According to an internal roadmap reviewed by The Information, Meta Platforms plans to release four virtual reality headsets between now and 2024. The aggressive timeline reflects Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s desire to advance his vision for virtual worlds by making VR devices more accessible to more people. However, his ability to meet the schedule is far from certain.
Around September, Meta plans to release Project Cambria, a high-end VR and mixed-reality headset that’s being billed as the future of work, according to a person familiar with the matter. Cambria was originally scheduled to launch last year but was delayed due to supply chain and other pandemic-related issues, which could push the launch date back again, the person said. A second version of the Cambria, code-named Funston, is scheduled for 2024.
