Meta has announced that its Connect Conference will be livestreamed on October 11th at 1PM ET \/ 10AM PT. In a post on the Oculus blog<\/a>, the company says it\u2019ll cover the progress it\u2019s made on the metaverse and offer \u201ca look at what\u2019s to come in the near and far future.\u201d The announcements can\u2019t measure up to last year\u2019s Connect, where the company changed its name from Facebook to Meta<\/a>, but the company has said we\u2019ll see information on the Horizon Worlds virtual reality app and hinted that the high-end \u201cProject Cambria\u201d headset will show up as well.<\/p>\n

Last month, Mark Zuckerberg confirmed<\/a> the company is announcing a new VR headset in October, and on Tuesday, he backed up that idea with an image he posted to Facebook. The device he\u2019s wearing in the photo looks very similar to what we\u2019ve seen of Project Cambria already<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Looks like Cambria to me (though that almost certainly won\u2019t be its final name).<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: Mark Zuckerberg<\/cite><\/p>\n

According to Zuckerberg, the headset will include eye and facial tracking and color passthrough, and it\u2019s rumored to have a higher-res screen than what\u2019s currently included on the Oculus Quest 2. It\u2019s also expected to be significantly more expensive than the Quest 2, which recently got its price bumped up<\/a> to $399.99.<\/p>\n

Last month, Zuckerberg also announced that there would be details about \u201cMajor updates to Horizon and avatar graphics\u201d announced at the Connect conference. Horizon Worlds is the company\u2019s flagship metaverse app, which lets people create their own experiences and hang out in virtual reality (similar to programs like VRChat). Zuckerberg recently posted a screenshot of Horizon that earned a lot of ridicule \u2014 and generated a lot of memes \u2014 because of its relatively low-quality graphics. The Meta CEO responded to the memes by promising significant upgrades, which we should hear more about on October 11th.<\/p>\n

The company has made a big bet that the metaverse will be the future and is spending billions of dollars a year on trying to make that happen. I suspect we\u2019ll see it try to justify that expense<\/a> at Connect, as well as try and convince the public that it should actually be paying attention to the metaverse rather than making fun of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
