Meta is preparing to showcase two new virtual reality headset prototypes at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver, offering a glimpse into the company’s future hardware ambitions. The devices, codenamed Tiramisu and Boba 3, take two very different approaches to advancing VR technology.

Nvidia Corp has publicly rejected a U.S. proposal to embed remote-access functions into its chips, amid heightened scrutiny from China’s top internet regulator.
