Meta previewed some of its latest virtual reality prototypes this week, including its work toward "hyperrealistic VR."

It turns out AI isn't the only thing Meta is still investing in, and its next-generation VR headset could push the boundaries of what's possible.

In its latest endeavor, Meta unveiled Tiramisu, a new headset prototype that it says is the closest it’s gotten to “passing the visual Turing Test.” In nerd lingo, that means its headset is inching towards tricking the eyes into thinking that a virtual world is actually a real one.

Meta previewed some of its latest virtual reality prototypes this week and plans to demo them at next week’s SIGGRAPH conference. The aim, according to Meta’s blog post, is to offer VR experiences “indistinguishable from the physical world” — something it says no present-day VR system has yet done.

Meta's "Tiramisu" headset protype is apparently the closest it's come to mimicking real human vision — but it's also way too big to consider putting on your head.
