This morning, Meta CTO Andrew “Boz” Bosworth announced the biggest restructuring of the company’s hardware division since it was renamed to Reality Labs in 2020. 

All teams in Reality Labs are being merged into two groups: a central “Metaverse” organization that now includes the Quest headset line and a new “Wearables” organization that encompasses the rest of Meta’s hardware efforts, including its smart glasses with Ray-Ban. (You can read the full internal memo announcing the changes below.)

The restructuring means that some employees in Reality Labs were also laid off, as I’ve confirmed with multiple sources. I don’t know the exact number of cuts (Meta declined to comment) but have heard that it’s a relatively small number and focused on teams in Reality Labs where leadership roles are now redundant thanks to this new structure.
