Meta Connect: What to expect

The latest post shared by Zuckerberg also hints at the same, as he is wearing a headset in the teaser image. This headset is expected to be the one that the company was working on under its Project Cambria.

He had confirmed that the said headset will come with eye and facial tracking along with colour passthrough. The VR headset might feature a higher-res screen as compared to its predecessor Oculus Quest 2. The headset is likely to be priced at more than Quest 2 which is priced at $400.

Additionally, Zuckerberg also announced that the event will also showcase “major updates to Horizon and avatar graphics”. For the unversed, Horizon Worlds is the company’s metaverse app that allows people to create their own experiences and hang out in virtual reality. The app is just available in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France and Spain.

Recently, Meta updated its content policies for Horizon Worlds users and introduced a new content rating system for “mature audiences”. This was done to addresss user concerns about privacy in the virtual worlds. It is expected that the company might announce some new safety tools at the upcoming event.
