Meta Connect Event Set for September 23–24 Alongside New Glasses Tease

▤ Summary

Meta set its annual Connect event for September 23–24 and will host it at its Menlo Park campus with online streams. The company teased what appears to be a new pair of smart glasses and said the event will focus on VR, wearables, the metaverse, and AI. The announcement comes amid a year of internal reorganization, studio closures, and shifting priorities that have left developers and the XR industry uncertain about Meta's headset roadmap. Meta can use Connect to reassure developers and customers about its XR platform direction; if it announces a new headset, it would signal renewed confidence, while the absence of one would heighten concerns.
