Meta’s Reality Labs Aims for Big Breakthrough in 2025

Meta’s ambitious plans for augmented and virtual reality are taking center stage as the company gears up for a pivotal year. CTO Andrew Bosworth believes 2025 could be crucial in determining the success or failure of Meta’s Reality Labs division, especially given its focus on building the metaverse. He highlights that while market adoption is key, early product releases and internal execution will shape the path forward. Bosworth’s optimistic view stems from recent success with AI-powered smart glasses: over 2 million units have been sold since their launch in October 2023, exceeding expectations even in the face of established brands like Ray Ban.
