Meta to Update Metaverse Plans at Annual Conference

Need2Know Headlines

The meta connect conference is underway. It's meta's biggest event of the year and the chance for Ceo Mark Zuckerberg to update the public on the company's plans on the metaverse and the future of artificial intelligence. Today's biggest announcement was around the release of the new Quest three VR headset which will start at $500. It includes a more powerful chip, better screens and what's called pass through. That's the ability to see what's happening outside of the headset without taking it off. Huh? It also said it has 500 games and apps ready for the headset launch. The Quest Three is an update to the Quest Two which is the best selling VR headset of all time. These improvements make it more competitive with Apple's Vision Pro which by the way is expected to be released next year for a hefty price tag of $3500. You can preorder the headset today. It will ship on October 10th.
