Meet Meta VR Glasses: our most advanced device yet, delivering a personal cinema, courtside seat, workspace, and gaming console, all in a pair of glasses that weighs about 100 grams — roughly the same as a deck of cards.

The proposed class period opens on September 4, 2021.

Threads arrived on Quest headsets and Meta Ray-Ban Display, alongside a swathe of other updates for Meta’s smart glasses.

The Meta Quest Pro launched as Meta’s vision of what high-end virtual and mixed reality could look like without dragging a gaming PC into the equation—and Woot currently has an open-box unit for $626.61, which is a little over $370 below its original $999 price and more than $140 cheaper than Amazon’s listed like-new option…
