　　MR is seen by Meta as a key step in building the metaverse, and the company, which accounts for 90 percent of the consumer VR headset market, is working hard to develop mixed reality (MR) hardware and software. Looking back at last year's Connect conference, the Presence platform debuted to help developers create better mixed reality experiences.

　　And Meta's first MR device is expected to be unveiled at Connect today. The headset, which could be named Project Cambria, was first mentioned at last year's Connect event, and Meta promised it would launch Project Cambria in 2022. The product is called "Laptop for the Face", and it is Meta's first headset with 6DoF positioning of the head-hand, and will also become Meta's most powerful headset.

　　Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously stated that the product is mainly used in office scenarios , where users can handle emails and conduct virtual meetings.

　　From the performance point of view, according to the news released by Meta, Project Cambria is equipped with a depth sensor and a dedicated camera for color perspective, which can display high-definition color pictures , and at the same time uses algorithms to achieve a sense of depth perspective, making the generated virtual content and the real environment " seamless fit".

　　According to self-media reports in the technology circle, Project Cambria is expected to be heavier than Quest 2 due to its larger battery, so Project Cambria will use Pancake folding optics to greatly reduce the weight of the device. The product also supports face tracking and eye tracking. , hand tracking , and support for more interactive social content.

　　Better performance and application scenarios are biased towards the B side, which means that Project Cambria is priced higher . During Tokyo Game Show 2022, Shunsuke Ueda, head of Japanese marketing at Meta Reality Labs, said, "Project Cambria is not a successor to Quest 2, but a high-end device in a higher price range. This product is more focused on commercial use. , designed to eventually replace laptops and work environments. Meta's Oculus Quest 2 will continue to be the primary device for the masses."

　　Project Cambria is widely expected to cost around $800, while the Oculus Quest 2 is $399.99 (previously $299.99) - $499.99.

　　In addition to Project Cambria, an updated version of the Oculus Quest may also appear at this Connect conference. It is reported that Meta will also launch three headsets in 2024, including Cambria's sequel Funston, the latest generation of Quest and Meta's first AR glasses.

　　Within an hour and a half of the start of Connect, Meta developers will introduce tools that help build VR/MR/AR apps, games, and will also introduce its VR ecosystem.
