According to MacRumors, according to former employees involved in the project, Mark Zuckerberg hopes to make Meta's upcoming AR glasses his "iPhone moment" and give him and the company a new look.
The review is a report for The Verge that outlines Meta's roadmap for AR glasses, which includes at least four different versions over the next six years.

One of the device's features is the ability for users to communicate and interact with other people's holograms, similar to the fictional scene depicted in the video announcing facebook's change of business to Meta last October.
Meta intends to launch its first generation of AR glasses by 2024, aimed at early adopters and developers, the report said.

Looking ahead, Meta's AR roadmap includes a lighter, more advanced version of Nazare glasses that will be launched in 2026, followed by a third version in 2028.
