"A lot was leaked before the event, so what was truly new? Meta gave its metaverse an AI-powered refresh. In the middle of a glasses-heavy keynote, the company announced a feature that lets people build full 3D worlds for Quest with nothing more than text prompts. It's a genuinely neat use case for AI, even if Horizon Worlds still doesn't seem like a place most people actually want to hang out."
"The neural wristband used to control the new glasses looked amazing! To those who don't know, it's the same band Meta showed off last year with prototypes of its Orion augmented reality glasses. Orion won't be available to buy for the foreseeable future (if ever), but the band itself is real, and is shipping with the new glasses in a few weeks."
Mark Zuckerberg focused Meta Connect on AI and AR. Generative models have improved ad targeting across Meta's platforms, but consumer-facing AI experiences remain uncertain. Meta has spent billions on AR with limited results. Internet-connected glasses achieved modest success, but widespread face-worn computers remain doubtful. The company introduced an AI-powered feature to build full 3D Quest worlds from text prompts. Meta demonstrated a neural wristband that controls new glasses and will ship with them soon. Orion AR glasses prototypes exist but are unlikely to be sold in the near term. Horizon Worlds lacks mainstream appeal.
