Meta said to be shifting from AR to VR, doubles down on Ray-Ban partnership


With AR glasses still years out, Meta focuses on what's profitable.

One report states that Meta is pulling back on AR glasses development, citing high R&D costs and no commercially viable product results. Augments for a potential pair of AR glasses could have included floating timers for cooking in your kitchen or special digital menus that appear when you enter a Starbucks, for example. Further focus on VR development, including more affordable headsets and smoother software experiences, could be Meta's best bet in getting its Reality Labs division back to profitability.
