Alongside the announcement on Thursday that Facebook would be renaming its parent company Meta, we were also offered a sneak peek at some new hardware. What do we know about 'Project Cambria' - the headset for Facebook's metaverse? 👇
Passthrough is a technology, however. It's the ability for someone wearing a headset to see the world around them as if they weren't - only they are, so the headset has to generate the image of the world.
Pancake optics describe a kind of compact flat lens which will be critical if virtual reality headsets aren't going to weigh too much, as the size is generally driven by the display. "It's going to bring us a step closer to the metaverse and we're excited to share more in the future, so stay tuned," the company added.A few other details have come out about the headset, including new sensors in the device which will allow people's virtual avatars to maintain eye contact with each other and detect and reflect their real-life facial expressions - part of the social presence aspects of the system.
