- The Meta Cto was asked what we can expect from the goal Connect 2025
- In response, he made fun of “great wearable ads”
- However, he did not mention virtual reality hardware
Connect 2025 goal is approaching quickly, it is just over a month on September 17, but the finish line is already hinting at what we will see in the event, and perhaps equally important, insinuates what we will not see this time when not mentioning it.
Andrew Bosworth houses frequent amas on Instagram (through Uploadvr), where he provides surprisingly open answers to the questions posed by the public, with his latest comments related to one Ama on what to expect from Connect 2025.
After asking what can hint, Bosworth reveals that the event will include “great wearable ads”, “AI, especially Ai Plus Wearables”, “AI Plus Metverse” and “Metverse Software”.
I will immerse myself in those, especially on the wearable side, at one time, but I want to highlight a Bosworth category that did not name: Hardware Metaverse, also known as VR / MR headphones.
Now it is worth noting that the lack of a promise of an ad is not the same as saying explicitly there will be a new virtual reality hardware. But the lack of a new Quest 4, Quest Pro 2 or some other type of headphones was expected, and this Bosworth Ama adds more fuel to the fire of speculation.
Rumors cause a new headset, or glasses, from finishing in the future, but is not due to the earth until at least next year, depending on the leaks. The wait also gives the goal flexibility to better reject any project that Moohan de Samsung and Google has in the store when Android XR enters the ring.
Quest 3 and Quest 3s are large machines; Meta does not need to rush his successor.
At least we can get excited about the new Metverse software, although it is not clear what form will take this. The new virtual reality games or video transmission services would be ideal (an VR Deadpool update seems likely), but there is not too much information to exploit based on the broader comments or leaks of Bosworth.
Glasses in abundance
Well, don’t contain breathing for a mission 4. But why should we keep our eyes out?
It is likely that wearables come in three rumors based on rumors and the recent launch of the Smart Oakley Smart specifications.
The most likely is a model with a name in Celeste Code, according to rumors. These smart glasses are rumored for a long time and they have been told to be AI glasses, most likely Ray-Bans goal, with an exhibition for the first time. They will not be complete as the Orion prototype, but they offer some half step between them and what we currently have.
It is said that Celeste is only equipped with a single screen, and will not have a wide field of vision or offer positional monitoring. This means the notifications and information that the glasses show that it will always appear at a specific distance away, instead that they can establish them virtually in the space so that it can approach or further, as it can with a real object.
These glasses can also be packaged with the first finish bracelet, or some other portable device similar to the smart watch. Instead of tracking health metrics, it is believed that the goal clock focuses mainly on providing control over virtual objects and notifications, but I would not be surprised if there was an updated version that I could buy that includes a typical health and physical condition monitoring. That is, if the base model lacks those characteristics.
My final wearable prediction is more a clearance, but it makes sense to me when it considers the age of the most recent finish lines and the hardware updates that the new Oakleys received.
That is, I believe that Meta will also launch an update of its rays without screen with the improved camera and battery offered by the Oakleys, perhaps with some new designs to start.
Unlike Celeste, there are no rumors of this, and it would generally have been if we were close to the launch, but it seems obvious that it is not smarter to give the ultra popular intelligent goggles of the finish line ‘a light update, so they are in the best possible place to defend themselves from the Android XR specifications that should begin to fall in 2026.
