Update: Meta’s Moved the Start Time by 30 Minutes to 10:30 AM PT/1:30 PM ET
As we count down to the highly anticipated Meta Connect conference, the social media giant has made a last-minute adjustment to the start time. Instead of kicking off at 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET, the keynote will now begin at 10:30 AM PT/1:30 PM ET. While there’s no explanation for this change, it’s clear that Meta wants to make an even bigger impact with its presentations.
A Sneak Peek into the Future of AR and VR
The annual Connect conference is just around the corner, scheduled to take place on September 27th. As we wait with bated breath for the keynote, rumors are circulating about the star of the show: Meta Quest 3. This latest iteration of the popular headset promises to be a game-changer in the world of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). With its predecessor, the Quest Pro, still fresh in our minds, many are eager to see what improvements Meta has made.
The Road to Mainstream Adoption
While companies like Magic Leap have shifted their focus towards corporate training and prototyping, Meta remains committed to consumer-focused AR and VR. Gaming has been a significant area of success for the social media giant, with a decent chunk of its revenue coming from this space. Although VR/AR haven’t quite lived up to Mark Zuckerberg’s expectations, Meta has managed to stay ahead of the competition.
A Glimpse into the Future
Before we dive deeper into the specifics of Meta Quest 3, let’s take a look at some of the features that have been teased by Zuck himself:
- High-res color mixed reality: This innovative technology promises to deliver a more immersive experience for users.
- 40% thinner and more comfortable design: The Quest 3 is set to be a significant improvement over its predecessor, with a sleeker and more user-friendly design.
- Better displays and resolution: Meta has always been at the forefront of display technology, and this latest iteration promises to deliver even better visuals.
- Next-gen Qualcomm chipset with 2x graphics performance: This significant upgrade will ensure that users have an unparalleled gaming experience.
The Price Tag
While the Quest Pro comes with a hefty price tag of $1,000, Meta is aiming to make its new headset more accessible. The company has revealed that the Meta Quest 3 will retail at $499, making it significantly cheaper than its predecessors. This move is likely designed to undercut the competition, including the Magic Leap 2 and Apple’s Vision Pro.
