However, from the official blog post, we can’t learn about many specs and details of the upcoming high-end VR headset by Meta. What the latter says is that thew ne VR headset will come with some updates to meet the requirements of the current development state of the metaverse.

It is our expectation that Meta will launch “Project Cambria.” It’s a high-end virtual reality headset that Meta has been working on for quite some time. Also, we think the company will introduce the updated version of Horizon Worlds, the main metaverse app.

Though “metaverse” sounds ambitions and promises a lot of interesting stuff in the future, the companies have to materialize the tangible profits. Otherwise, it will remain as Zuckerberg’s enthusiasm and nothing more. In this regard, we have to say that many tech companies and investors have serious doubts concerning this concept. So the upcoming Connect conference should try to assuage at least some of the financial concerns.
