Meta Plans to Produce Mixed Reality Headsets in Vietnam

By Tracy Qu

 

Meta plans to produce its latest mixed reality headsets in Vietnam starting next year, as part of efforts to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia.

The company's plans to produce Quest 3S headsets in Vietnam are expected to create 1,000 jobs in the country, according to an article by Vietnam's government news website, citing Nick Clegg, Meta's president for global affairs.

Meta also plans to develop its virtual assistant, Meta AI, in the Vietnamese language, to boost innovation in the country, according to the report.

Meta didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company in late September unveiled its Meta Quest 3S headset, which it said has the same capabilities as the Meta Quest 3 headset, but at a lower price point.
