Mark Zuckerberg had plenty to show off at Meta's Connect keynote, including the Meta Quest 3S, a new, budget-friendly VR/MR headset, plus new features coming to the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, and a bunch of new AI tools for Facebook and Instagram. He also sprang a surprise, unveiling prototype holographic AR glasses, dubbed Orion. We’ve rounded up the top takeaways from the event.
Meta has announced the Meta Quest 3S headset, an affordable alternative to the 5-star Quest 3. It boasts near-identical specs – except for less-sharp displays – in a bulkier body, and at just $299.99 / £289.99 it's set to open up VR/MR to a whole new audience.
Meta also announced some big Meta AI updates, including the introduction of a voice mode to Meta AI that works across all its social media apps – and the AI can respond to your queries in the voice of one of your favorite celebrities if that's your thing.
We've seen multiple leaks for the upcoming Galaxy S24 FE phone and Galaxy Tab S10 tablet series, but now Samsung itself is getting involved – it seems to have been a little too hasty in posting preorder pages, revealing the pricing on these devices.
Macs and iPhones work very well together, and it seems Microsoft is busy trying to make the Windows 11 and Android experience as smooth and convenient: a new feature to sync tasks between desktop and mobile is in the works, though it's not live yet.
