Facebook envisions future VR/AR hardware with Cambria and Nazaré projects

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company is working on futurist virtual reality and augmented reality projects, dubbed respectively Project Cambria and Project Nazaré.

Cambria is a VR headset that is still a ways from shipping, and it will include high-end VR features that the company will bundle with a more expensive headset as it eventually tries to bring it down into the range of lower-priced Oculus Quest hardware. He said it is expected to hit the market in 2022.
