Think it's pretty clear that they're trying to make AR glasses in this form factor, like Apple has been trying to both are hitting up against technology very hard limits.
Apple's approach seems to be now, make a VR headset with extremely high quality passthrough and hope they can solve it down to glasses over the next decade.
Meta's approach seems to be make a really good stand alone VR headset (already done) and now make a glasses form factor with whats possible today and hope to make them meet in the middle some how eventually.
Both these product roadmaps are from a pre-ChatGPT world and seem strange now especially Vision Pro. I fully expect Meta to move more into trying to retool the glasses into a AI assistant led product and slowly move the full AR Glasses to the backburner.
