Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to unveil new artificial intelligence features, smart glasses and “mixed reality” goggles at the company’s Meta Connect event, scheduled to be held on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
The two-day event will feature the 40-year-old tech billionaire, showing off his latest upgrades for his growing tech empire — which includes social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger — ahead of Christmas.
These AI gadgets include Meta Quest headsets and smart glasses, featuring new upgrades to Meta’s AI systems.
Meta calls it “a two-day event featuring the technologies of the future”, according to the US Sun.
According to the US Sun, the event is also aimed at developers and will feature an important keynote during which Zuckerberg will announce the gadgets and upgrades.
Additionally, this keynote will be livestreamed from the heart of California’s Silicon Valley.
About the Meta Connect keynote, Meta said: “Join Meta Founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, as he shares the latest developments in mixed reality, AI and wearables.
“Hear how Meta is building towards the next computing platforms and get a first look at new products and features that will deliver the future of human connection.”
What to expect from Meta Connect 2024?
At last year’s Meta Connect, Zuckerberg showcased new AI Personas for WhatsApp and Instagram. This year’s event may feature similar AI chatbot capabilities.
Additionally, the next-gen versions of the company’s major gadgets are likely to be unveiled at the two-day event, including the more affordable Meta Quest 3S headset.
However, a release date for the Meta Quest 4 has not been announced yet.
This year, Zuckerberg is also rumoured to unveil a new pair of glasses, named Orion, with augmented reality features, enabling computer-generated images to be overlaid onto the real world.
