There\u2019s nothing wrong with gaming, but the metaverse ain\u2019t gonna happen if the only people in it are gamers. Meta needs to prove there\u2019s value in owning a VR headset to a much larger portion of its potential customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_will_it_look_like\"><\/span>What will it look like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Meta once <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yzV7JgLAH1Y&amp;\">uploaded<\/a> this blurry render of Project Cambria. It\u2019s the only official look at the headset we have.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Project Cambria\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{background:#000;height:100%}img{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;transition:opacity .1s cubic-bezier(0.4,0,1,1)}a:hover img+img{opacity:1!important}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=\" https:=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/yzV7JgLAH1Y\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"top: 50%;left:50%;width:68px;height:48px;transform:translate3d(-50%,-50%,0)\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_could_Project_Cambria_be_useful_for_work\"><\/span><b>How could Project Cambria be useful for work?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reference to Chromebooks is particularly important, as it seems Project Cambria will heavily rely on web-based experiences rather than native applications for its productivity. That would make some sense, as it\u2019s an equalizer in terms of processing power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, unlike Google, Meta doesn\u2019t have an existing suite of productivity apps to leverage. And it would be an uphill battle to attempt to enter a space dominated by Google and Microsoft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Meta partnered with either company to optimize its productivity experience, but as long as the browser is functional enough, Project Cambria should work just fine with existing web-based apps. In theory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth noting that the headset <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> expected to run on Android, which means it might be possible to get some existing mobile apps on there. But given Android\u2019s lackluster support for large-screen devices, optimizing for browser apps likely makes more sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_why_not_just_use_a_laptop_or_desktop\"><\/span><b>But why not just use a laptop or desktop?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s unclear how Meta plans to market the idea of getting work done with a VR headset. But if I had to guess, the company will heavily promote the virtually infinite workspaces you can achieve in a virtual desk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a phone, laptop, or desktop, your productivity is largely limited by your screen size. You can only fit so much information on a small screen, so your workflow is often stagnated by having to switch between multiple tabs or virtual desktops. There\u2019s a reason some people have two or more monitors at their desktops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a VR headset, you have essentially unlimited space. You could resize and rearrange windows around you at will. It\u2019s not a new concept either; Lenovo already has AR glasses that can<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">project five virtual monitors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key will be making its display high enough resolution that text is clearly legible; nobody wants to be writing through a<\/span>\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/vr-screen-door-effect-explained\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">screen door<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. According to The Information, the headset will have a high enough resolution that people can use it to comfortably send emails or code. It\u2019s also expected to have a larger battery than the current Quest, in order to allow people to use the headset for longer work sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, it remains to be seen how effectively Meta can solve the problem of typing in VR.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_VR_is_so_lonely\"><\/span><b>But VR is so lonely.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like many VR headsets, Project Cambria will include external cameras that allow you to view your surroundings. Your friends and coworkers might not be able to see your face, but at least you\u2019ll be able to see them. That\u2019s something, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apparently, the quality of these external cameras is supposed to be so good that Meta is calling the tech \u201cfull-color pass-through,\u201d but the proof is in the pudding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, Meta\u2019s goal is to get everyone into the metaverse anyway. Then the people sticking to the real world only will be the weirdos.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_it_going_to_be_called\"><\/span><b>What\u2019s it going to be called?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most likely name appears to be the \u2018Quest Pro.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know, a VR headset for professionals.

It will then supposedly follow up on Cambria with Project Funston in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By then, both Google and Apple are expected to have announced headsets of their own.
