It\u2019s official: Meta Connect 2024<\/a> is taking place September 25 – 26 in Menlo Park, California, and online, and will no doubt deliver much for those with a keen interest in VR and AR to chew on. In anticipation of the event, its numerous product showcases, development reveals, and glimpses of the future of the industry, let\u2019s ponder the possibilities of Meta Connect 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A more modestly outfitted version of the latest addition to Meta\u2019s flagship device line has been rumored since the arrival of Quest 3. A recent leak in the app store has given excited users and pundits a name for said slimmed-down device. Meta Quest 3S is expected to be officially announced at Connect \u201924.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Apple Vision Pro<\/a> bringing increased attention to AR (or \u201cspatial computing\u201d), it\u2019s highly likely that Connect \u201924 will also see Meta announcing a focus on AR devices and content. One rumored device that could be made official in late September is a pair of slimline, lightweight AR glasses<\/a>. Meta has, after all, enjoyed a successful partnership with Ray-Ban, producing increasingly intelligent specs for casual consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI is seemingly on the minds of everyone even remotely connected to the myriad tech fields whether developer or consumer. Even professed luddites don\u2019t seem capable of not talking about AI. It makes abundant sense then that Meta would have some key AI developments to share come late September. Just what those will be remains to be seen, but with Reality Labs recently celebrating its accomplishments in AI, the company seems poised to push even further into the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s official: Meta Connect 2024 is taking place September 25 – 26 in Menlo Park, California, and online, and will<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1438,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,5],"tags":[135,151,109,131,136],"class_list":["post-1437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news","tag-ai","tag-glasses","tag-meta","tag-meta-connect","tag-meta-quest-3"],"yoast_head":"\nQuest 3S is Coming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
