Meta’s annual Connect conference is commencing in Menlo Park, California, and the company is anticipated to unveil its first augmented reality (AR) glasses, codenamed Orion, along with significant announcements related to artificial intelligence (AI).
Throughout the past year, Meta has aggressively pursued the integration of AI features into its array of platforms. This includes developments such as Meta AI, the company’s answer to ChatGPT, custom creator chatbots for Instagram and WhatsApp, and AI-generated images utilizing the company’s Llama model.
Additionally, updates are expected on Meta’s smart glasses collaboration with Ray-Ban. The Meta Quest line of headsets, typically receiving substantial updates during the Connect conference, is also likely to be a focal point. The event serves as a platform for CEO Mark Zuckerberg to present his strategic vision for social media, the metaverse, AI, and related technologies.
