Images leak showing Meta's Project Phoenix mixed reality headset
Leaked images embedded in the latest Horizon OS support files offer a first look at Meta's Project Phoenix mixed reality headset, showing how prescription lenses fit and a QR code setup step. The pictures, reported via UploadVR and Engadget, depict a glasses-like shape with front-facing cameras rather than transparent optics and a cable running down from the device, which suggests battery or processing will sit in a separate, connected component. The leak precedes a predicted 2027 launch and the Meta Connect event, but technical details and final form factor remain limited and unresolved.
First leaked images show thin, glasses-like MR headset with external cable.
