Meta Connect 2025 was short, to the point and sincerely, impressive. It was not the best conference I have seen, but it covered things I am very interested in. Avatar in 3D VR is amazing. Hyperscape is a cool tech. Horizon worlds is making huge progress... And wearables too! [image]

The Ray-Ban Display glasses are Zuckerberg's latest attempt to reframe Meta, now on “personal superintelligence”, but they face tech and societal challenges

They're trying to back AI and Smart Glasses into the ‘Metaverse’...  Live tech demos are a bitch.

@ASychov Is it just on flat screen with depth? Not minimizing the event but just trying to understand what it is. I'm jealous.

Great here.  It's cloud based so for very fast shooters it doesn't beat local hardware with wired connection... But it's great.  That partnership was announced a while ago (2 years?)  And is for flat games.  The steam one was a surprise.  Wonder what that means for link and AirLink.  The oculus PC interface is outdated and doesn't even work with their social features... Making Steam link a better option as you can still use Quest social features over it.

@skeeva @DrGregVR I loved the go and 3DOF was a downer. But the controller was probably the next biggest pain. Guess HTC read the feedback word by word and just got 6DOF and got rid of controllers. But what we meant was “better controllers” 😭 will be hard to justify its purchase without it.
