Introduction — Horizon OS VR headsets

What Meta has confirmed so far

Meta told Road to VR that partner devices are still planned, even though none were shown at the recent Connect event.

The companies involved include Asus (ROG brand) and Lenovo, both expected to produce headsets for different use cases such as high-performance VR and mixed reality for productivity and entertainment.

Meta also said that these headsets will “benefit from collaboration with Qualcomm,” which suggests they may use Snapdragon chips or newer variants.

Why Horizon OS VR headsets matters

• More device diversity gives buyers more options in price, performance, design.
• If Asus, Lenovo headsets deliver strong specs (eye-tracking, newer displays) under Horizon OS, Meta’s ecosystem becomes stronger competition for standalone VR from other brands.
• For developers, more headsets means wider potential audience for apps/games.
