The first edition of Meta’s AR glasses will be available solely to developers

Meta is working on three types of standalone AR glasses that will be released over the next few years. The decision was reached not to sell version one because the device costs thousands of dollars to create and executives believe that some specifications, such as display brightness, are not consumer-ready. Not selling the glasses to consumers is similar to Snap’s policy, which does not sell its AR Spectacles spectacles but instead gives them to software developers.
