Meta Connect 2024 had a fun but predictable itinerary: its budget Quest 3S headset, AI tricks, new VR games, and a snazzy new AR glasses prototype. But we also predicted (and hoped) that third-party Meta Horizon OS headsets would appear on stage. They were a no-show, so we asked Mark Rabkin, Meta VP of MR/VR, why.
Months of leaks made it obvious that the Meta Quest 3S would show up at Meta Connect 2024, and Meta itself hinted at its Meta Orion AR glasses in the months prior. Our Meta Connect 2024 preview promised they would both get long-awaited reveals.
