Meta CTO holds wide field of view prototype headset in photo


Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth shared images from a recent visit to the company’s research labs.

In one of the six images that were shared to Instagram and Threads, Bosworth is seen holding a tethered headset that appears to have canted lenses and a wide curved body extending beyond the strap arms horizontally, suggesting a wide field of view.

The attachment on top appears to be an off-the-shelf sensor bar, used to avoid having to integrate cameras into the prototype itself.

The other five images show a Ray-Ban Meta glasses prototype, Project Aria research glasses attached to a Quest 3, a silhouette appearing to be him wearing a headset, and two shots of him sitting with Meta’s Chief Scientist Michael Abrash, who leads Reality Labs Research.

Visiting our research labs is always a highlight. They’re making incredible progress on hard technological problems and I can’t wait to share more“, Bosworth wrote on Threads.
