Meta is working on mixed-reality glasses, but they’re probably years away

Meta is working on a smaller mixed-reality device that looks like a large pair of glasses, according to a report from The Information. The glasses, reportedly codenamed Puffin, may not arrive until 2027 — if the project comes to fruition at all.

The mixed reality glasses are rumored to feature pancake lenses, which could allow the device to have a slimmer profile. It will also reportedly offer video passthrough so wearers can see their surroundings beyond the displays, as well as use hand- and eye-tracking for controls.
