A new virtual reality headset will be released by Meta in October, according to the company's CEO.
Speaking on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, the Facebook founder said that Meta's next virtual reality headset will have new features to help users experience a feeling of "social presence."
There will be more eye- and facial- tracking features in the new virtual reality headset. He said that the features will make it possible for people to smile or frown in virtual reality.
When people are with each other, there is more visual and interactive communication, according to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
It is likely that the device he talked about was the upcoming headset from Meta. It will cost at least $800 to own that virtual reality headset, which is more than the cost of its flagship headset. The price of that device was recently raised by the company.
As it pushes the idea of the metaverse as being the next evolution of how people interact with computers, Meta has invested heavily into virtual reality and augmented reality. It will probably be years before the company ends its losses related to its metaverse investments.
