The Meta Cto Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, who was one of the first 15 engineers of the company, published a reminder at the beginning of this year, providing that 2025 could be the year of the size for the workshops, the company’s augmented and virtual reality unit of the company. Now, it would be the year in which Metoversh Goas are a “legendary misadventure”.
In these days, Boz seems to be leaning on its potential of size. But the market will be the final decisive factor.
“Well, judge at the end of the decade, but this seems to be the key year,” Boz said during a Bloomberg technological interview.
Boz observed that Ray Ban glasses Ai di Meta had been a break that excited both consumers and competitors. In February, Meta sold More than 2 million peers Sell their beginning of October 2023. Last autumn, they Outsold Ray BansEven before Meta launched artificial intelligence features.
Meanwhile, Google last month announced partnership with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker a Create smart glasses Based on Android XR. According to reports, Apple is also making a push to Smart glasses in 2026.
“Suddenly, let’s move on to the carpenter in the realms of darkness to be a lot in the world with a very attractive product for consumers and therefore competitors,” said Boz. “The clock has started coming and this only means that the progress we do in this year are of disproportionate value for any year before or after closing.
However, competition among other historical operators does not mean anything if the market does not adopt the AR and VR products of Meta, which is what else pushes the sector to standardize technology.
“The market is actually, especially when it comes to hardware, a final indicator,” said Boz. “So you are looking for the first indicators. To a certain extent, you must have a level of trust and taste internally.”
He said this was something he learned from Sheryl Sandberg, operational director of the Meta train.
“Sheryl always talked about how most companies did not fail because they were beaten by a competitor,” said Boz. “Most of the companies fail because they have not correctly performed their plan. And therefore what I try to do with the team is really focusing on it, not so much on the complete panorama as [whether] We are carrying out our standard. “
The Meta Cto said that the company has “a series of ambitious plans for the year” for which it is on the right road.
“What he knew well by the end of the year is where we performed or not on our plan,” said Boz. “What we will know in five years is that it was enough.”
