Meta’s annual Connect conference is getting started in Menlo Park, California, and we’re expecting the company to debut its first AR glasses, codenamed Orion, alongside a whole lot of AI news.
Over the past year, Meta has made a big push to integrate AI features into the platforms it owns: whether it be through its ChatGPT rival, Meta AI, custom creator chatbots in Instagram and WhatsApp, or AI-generated images powered by the company’s Llama model.
There are also Meta’s smart glasses with Ray-Ban, which we expect to hear updates about. And then there’s the Meta Quest line of headsets, which usually see big updates at Connect. The event is an opportunity for CEO Mark Zuckerberg to showcase his vision for social media, the metaverse, AI, and everything in between.
