Talking about many developments at the Facebook Connect 2021 event held today, Facebook even changed its umbrella organization name. Talking about the games that will come to Oculus Quest 2, its last virtual reality headset, the company announced that a new headset is on the way.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who made the announcement, spoke very briefly about the new VR device and left the details for later. Because this device will not be included in the Quest series and will have many new features that are not currently supported by Quest devices.
Project Cambria at its clearest we’ve seen:
However, the name of the new VR headset, where we can take a look at the schematic for a few seconds, is Project Cambria. This device, which came as a surprise while waiting for Oculus Quest 3, will be on sale next year according to current expectations. Now, Meta, which has a separate name from the Facebook platform, will spread new virtual reality products such as Metaverse with this device. Project Cambria, which has a high-resolution screen inside, will also have real-time face and eye tracking.
The new headset will detect users’ facial expressions and reflect these expressions on their characters, namely avatars, in online games and environments such as Metaverse. This device, which we do not know much about yet, may be the key to a door opening to another world together with other products introduced today. “Are we living in a simulation?” While confusing the questions, a very immersive simulation environment will be created in it. We will continue to share future details about this exciting product with you.
