Meta's new VR glasses land but still trail Vision Pro, longtime reviewer says

MARS Magazine's Adario Strange offered flash takes after Meta Connect 2026. He notes Meta's new VR glasses match his pre-Vision Pro prediction of lightweight smartglasses with a tethered puck, but despite Zuckerberg's jab at Apple, Meta still lags far behind Vision Pro in polish and content ecosystem — which remains a perfect, if wildly expensive, private home theater. The piece also notes the upcoming film 'The Social Reckoning' and Tom Cruise's BAFTA remark that audiences want real humans even as AI arrives.
