upcoming glasses aim to be more compact and user-friendly compared to Meta’s current Quest headsets, eliminating the need for handheld controllers by allowing operation through hand gestures.
The Puffin glasses are expected to be smaller and more affordable than the high-priced Apple Vision Pro, which retails at $3,500, potentially broadening their appeal. Unlike traditional bulky headsets, these glasses will integrate both virtual and real-world elements, offering a more seamless mixed-reality experience.

Zuckerberg has previously described these new glasses as a significant step toward combining the practicality of everyday eyewear with advanced mixed-reality features, including holographic displays and built-in audio and video capabilities. He emphasized that these glasses will be as lightweight as standard eyewear rather than resembling a headset.
Meta’s Reality Labs division, responsible for this development, has invested heavily in research and development, spending over $59.9 billion since 2019. Despite ongoing financial losses, Reality Labs reported $353 million in revenue for Q2 2024, with expectations for reduced operating losses in the near future due to upcoming product innovations.
