The headset boasted a sleeker, more comfortable design, as well as new AR capabilities, that made it more appealing than its predecessor. Once again, for Meta Connect 2024, the social media giant is expected to drop a new VR headset, but it's not necessarily an upgrade over the Quest 3.

The blank check Meta offered its VR developers is reportedly being rolled back, though that doesn’t mean we won’t see interesting headsets and wearables at its next dev conference. Connect will be full of new AI enhancements and their connection to Meta’s hardware slate.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will take the stage on September 25 to deliver a keynote address about all things AR and VR, chatbots, headsets, smart glasses, and generative AI. Here’s a preview.

Meta’s developer conference may bring a dash of new Quest VR hardware, mixed reality experiences, and a truckload of AI software news — here’s how to watch it.
