Meta Quest 4 cannot come until 2027, but for now, we must have seen that the next VR is moving towards the headset – and it comes with a powerful area (FOV).
Researchers with Meta Reality Labs have revealed VR and MR headset prototype offer an ultra-wide horizontal FOV of 180 degrees, with a goggle-like design hanging on the user’s face. It is a major jump on Meta Quest 3, which provides FOVs of about 100 degrees.
In the report, researchers perform VR and MR prototype headset, comparing views in virtual and mixed reality for a meta quest 3.

The VR prototype uses “high-enhanced reflective polarization” in a custom optical design to achieve its ultra-wide area, while MR headsets also provide the same FOVs but uses 80 MP cameras at 60 frames per second (FPS).
A video shows the difference between virtual and mixed reality, and what is visible has a clear difference. In particular, Quest 3 is shown with a spherical view of an office, in which the FOVs of the prototype offer a broad horizontal view – now with a person in sight.
You can see the difference in ideas in both VR and MR below.
“We (developed) a pair of broad field-of-scenes headsets, each with a resolution and form factor compared to current consumer equipment, is obtained with a horizontal Fov of 180 degrees,” Reports“Our prototype headsets establish a new state -of -the -art in experiences of immersive virtual and mixed reality, pointing to the user benefits of wider FOVs for entertainment and telepressance applications.”
As the report states, humans have a horizontal area of approximately 200 degrees, so the purpose of these headsets is seen in our vision in VR and MR. It also notes that other consumers offer VR devices a wide area, such as Pimax crystal super With its 140 fov (as) Road for VR It is said), but “come at the cost of large form factors, limiting physical comfort and social acceptance.”
This will be a major upgrade for many best VR headsets, but it remains to be seen if we will see the characteristics of these prototypes in action soon.

While the Meta Quest 4 is rumored to be delayed by the “Meta Celeste” smart glass, VR and MR headset prototypes can give us a ink of what we expect in the next-gene devices.
Rumors of “Quest 4 VR Goggles” are rubbing, according to a report Mark Gurman of BloombergAnd similar to a goggle -like design with these prototypes, it may be that the meta is moving towards.
In addition, with this jump in horizontal Fov, allow more immersion in VR and Mr, this may be a significant upgradation to the upcoming VR headset. Nevertheless, it is only a prototype, and it is not clear whether Meta will eventually include something like this in its plans.
It will be interesting to see what kind of upgraded the rumor will be with Meta Quest 4, but if it is a broad area, it will definitely be welcomed.
