Literally. The company shared some details on its Tiramisu project, dubbing it &#8220;hyperrealistic VR.&#8221; This set promises three times the contrast, 14 times the maximum brightness and 3.6 times the angular resolution of the Meta Quest 3. In actual stats, that&#8217;s up to 1,400 nits of brightness and an angular resolution of 90 pixels per degree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">One of the goals for Reality Labs Research\u2019s Optics, Photonics and Light Systems (OPALS) team is to create a virtual reality experience that is indistinguishable from the real world, or what it calls a visual Turing test. &#8220;Our mission for this project was to provide the best image quality possible,&#8221; said Xuan Wang, an optical research scientist with OPALS. But the team achieved that quality with some tradeoffs; Tiramisu has a limited field of view of just 33 degrees by 33 degrees compared to the 110 degrees horizontal and 96 degrees vertical FOV in the Meta Quest 3. And the form factor is currently a pretty bulky beast, as you can see above.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Meta researcher wearing the Boba 3 headset\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"616\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"md:rounded-[10px]\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/W9umxMeC16F2dHonvhKY8w--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYxNg--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2025-08\/88636810-73e0-11f0-afdd-b22e98e88aee\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] mt-1 engadget-slate-gray line-clamp-2 mt-2.5 md:mt-2 pr-2.5\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center space-x-[2px]\">\n<p>Meta researcher wearing the Boba 3 headset<\/p>\n<p><span>(Meta)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">The other prototypes detailed in the company&#8217;s blog post are Boba 3 headsets.
