Meta plans to release a new high-end virtual reality headset this year, which is
codenamed Project Cambria. Some more details about the product, as well as
Meta's VR headset roadmap, have emerged in a report.

Cambria has been described internally as a "laptop for the face" or "Chromebook
for the face," according to The Information. It's believed to have specs similar
to that of a Chromebook and will use Meta's own VR operating system, which is
based on Android. It's expected to be compatible with web-based tools and
services, as well as some Quest apps. However, despite Meta pitching Cambria as
a future-of-work device, it may not be able to run native desktop apps that are
commonly used by many businesses.





Cambria is said to have high-resolution image quality. This could allow wearers
to clearly read text, so they'd be able to send emails or code while wearing the
headset. In other words, it may be viable for professional purposes.

Cambria will provide wearers with a view of their surroundings using
outward-facing cameras. This feature, called full-color passthrough, will allow
for mixed-reality experiences. When it announced Cambria in October 2021, Meta
said the headset will include eye-tracking and facial expression recognition
features. Users' avatars in the likes of Horizon Worlds and Workrooms will
reportedly mirror their expressions and where they're looking.

The headset is believed to be heavier than Quest 2 due to a larger battery.
However, it appears this is positioned at the rear for better balance.

Cambria will reportedly hit shelves around September and will cost over $799. It
was originally earmarked for release last year, according to the report, but it
was delayed due to supply chain issues and other complications brought on by the
pandemic.

Looking ahead, Meta is said to have three other headsets it plans to release
within the next few years as it presses forward with its metaverse ambitions.
The Information suggests Meta will release Quest headsets in both 2023 and 2024,
as well as a successor to Cambria, currently codenamed Funston, in 2024.
Additionally, it was recently reported that Meta plans to release its first
augmented reality glasses in 2024.
