Field of view vs human vision
This headsetHuman visionWidest in catalog
44th widest of 45 published horizontal fields.
Human vision here is the clinical normal field: 200° across and 135° tall, per Spector, Clinical Methods, ch. 116 ↗
Published as a range across configurations, so there is no single weight to place against the catalog.

2 h shortest3 h longest
3 h of a catalog that runs 2 h to 3 h.1st of 20. Every published runtime lands between 2 h and 3 h.
Meta estimates continuous media playback with the compute puck; gaming battery life is not specified.
Pancake
Folded optics. Thin, sharp to the edges, and light-hungry, so they need a brighter panel behind them.
Color
Cameras relay the room in colour. This is the feed mixed reality is built on.
Head, hand, and eye tracking
The published wording does not fit one of the usual types, so we show it as the source wrote it.

In the news
What changed since we wrote this page.
Meta's realistic avatars reach Ray-Ban Display calls this fall and VR Glasses in spring 2027, but the first VR version still faces the viewer like a video panel.
Meta's new VR glasses are due in spring 2027 with Quest game compatibility. The base package has no controllers, so existing games and new hand-tracked titles make different buying cases.
