The Morning After: Meta teases high-spec VR headset prototypes

Here is a 164-word summary of the news article: Meta previewed new high-spec virtual reality (VR) headset prototypes, aiming to provide VR experiences "indistinguishable from the physical world." The company's Tiramisu project promises significant improvements over the Meta Quest 3, including three times the contrast, 14 times the maximum brightness, and 3.6 times the angular resolution. However, it has a smaller field of view (FOV) of 33 degrees by 33 degrees compared to the Quest 3's 110 degrees horizontal and 96 degrees vertical FOV. Another pair of prototypes, codenamed Boba 3, focuses on an ultrawide 180-degree FOV, closer to human vision's 200-degree range. These prototypes are roughly the same size as current VR headsets. Meta's goal is to surpass the "visual Turing test" and offer the best image quality possible in VR. While these are still works in progress, the company's efforts aim to significantly improve the visual fidelity and immersion of future VR experiences.
