Meta Connect has evolved beyond VR into the launchpad for Meta's hardware, Metaverse, and AI projects. The company expects CEO Mark Zuckerberg to unveil a slew of new products across smart glasses, headsets, and AI portfolios.

Meta's Connect website says the next two days will showcase “our latest breakthroughs in AI technologies, AI glasses and VR — designed to help you connect, create and do more of what you care about most.” Zuckerberg is slated to present the keynote at 7PM ET (4PM PT) later today, with developer talks and sessions scheduled for tomorrow.

Senior reporter Karissa Bell will report live from Meta's headquarters in Menlo Park, CA, joined by Devindra Hardawar. Meta already unveiled a new series of Meta Glasses earlier this year, but is expected to show off a camera-free pair today.

A new Quest XR/VR headset is also likely to get an update. Meta may unveil more products and unusual demos, with the liveblog beginning slightly before the keynote.
