The headset uses a unique neuroscience-driven interface to access, manipulate and share digital information easily and naturally. The company call this The Neural Path of Least Resistance. and they see it as a new zero-learning-curve approach to computing.<ref>https://www.metavision.com/</ref> | The headset uses a unique neuroscience-driven interface to access, manipulate and share digital information easily and naturally.

"The Meta 2 sensor array makes positional tracking possible to see, grab and move holograms just like physical objects. You can also track objects, such as a pen or paint brush. Meta 2 provides a new kind of operating environment where you can arrange your holographic apps and objects. You can lay out your workspace and things stay exactly where you put them. You and a friend or colleague can even interact with the holograms simultaneously," states the company on their official website.<ref>https://www.metavision.com/</ref> | "The Meta 2 sensor array makes positional tracking possible to see, grab and move holograms just like physical objects.

==Hardware== | |||
Unveiled at TEDx 2016 by Meta CEO Meron Gribetz, the Meta 2 VR headset features a full 90-degree field of view and 2560 x 1440 high-dpi display.<ref>https://www.metavision.com/</ref> The see-through headset makes everything below the eyebrow-level transparent. allowing users to make eye contact with others. | |||
As stated by Road to VR, Meta 2 is a tethered device which requires the horsepower of a computer to display everything it can.<ref>http://www.roadtovr.com/meta-2-development-kit-hands-on-could-do-for-augmented-reality-what-oculus-rift-dk1-did-for-virtual-reality/</ref> This could prove to be a huge obsticle to success for the company as other VR leader are pushing for untethered solutions. | As stated by Road to VR, Meta 2 is a tethered device which requires the horsepower of a computer to display everything it can.<ref>http://www.roadtovr.com/meta-2-development-kit-hands-on-could-do-for-augmented-reality-what-oculus-rift-dk1-did-for-virtual-reality/</ref> This could prove to be a huge obsticle to success for the company as other VR leader are pushing for untethered solutions. | ||
