The Wall Street Journal reports<\/a> Meta is in talks with Disney and A24 to try and secure exclusive streaming content for a new headset it\u2019s developing. WSJ says Meta\u2019s new device is a glasses-like headset codenamed \u201cLoma,\u201d with an external puck you slip into your pocket. Meta is reportedly seeking new and existing licensed content that would be exclusive to its platform on VR or as timed exclusives. <\/p>\n

That puck design sounds like Meta\u2019s recently rumored \u201cPuffin\u201d headset<\/a>, which is reportedly in development and could succeed the Quest 3<\/a> and Quest 3S<\/a> VR headsets. UploadVR<\/a> described Puffin as an extremely light open-periphery headset with a tethered compute puck, and Loma could very well be Puffin, or become it at some point.<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s own Andrew \u201cBoz\u201d Bosworth has said publicly<\/a> that Meta has various prototypes in development at all times, including ones that never see the light of day, and after the WSJ published its report Wednesday, he reposted his statement about prototypes from last fall that adds \u201c…stories based on chatter about one individual decision will never give the real picture.\u201d Puffin, Loma, or other similar options could be in one of the prototyping stages Bosworth discussed with The Verge\u2019s own Alex Heath<\/a> last October. <\/p>\n

Either way, WSJ mentions Meta\u2019s plan for Loma would set a price that\u2019s \u201cmore than the $300 starting price for a Quest, but less than the $3,500 base price of a Vision Pro, according to some of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wall Street Journal reports Meta is in talks with Disney and A24 to try and secure exclusive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3162],"tags":[598,12,326,53,16,15,3243,3244],"class_list":{"0":"post-160057","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-meta","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-tech","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-virtual-reality","15":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114630477948855945","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
