Zuckerberg described the products as bringing together virtual and real worlds, and underscored that part of what Meta offered was low cost or free AI that could integrate into daily routine. Meta's Quest is the bestseller in the nascent VR space and the company's executives described it as the best value in the industry, a nod to the impending release of a much more expensive headset from Apple.
Earlier in the presentation Zuckerberg said the latest Quest mixed-reality headset would start shipping on Oct. 10. Meta AI will also be built in to the smart glasses as an assistant, starting with a beta rollout in the United States. A software update planned for next year will give the assistant the ability to identify places and objects that people are seeing, as well as to perform language translation.
Meta made the assistant, named Meta AI, using a custom model based on the powerful Llama 2 large language model that the company released for public commercial use in July. The chatbot will have access to real-time information via a partnership with Microsoft's Bing search engine, Zuckerberg said. Women's soccer star Sam Kerr, for example, served as the inspiration for Sally, a bot described by Meta as a"free-spirited friend who'll tell you when to take a deep breath."Zuckerberg said on Wednesday that Xbox cloud gaming is coming to Quest in December.
