This Is What Meta’s Project Cambria Headset Might Look Like
Meta gave the world a fleeting glimpse of its upcoming AR/VR headset at the Facebook Connect event in 2021, and a fresh leak claims to show the device’s final design in all its glory. Currently under development with the codename Project Cambria, the headset will be Meta’s most ambitious metaverse product to date, both in terms of hardware innovation and capabilities.
The headset is rumored to arrive in the second half of 2022. Said to be placed in the “high end of the price spectrum” by Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg himself, the headset has been in development for years at the company. And if reliable industry sources such as TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo are anything to go by, the headset will be a new addition to the Oculus 2 series.

Now, tech YouTuber Brad Lynch has shared some renders of the Project Cambria headset that are allegedly based on the final Production Validation Test (PVT) model. A PVT version is considered to be the last stage of hardware development that is ready for a market release, pending a final round of quality checks. The renders show a headset that looks more or less like the same device that Facebook teased in 2021. The design is a stark departure from the existing Oculus lineup of VR headsets and borrows more from the HTC Vive Flow and the PlayStation VR. Analyst Kuo claimed that the headset will hit the shelves as the Oculus Quest 2 Pro, and added that it will support facial recognition tech, too.
