Most rumors point to a possible new VR headset announcement.
The blog post itself is rather cryptic and does not give many specifics per se. Meta merely stipulates that it would be bringing “updates on the progress” it has made with regards to its vision of the metaverse.
For reference, the “metaverse” is the ultimate goal for the future of the tech company and also the reason why it decided to change its name to Meta last year in the first place. The biggest announcement should be the launch of “Project Cambria”, Meta’s high-end virtual reality headset, which has been under development for quite some time. Updates to Horizon Worlds, the main metaverse app, are also expected.
It should be noted that the main driving force behind the event will be the company’s Reality Labs division. Hence, any updates to Meta’s more mundane projects like Facebook and Instagram are rather unlikely. The “metaverse” has proven to be a very expensive endeavor on Meta’s part. It has yet to materialize any tangible profits and despite Zuckerberg’s enthusiasm, many investors remain somewhat skeptical. The Connect conference will likely try to assuage at least some of the financial concerns by trying to tap into the potential of virtual reality.
