The company is reportedly preparing a wrist-based controller with AR applications, expected for release in 2025, serving as a precursor to full-fledged AR glasses slated for 2027. In the realm of AI, Meta plans to introduce generative AI chatbots with distinct personalities to attract younger users. These chatbots will be integrated into Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and the metaverse apps. While some may find this concept cringeworthy, it underscores Meta's commitment to leveraging AI for metaverse engagement. Despite past challenges in promoting the metaverse vision, Meta is likely to highlight its AI investments during Connect. Recent AI advancements have garnered significant enthusiasm, potentially allowing Meta to present metaverse projects as cutting-edge AI innovation.
