Mark Zuckerberg is making sure the public is well aware of Meta’s latest Project Cambria and that’s why he’s giving them an up-close and personal look at the VR headset.
The CEO released a demo with a personalized touch as it featured Zuckerberg trying out an innovative headset that could soon be used in place of a normal laptop.
The demo was publicly released on Thursday and featured the CEO putting it on for the first time and explaining to viewers an in-depth approach regarding how it is used.
As far as the product is concerned, one major takeaway is how similar it was in functioning to HoloLens that was put out by Microsoft. It is a mixed reality venture that puts forth 3D pictures across everything else that can be viewed in today’s world.
In case you’re wondering how any of this is possible, well, Project Cambria comes with a ‘passthrough’ feature. Therefore, once the wearer puts on the headgear, they can still see what is happening around them, thanks to the in-built exterior camera.
These are designed to record video of the wearer’s immediate surroundings and then focus it in a particular direction through displays.
If you’re wondering how this differs from the functionality seen in the company’s Oculus Quest headset, well, that was a black and white display. This, on the other hand, is going to be just like your normal everyday vision.
And that’s why it’s being looked upon as revolutionary in terms of great image quality.
Through the Meta CEO’s preview or demo, one can get a clear idea of what to expect in terms of imagery. Additionally, Zuckerberg proved how AR apps can now be augmented with this revolutionary color passthrough mode.
Through the Meta CEO’s words, this new experience is very similar to looking at today’s world beyond the norm and that means combining both the physical as well as virtual aspects of today’s world.
The video itself shows Zuckerberg playing with an adorable little 3D bunny inside his office space. And that’s when he reveals how color passthrough is ideal for both professional as well as leisure purposes.
Imagine working by the side of a virtual exercise instructor who enters into the same room that you happen to be located in, thanks to the headset. Clearly, this is a convenience of a whole new kind.
It’s quite clear that the goal of Meta is to draw the attention of third parties to the wonderfully innovative gadget. Once they understand through demos that mixed reality is actually possible, only then will they be keener on making purchases.
But that was about it in terms of Project Cambria as the Meta CEO failed to disclose other major details such as its final look, which was blurred out in the video.
As far as the product’s launch is concerned, it could occur anytime towards the end of this year. The only difference now is that Meta is not solely targeting the gaming community as the product seems to be great for those stationed in offices.
