On September 26, the founder and the CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg introduced a lot of new stuff that is produced by Meta and is about to launch soon in the market. The technology of VR headset has been taken to another level by Meta by its very new product that Mark unveiled in the Meta connect 2024. All of this is explained through the compressed paragraphs in the blog. All the highlights of the event are written directly in the following written content.
META QUEST 3S:-
Meta Quest 3S is the upgraded version of Meta Quest 3. All the features are similarly adapted from Meta Quest 3 like the “Snapdragon SR2 Gen 2 Processor” and additionally, some new exiting features are also implanted.
These features includes vivid passthroughs which is basically a small camera fixed to the outside of a VR headset that records the user’s surroundings. Plus natural hand-tracking option is available in Meta Quest 3S.
Touch plus controllers (used to provide a sense of hand presence in VR) is allowed for the users. Thousands of Games can also be played as an entertainment part.
Meta is working with Microsoft to introduce a feature which allows the user to pick the exact display from their laptops or pcs and float it around the surroundings. This feature will be available for any device which has windows 11 software installed in it.
Hyperscape is introduced which allows the user to scan any room and the surroundings for that person will be converted as per the scanned images. This could also work for the pre-scanned rooms that will be uploaded online.
LAMA 3.2 MULTIMODEL(META AI):-
The event continued and Mark showcased the improved model of Meta AI named Lama 3.2.
With the help of Lama 3.2, creative tools can be added to the uploaded images. For instance, Mark added skates instead of shoes in his image as a live demo.
As it is obvious that Meta AI is available on giant social media applications like Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.
A major feature for automatic dubbing the videos through Meta AI was showcased by Zuckerberg that for now only has two language options that are Spanish and English. A live demo was also conducted where a Spanish speaker had a conversation with Mark through the Meta AI.
Not only automatic dubbing but also lip-sync was mentioned by Mark. A live demo was shown where a Spanish speaking influencer spoke in his native language but Meta AI translated the Spanish sentences into English sentences with additionally doing the lip-sync as well.
ORION GLASSES PROTOTYPE:-
The main focus of the event was to bring in the knowledge about their next original product called “Orion Glasses”. These glasses are called the most technically advanced glasses In the world. The only technologically advanced thing in these glasses is that they are a more compatible and considerable version of the VR headsets. As I have mentioned VR headsets, this means that everything that a user does on VR headset, that similar work can be done through these advanced glasses.
Orion Glasses weighs only a 100 grams. The components used includes tiny projectors that shoots light into wave guides.
Nanoscale 3D structures etched into the lenses which deffract the light and put holograms at different depths.
