Meta Connect 2024 was a glimpse into the future of immersive tech. Here’s a quick dive into the key announcements:

 

#1

Quest 3S: VR for Everyone

Meta announced the Quest 3S, a $299.99 version of its flagship VR headset. Designed for accessibility, it offers the same power as the Quest 3 but at a fraction of the cost. With its October 15 release, it aims to bring VR to a wider audience. The $399.99 version with more storage remains far more affordable than Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro.

Ray-Ban Smart Glasses: The Future on Your Face

Meta’s latest Ray-Ban smart glasses integrate live translation, allowing users to understand multiple languages in real-time. The update includes partnerships with apps like Spotify, enabling voice-controlled music. Meta is pushing these glasses to be a companion for everyday life, even remembering information like phone numbers or parking spots. A new transparent limited edition is now available.
#3

Orion AR Glasses: Next-Level Augmented Reality

Perhaps the most exciting reveal was the Orion AR glasses, a prototype Meta calls the "most advanced AR glasses ever made." While not yet available to the public, Orion shows Meta’s direction in creating powerful augmented reality hardware. Developers will be using these internally for now, but they promise to redefine what AR can achieve.

AI Meets VR: Enhanced Features for Meta’s AI Assistant

Meta is diving deeper into AI, integrating new tools across its platforms. New features like celebrity voices for the Meta AI assistant (including John Cena!) and AI-powered translation for Reels on Facebook and Instagram are designed to make experiences more personalized. The AI can even enhance photo editing for users.

Llama 3.2: The Power Behind Meta’s AI

Powering these innovations is Meta’s Llama 3.2, its latest large language model. Zuckerberg highlighted that Meta AI now has 500 million active monthly users, positioning it to become the leading AI assistant in the industry by the end of the year. This could revolutionize how developers build AI tools.
