- ByteDance is reportedly working on mixed reality goggles.
- Sources compare the size and shape of the goggles to Bigscreen’s Beyond headset.
- It will come tethered to a puck, similar to Meta’s XR glasses.
Outside of AI, the hottest thing in tech these days seems to be smart glasses. We’ve known for a few months now that Meta is working on XR glasses, internally codenamed Phoenix (previously codenamed Puffin). Not to be confused with Orion, which is the social media giant’s AR glasses project. According to a new report, it looks like rival ByteDance has decided to follow Meta’s footsteps and create its own XR device.
Sources close to the matter have told The Information that TikTok’s parent company is developing a lightweight mixed reality device that resembles a pair of goggles. These goggles will reportedly be tethered to a pocketable puck that may double as a power source and computational device. Additionally, it appears that the company is working on developing specialized chips that will minimize the latency between what the user sees and their physical movements.
