Meta Connect 2025 is nearly here, with company CEO Mark Zuckerberg only a few hours away from telling us what\u2019s next for the most influential company currently working in XR.<\/p>\n
The keynote is starting unusually late this year, coming today at 5PM PT \/ 8PM ET (local time here<\/a>), where Zuckerberg will take the stage to share\u00a0Meta\u2019s latest developments in mixed reality, AI, the metaverse and wearables.\u00a0<\/p>\n Note: that last one may be a big focus this year, as the company seemingly leaked its lineup of next-gen smart glasses built with Essilor Luxottica<\/a>\u00a0yesterday, including a model that includes a single monocular display.<\/p>\n We\u2019re currently at Meta Connect, so we\u2019ll be reporting on all of latest in XR news to come from the event.\u00a0You can follow along live via YouTube at 5PM PT to catch the big keynote:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Still, there\u2019s no telling what else the company has in store, with many questions still lingering from last Connect, which was only a few months after Meta announced it was not only open its Horizon OS to third parties<\/a> for the first time, but also allowing a fleet of Quest-like headsets from Asus and Lenovo<\/a>\u00a0to come to market.<\/p>\n Like most years, we\u2019re expecting to hear more about Quest games, experiences, and the company\u2019s social VR platform, Horizon Worlds. Whatever the case, we\u2019re always ready for a Connect curveball, so check back for our continued coverage of breaking news, previews, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta Connect 2025 is nearly here, with company CEO Mark Zuckerberg only a few hours away from telling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[86,56,54,55,4297,4298,4299],"class_list":["post-144298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-virtual-reality","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-virtual-reality","tag-virtualreality","tag-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
