Meta is not experiencing one of its best moments but it has hope for the end of the year. Facebook started 2022 by reducing its number of users for the first time in its history -while its competition continues to grow unchecked-; its shares on the stock market also fell and the drums of economic recession are at the gates of all international markets. Thus, it is not surprising that he has decided to focus on his most ambitious projects and in which they can report more profits in the coming years, one of them is Project Cambria.
It is a high-end helmet that Meta is currently finishing outline to launch it in the last bars of the year. If this date is met, Project Cambria would be launched a year after its unofficial presentation, which took place in October 2021 at the Meta Connect conference. However, it is difficult to say when the launch will take place.
The Oculus Quest launched in 2019, and the Oculus Quest 2 launched in October 2020, which is 18 months apart. Therefore, Project Combria could increase this launch difference to 24 months, marked by the pandemic and the still existing problems in the supply chain that are so affecting the production and distribution of technological products.

Plus, it will be as powerful as a Chromebook, running on Meta’s Android-based operating system.
An advanced high-end mixed reality project that is expected to command a premium price over other augmented reality products on the market –experts estimate that its price will be around 800 dollars, and 1,000 euros in Spain-. Project Cambria will also have new options in augmented reality and facial tracking and although it is not ruled out that it be used for video games, Meta wants to focus it more on its use in the world of industry and business. other of Meta’s intentions are to improve Reels, its short video format similar to the one used on TikTok and where companies can publish ads and thereby improve their income.
But beware, the Meta releases do not end here. It is expected that for the next few years, there will be new products with which to surprise both individuals and professionals, in fact, he hopes that in 2023 and 2024, he will put on sale another 3 VR viewersand in 2024 a new, even more improved version of Project Cambria, with which they would currently be working under the code name of Funston, a leak picked up by industry communicators such as @SadlyItsBradley.
