Virtual Reality (VR)

Meta cut jobs in its Reality Labs division, affecting teams like Oculus Studios and the Supernatural VR app. The layoffs are part of a move to make the division more efficient as Meta keeps investing in mixed reality.

Scientists in Hong Kong have created a lollipop-like device that lets users taste flavors in virtual reality using special ions and a hydrogel. This innovation is part of a broader effort to make VR more immersive by adding taste, touch, and other sensory experiences.

Meta's Reality Labs division has taken a significant step forward in the race to revolutionize augmented reality (AR) technology with its recent unveiling of the Orion AR glasses.
