The Meta agreement makes the social media and VR hardware company Pixelworks' first major device manufacturer customer for TrueCut Motion device certification, according to the earnings release. Meta operates VR hardware and software, and its devices would carry TrueCut Motion-graded titles under the certification.\n\n\"Most recently, we achieved a major milestone with Meta becoming our first major device manufacturer customer for TrueCut Motion device certification,\" said Todd DeBonis, Chairman and CEO of Pixelworks. \"This multi-year agreement, which is ahead of the original timeline for our device licensing program, will bring unmatched cinematic clarity and highly immersive content to Meta's VR devices.\"\n\nThe quarter also included work with [Universal Pictures](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0002at1/universal-pictures) on DreamWorks Animation's animated comedy Forgotten Island, which was released in theaters in late September.
