It is September, which means that we are only a few days away from the Connect conference of Meta 2025, where they are expected to reveal new details about the various projects at the next level, including AI, AR-glasses, VR, and everything that can lie in between.
Indeed, for his keynote address, the Connect Website say:
“Join Mark Zuckerberg while sharing the latter on AI glasses and the vision of Meta for artificial intelligence and the metaverse.”
That’s right, the metaverse, that fictional, but perhaps also real, VR -based environment where one day we are all busy with each other through virtual avatars generated environments.
Believe in it or not, Meta still keeps it as part of its broader development vision, while we also learn more about the latest VR headsets.
Which meta actually A preview last week:
Meta does not say that one of these prototypes will enter production, but this gives a look in which Meta has worked on the VR room, which is a large part of the future vision of Zuckerberg.
Also last week were details Allegedly leaked About the upcoming “Hypernova” AI glasses from Meta, which is expected to be the next evolution of his jet ban meta glasses.
According to reports, the Hypernova glasses from Meta are planned to go into production later this year, with a view to the sale of around 200k units in the next two years. AI functionality will be the most important focus of the new device, unlike full-immersive AR, which will be the next big leap for portable consumers.
But at the same time, Meta is planning Integrate “A small augmented-reality display in the right lens, “that will be visible to the wearer. The hope of the company is to integrate that it will enable the first phase of his AR-Push Go to the market with so for Apple, which also develops an updated version of its Vision Pro device.
That also relates to prices. At this stage, the Hypernova glasses from Meta are expected to cost around $ 800, which is far removed from the $ 3.5k to which Apple priced its first Vision Pro units. This was an important focus for meta, when finding cost efficiency to lower the price and to ensure mass acceptance of its portable devices. Apple seems to be less concerned about this aspect.
In recent years there has been a lot of discussion about the Hypernova project of Meta, and it seems that we are now only a few weeks away from seeing what the company actually is planning and where it is placed in the wider Arrace.
Meta has long maintained that the full-immersive AR glasses until 2027 will not be available to consumers at the earliest, although it is planning to release its current model Aria AR device to developers later this year.
So they are close by, but the expectation is that Meta will not announce any major changes to the Aria timeline at Connect.
But it goes in that direction. And with Apple Building Vision Pro 2, and Snap Planning to push the launch of his AR device in stores next year, Meta should probably make a movement to maximize the potential in this area.
That Zuckerberg knows all too well. Meta has been developing AI for years, but it was not until OpenAi Chatgpt launched that Meta suddenly felt the need to accelerate his projects.
In this respect, OpenAI still demonstrably benefits from the first-mover advantage, and I suspect that Meta will not make the same mistake by having Apple van Snap beat it in the battle with functional AR-Wearables.
