Footage shared by Luna offers a closer look at the glasses-like design, removable lens inserts, and a QR-code step in the setup process.

New footage shared by Luna (opens in a new tab) shows what appears to be Meta’s unannounced Phoenix headset, including removable prescription lens inserts and a glasses-like frame.

Luna says the visuals were found in the Horizon OS Prescription Lens firmware package. The animation moves the inserts toward the headset’s lenses, then cuts to someone wearing the device and holding up a QR-code card.

A closer look at the design

The inside view shows separate nose pads, two lenses, and thick arms extending back from the frame. The inserts sit in front of the headset’s own optics, allowing prescription correction without wearing a separate pair of glasses underneath.

The final shot gives a useful sense of how the device sits on a person’s face. A cable runs back from the headset, while the wearer holds the card in front of it. The clip does not explain what information the code contains.

What the footage establishes

In a follow-up post (opens in a new tab), Luna identifies package version 1.0.0.0.3139, dated September 9.

Luna’s earlier report for UploadVR (opens in a new tab) describes Phoenix as a mixed reality headset with an external computing puck. Despite its glasses-like shape, the reported design uses cameras to show the surroundings on displays, rather than letting the wearer look directly through transparent lenses.

This is a look at reported setup material, not a product announcement from Meta. The clip does not establish a retail name, price, release date, or final specifications. Its clearest contribution is showing the headset’s interior and how prescription inserts may fit into the experience.
