Meta Prices 100g VR Glasses at $1,300 as Privacy Flaws Cloud Micro OLED Push

Summary
$1,300 Meta VR glasses pair 100-gram frames with micro OLED displays, but privacy concerns are emerging as a central drawback alongside the hardware launch.
A 300-gram external puck carries the Snapdragon chip, battery, 12GB RAM and 128GB storage, enabling lighter wear while delivering 2412x2288-per-eye visuals, 37 pixels per degree and Dolby Vision.
A 70-degree field of view, roughly three hours of video playback and no bundled controllers make the device less compelling for immersive gaming, even though it supports hand and eye tracking and Quest software.
Productivity and media are the clearer targets: the glasses can project a virtual keyboard, simulate multi-monitor workspaces and use magnetic light blockers for a darker personal-cinema experience.
Meta says eye and hand images stay on-device and gaze data is shared only with permission, but criticism of its data practices and reports of facial-recognition plans threaten trust in the new device.
