The Meta Quest 3's next-gen AR upgrade has been delayed

Augments were sent back to the drawing board earlier this year.

At the center of that vision was Augments, a series of digital items that could be placed in your home — on the walls, ceiling, floor, tables, or even floating in the air — that would encourage users to keep their headsets on for longer by giving them handy utilities and artwork to admire. However, Meta CTO Andrew Bostoworth said on a June 17 Instagram AMA that the feature didn't quite turn out the way it was originally envisioned, causing it to be sent back to the drawing board. We expect the original vision of Augments to remain in its final form when the feature eventually launches—likely next year—and could even transition to Meta's upcoming AR glasses when that product launches in a few years.
