On September 12, 2026, detailed visual information about Meta's next-generation high-end mixed reality headset, Phoenix, was revealed. Positioned as a premium device, it features a lightweight and open design, utilizing an external computing module solution. The Phoenix offers independent adjustment of interpupillary distance, comes with a detachable nose pad, and incorporates built-in eye-tracking technology, with calibration steps similar to those of the Apple Vision Pro. From the exposed images, the Phoenix resembles glasses, lacking the traditional face-hugging mask of VR headsets and instead relying on a nose pad to secure it to the user's face. Multiple sensors are strategically placed on both sides of the device and beneath the temple arms for environmental awareness, eye tracking, and hand gesture tracking. Additionally, the images showcase a QR code scanning method for pairing prescription lenses, as well as the layout where the external computing module's connection cable extends from the end of the left temple arm. The Meta Connect 2026 conference will take place from September 23 to 24, with a dedicated session titled 'Practical Guide to Controller-Free Interaction' expected to further disclose the interactive features of the Phoenix.
