Meta’s prototype headsets show off the future of mixed reality | The Verge
The future of VR could be much more realistic — or offer a wider FOV.

Meta’s research arm is gearing up to wow SIGGRAPH 2025 with some wild mixed-reality prototypes. The “Tiramisu” headset cranks up realism with roughly 3× the contrast, 3.6× the angular resolution (90 PPD) and 14× the brightness (1,400 nits) of a Quest 3—trading off size, weight and a narrower FOV for visuals that might just pass a “visual Turing test.”
On the flip side, the Boba 3 and Boba 3 VR models chase human-eye immersion with an enormous 180°×120° field of view and 4K×4K per-eye displays (up from 3K×3K in Boba 2). While these are purely lab demos that may never hit stores, they offer a thrilling glimpse at the next era of ultra-wide, hyper-real VR.
