Meta’s consumer VR headsets are already among the best you can get for their price points, but at a conference next week, the company is showing off some impressive-sounding research prototypes that could be a peek at what its headsets might be capable of in the future. One headset, called “Tiramisu,” brings a “new milestone for realism in VR,” Meta says in a blog post. Image: MetaTwo other headsets, the “Boba 3” and the “Boba 3 VR,” instead have a very wide FOV. That horizontal FOV brings the headsets much closer to the FOV of the human visual system, which Meta says is “roughly” 200 degrees. The prototype headsets will be shown at next week’s SIGGRAPH 2025 conference, and I recommend checking out Meta’s blog post to see videos of them in action.
