Meta Connect, the annual event that serves as both the company\u2019s developer conference and a platform for its new hardware announcements, is happening this week.<\/p>\n
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> is expected to take the stage at 5 pm Pacific<\/strong>, 8 pm Eastern<\/strong>, and 1 am British Summer Time<\/strong> on Wednesday, September 17, to announce a fleet of new smart glasses. We also expect to hear some updates on Meta\u2019s<\/a> machine intelligence efforts, and maybe a hint or two about how things are going at the company\u2019s fledgling AI superintelligence<\/a> lab.<\/p>\n You can watch the video of the Meta Connect livestream from Meta\u2019s Horizon site<\/a> or on the Meta for developers Facebook page<\/a>. Unlike Apple or Google, Meta doesn\u2019t stream its conference keynote on YouTube.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re all in on the virtual reality future, you can also watch the event on a Meta Quest headset by going into the Horizon page<\/a> and selecting the VR viewing option.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a developer and want to register for Connect, you can do that by plugging your name and email into the Meta Connect website<\/a>. In the upper-right corner, look for a button that reads \u201cRegister for the livestream.\u201d Enter your information and you\u2019ll get information about additional presentations and developer sessions.<\/p>\n What to Expect<\/p>\n While there may be some surprises at the event, Meta did fumble its reveal earlier this week when it accidentally leaked images<\/a> of some new glasses that seem queued up to be announced at Connect. The leaked image includes the word Display, which could hint that Meta is looking to put out a new pair of glasses with an actual display built into the lenses.<\/p>\n The company showed off its ambitions for such a wearable device at its Connect event last year when it debuted its prototype Orion frames<\/a>, which relied on a wristband for navigation and a wireless puck for connectivity and computing power. The design of last year\u2019s frames used waveguide technology to create virtual displays of images, text, and videos that appear in the wearer\u2019s vision. Developers have had access to Orion frames for a year, so the technology is likely ready for its next step.<\/p>\n We\u2019re also expecting new models of the smart glasses developed by Meta and its main brand partners, Ray-Ban<\/a> and Oakley<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tune in at 5 pm Pacific on Wednesday for more coverage of Meta Connect 2025 as it happens live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta Connect, the annual event that serves as both the company\u2019s developer conference and a platform for its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[9451,18,877,19,17,48232,1721,1722,82,3149],"class_list":{"0":"post-69431","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-augmented-reality","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-facebook","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-livestream","14":"tag-mark-zuckerberg","15":"tag-meta","16":"tag-technology","17":"tag-wearables"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
