Meta announces new VR glasses that weigh about 100 grams and cost $1,300

There will be new Tetris Effect, Beat Saber, and Ace Attorney games coming to the platform as well.

Meta has announced the Meta VR Glasses, a new wearable that is set to cost $1,300, weighs about 100 grams, and will feature quite a few prominent game franchises, including Capcom's Ace Attorney.

Officially introduced yesterday, the company pitches the device as a pair of glasses you can comfortably wear for hours. There isn't a strap and controllers aren't needed, using capabilities like hand tracking and passthrough to navigate it. There is, however, a puck connected by an optical tether, which handles compute, battery, and storage. Meta expects users to "conveniently" clip to their pocket or bag.

By design, the Meta VR Glasses are not intended solely for games, as most of the announcement is spent talking about how they can be used as a "multi-screen private workspace," as well as featuring an IMAX Enhanced certification and access to US sports events. Yet, there is still a focus on games, which was bolstered by a slate of new announcements.

One of the most prominent reveals is Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies VR , which adapts the fifth mainline entry in the loud lawyer series and further neglects people's desire for a seventh entry. The trailer showcases the player making use of hand-tracking gestures to present evidence and point at witnesses to raise objections, with the latter using voice-activation for you to actually shout the word.
