Recent leaks about a new VR headset from Asus have caused quite a stir in the tech community. It’s rumored to feature both eye and face tracking capabilities, alongside the option to integrate Meta’s Horizon OS.

Key Features

• Eye and Face Tracking: Enhances user interaction and improves dynamic foveated rendering.
• Display Technology: Possible use of QD-LCD with local dimming or µOLED technology.

Context of the Rumors

Reports from Lunayian on X suggest this headset could be among the first third-party devices to implement Meta’s operating system, making it a significant player in the VR market.

The collaboration between Asus and Meta was officially announced last year, with the aim to create a more open ecosystem akin to PCs in contrast to other tech giants.

This advancement not only illustrates Asus’s intent to push boundaries in the VR realm but also highlights a potential shift in the VR landscape, encouraging more competition and innovation in an otherwise monopolized market.
