These cutting-edge platforms have been developed in close collaboration with Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, and are set to be commercially available on Meta devices in 2023.

Two notable products are slated for release: the recently released Meta Quest 3, powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 Platform, and the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses collection, driven by the Snapdragon AR1 Platform. Additionally, other manufacturers are expected to follow suit in adopting Snapdragon as their preferred XR platform.

Meta’s CTO and Head of Reality Labs, Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, emphasized their shared commitment to pioneering mixed reality and smart glasses technologies.

He highlighted Qualcomm Technologies as an indispensable industry partner, collaborating on groundbreaking innovations in power, performance, and AI. The Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 and Snapdragon AR1 Platforms, which underpin Meta Quest 3 and the upcoming Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, exemplify the fruits of this collaboration, poised to deliver transformative experiences to users worldwide.
