Meta Platforms Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday rolled out a new generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses that can stream directly on Facebook, as well as new AI products for consumers and an updated virtual-reality headset, all elements of the company's efforts to build out an immersive metaverse. Zuckerberg said a new generation of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses would start shipping on Oct. 17, priced at $299.
"This isn't just going to be about answering queries," Zuckerberg said. "This is about entertainment and about helping you do things to connect with the people around you." As he rolled out AI products, Zuckerberg showed off pictures the image generator made portraying a dinosaur as a house pet and changing the style of his dog Beast's fur.
The company is also building a platform that developers and ordinary people alike may use to create custom AI bots of their own, which will have profiles on Instagram and Facebook and eventually appear as avatars in the metaverse, he said. Starting at $500, the Quest 3 boasts the same mixed-reality technology that premiered in Meta's more expensive Quest Pro device launched last year, which shows wearers a video feed of the real world around them.
