I have a prediction for the mixed reality headset META releases in 2030, hardware specs below
Weight: 125-150 gram (iPhone 14 = 172 gram in 2022)
Compute power: CPU Around 5x as powerful as the M2 chip, with a GPU at 25 – 50 Teraflops (1/3 to 1/2 of RTX4090)
Power consumption: 15-30w (similar to Apple M2 in 2022)
Battery life: 12 hour constant use, 32 hour standby
Screen: Curved Dual 4k display OLED or miniLED, with transparency mode to use it as a see through glass
Camera: Dual 48MP sensor for stills and 4K 60HPS 3D video
Portability: Overall size and form factor similar to Snapchat Spectacle 3, drop resistant from eye height, water proof up to under 3 meters depth
Sound: embedded spacial audio with optional earbud module for active noise cancelling
Wireless: work with most mobile carriers, 6G and WiFi 7/8
Security: Retina scan and voice based unlock
Pricing: $29.99 – 39.99 installation plan with carriers 24-36 months, or $799 to $1299 based on storage and performance options
Critical OS features: expect perfect text to speech, perfect real-time speech to text (including translations), gaze / blink based navigations. Expect multi tasking at the same level of iPad OS.
I plan to use it for messaging , map navigations and text 30% of the time, browsing Reddit 30% of the time, watching movies 15% of the time and gaming for 15% of the time. I still won’t use Instagram and Facebook though.
Wish me luck 🤡
