Meta closely saw some of its most ambitious VR headset projects to the world. But Siggraph 2025 ConferenceMeta pulled the curtain back on many experimental devices, each claimed and designed to push the virtual reality closer to the point where it seems unlikely from real life. The highlight was Tiramisu, a prototype with an ultra-shape display with 90 pixels per degree and the glow level was more than 14 times more than 14 times more than 3.

As MetaThe views are so convinced that the headset comes close to passing the so -called “visual turing test”, where the human brain struggles to tell VR different from reality. Along with Tiramisu, Meta also showed a light, glasses-style headset coden puffin and two wide field-off-view prototype surname Boba, which offer very different views of the VR’s future.

The puffin headset takes a very different approach to design. Less than 110 grams, it is much lighter than specific VR headsets and swaps traditional controllers for gaze and pinch controls similar to Apple Vision Pro. Instead of packing all the processing power in the headset itself, the puffin uses a separate battery and calculates the pak that can be glued to the belt or slipped into a pocket. This helps the user’s head weigh and heat, making it more comfortable for extended sessions. Inside, it contains eye tracking technology, high-resolution passithrous cameras and micro-oles displays. Meta is creating a position of puffin as a headset for non-gaming uses, with focus on productivity, communication and enhanced reality experiences. This will run on the company’s new navigator-style horizon OS.

Meanwhile, Boba 3 and Boba 3 VR prototypes are all about immersion through an extended area. Both provide 4K-BY-4K resolution per eye and stretch the visuals with a shocking 180 degree horizontally and 120 degrees vertically. This makes them ideal for experiences where peripheral vision is important, such as simulation training or cinematic VR. While these devices are still the initial stage prototypes, Meta has created them using the current-generation lens technology, suggests that they can only be greater than future concepts.

Right now, the main VR headset of meta on the market is Quest 3, which is well received for the balance of performance, mixed reality features and value. The company is also experimenting beyond VR, getting new AI-managed abilities such as real-time translation, object recognition and hand-free video capture with its ray-ban met smart glasses.
