2025年Meta Connect大会前瞻:智能眼镜与AI技术引领元宇宙新浪潮

Meta宣布将于9月17日至18日举办年度Connect大会,本届活动将首次采用全新议程安排。首席执行官马克·扎克伯格将于太平洋时间17日下午5点进行主题演讲,次日上午10点由高管团队带来开发者主题演讲。

本次大会三大看点值得关注:

一、革命性智能眼镜即将面世
代号"Hypernova"的智能眼镜将成为Meta首款搭载显示功能的消费级产品。该眼镜单侧配备微型显示屏,可查看通知及照片预览,需配合专用腕带通过手势进行操作。据悉该产品可能命名为"Celeste",定价约800美元,或将与普拉达达成品牌合作,定位高端市场。同时Meta还将推出无显示功能的雷朋联名升级款智能眼镜,配备增强摄像功能与续航能力。

二、人工智能战略全面升级
Meta将公布AI领域最新进展,其语音助手月活用户已突破10亿。除提升现有应用体验外,公司正在开发多语种角色驱动型聊天机器人。扎克伯格或将阐述"超级智能"愿景,并回应关于Llama大模型研发受阻及开源策略调整的行业关切。

三、元宇宙生态持续演进
尽管VR硬件暂无更新计划,但Meta将展示Horizon Worlds元宇宙软件的升级功能,包括AI驱动的非玩家角色系统。值得关注的是,华硕、联想等第三方厂商搭载Meta Horizon系统的VR头显即将面世,其中华硕ROG系列预计将支持眼动及面部追踪功能。此外,Meta可能推出适配现有设备的简化版全息虚拟形象技术。

本届大会将于Meta总部举行,科技媒体Engadget将进行全程直播报道。

Meta Connect 2025前瞻:"超新星"智能眼镜、AI与元宇宙盛宴
Meta首款带显示功能的智能眼镜预计将于今年晚些时候上市。

Meta年度盛会Connect即将揭幕,这场专注于AR、VR、人工智能与元宇宙的发布会将于数日后举行。智能眼镜与人工智能技术有望再度成为本届焦点。

今年活动形式将略有革新。马克·扎克伯格将于太平洋时间9月17日周三下午5点以晚间主题演讲揭幕,次日(9月18日)上午10点由其他高管进行开发者主题演讲,随后还将举办多场技术讲座与开发者分会。

虽然Meta未说明今年调整形式的原因,但本届Connect注定精彩纷呈。预计将发布两款新型智能眼镜(包括Meta首款带显示屏机型),以及Meta AI和元宇宙功能更新。Engadget将全程直播扎克伯格在Meta总部的主题演讲,在此之前让我们先睹为快。

新一代智能眼镜
本届最受瞩目的当属Meta新一代智能眼镜。这款内部代号"Hypernova"的框架设备,将成为Meta首款面向消费者量产的带显示屏智能眼镜。经过一年多的消息泄露,其细节已基本明朗。

虽然镜片配备小型显示屏,但无法实现Orion原型机那样的沉浸式增强现实体验,主要支持通知提醒和照片预览功能。眼镜将配套专用腕带(类似Orion演示版本),通过手势识别实现特定功能控制。

这款可能正式命名为"Celeste"的眼镜预计售价800美元,或与普拉达联名发售——这符合Meta与依视路陆逊梯卡的长期合作模式。相较于售价约300美元的雷朋联名款,新品显然定位更高端的小众市场。分析师郭明錤预测Hypernova在智能眼镜市场的份额将"微乎其微"。

此外Meta可能同步推出无显示屏的新版雷朋智能眼镜。泄露设计图显示将包含墨镜与透明框两种版本,据称配备升级摄像头、延长续航时间并支持新AI功能。

第三方眼镜整合也值得关注。UploadVR指出开发者会议日程暗示Meta将开放智能眼镜开发权限。目前雷朋与Oakley联名款主要限于Meta生态应用(除Spotify和Audible等少数例外),开放更多开发者实验可能为现有产品线注入新功能。

人工智能布局
与往年相同,AI仍将是核心议题。Meta AI月活用户已突破10亿(扎克伯格势必会强调此数据),预计将展示适用于智能眼镜及内部应用的新功能。据Business Insider报道,公司正开发非英语版本的"角色驱动"聊天机器人。(值得注意的是,出于安全考虑,Meta已限制青少年访问多数用户生成的角色聊天机器人)

除聊天机器人外,扎克伯格或进一步阐述构建"超级智能"的愿景。其七月发布的宣言曾引发困惑,而近期Meta已重组AI团队围绕该理念开展研究,并不惜重金招募高管与研究人员。

与此同时,扎克伯格可能借Connect活动重振市场对Llama模型的期待。原定推出的Llama 4大模型已被延期,据悉Meta工程师正全力突破技术瓶颈。另有迹象表明其可能逐步放弃AI开源路线。

元宇宙新动态
尽管元宇宙近年让位于AI技术,VR相关消息仍是Connect的保留环节。Meta CTO安德鲁·博斯沃思近期在Instagram暗示将发布Horizon Worlds的"元宇宙软件"更新。公司已向开发者预览了AI驱动NPC融入元宇宙的计划,生成式AI如何塑造元宇宙生态值得期待。

虽无新款Quest头显发布,但搭载Meta VR软件的第三方设备或有新消息。去年宣布的华硕、联想与Xbox合作开发Meta Horizon OS头显项目,近日泄露显示华硕可能首发搭载面部与眼球追踪功能的设备。

另一值得关注的可能是全息Codec虚拟形象技术升级。虽然现有Quest头显缺乏配套传感器,但UploadVR推测Meta可能展示适用于Quest 3的简化版本,甚至支持WhatsApp和Messenger视频通话的虚拟形象功能。

What to expect at Meta Connect 2025: 'Hypernova' smart glasses, AI and the metaverse
Meta's smart glasses with a display are expected to go on sale later this year.
Meta Connect, the company's annual event dedicated to all things AR, VR, AI and the metaverse is just days away. And once again, it seems like it will be a big year for smart glasses and AI.
This year, the event will take a slightly different format than in the past. Mark Zuckerberg is scheduled to kick things off with an evening keynote at 5PM PT on Wednesday, September 17. A developer keynote with other executives will take place the next morning on September 18, beginning at 10AM, with more talks and developer sessions to follow.
It's not clear why Meta changed things up this year, but it is shaping up to be a particularly eventful year for Connect. We're expecting two new models of smart glasses, including Meta's first to have a display, as well as new Meta AI and metaverse updates. As usual, Engadget will be reporting live from Zuckerberg's keynote at Meta HQ, but until then, here's a closer look at what's coming and what to keep an eye on.
New and updated smart glasses
The biggest news of the day will be Meta's next-generation of smart glasses. The frames, often referred to by their reported internal name "Hypernova," will be the first consumer-ready glasses from Meta that have a display. We already know quite a bit about these thanks to more than a year of leaks.
While the frames are expected to have a small display on one side, they won't offer the kind of immersive augmented reality experience we've seen on Meta's Orion prototype. Instead the display will allow you to view things like notifications and photo previews. The glasses will also come with a dedicated wristband, similar to what the company showed off with Orion, that allows the wearer to control specific features through hand gestures.
The glasses, which may officially be called "Celeste," are expected to go on sale later this year, will likely cost around $800. They could be sold with Prada branding, which would be in line with Meta's longtime EssilorLuxottica partnership, according to CNBC. Given the much higher price tag — most of Meta's Ray-Ban-branded glasses cost around $300 — it seems Meta is positioning this as a higher-end product that will have a more limited appeal. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested Hypernova will have a "negligible" share of the overall smart glasses market.
It also sounds like we could see a new version of Meta's smart glasses without a display with an updated version of the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. There could be two versions for sunglasses and clear frames, according to leaked renders. The new glasses are reported to have improved cameras and battery life, and support new AI capabilities.
We could also see new third-party glasses integrations. As UploadVR recently pointed out, early versions of the Connect schedule for developers seemingly confirms that Meta is getting ready to give developers access to its smart glasses. Up to now, the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley glasses have mostly been limited to apps within Meta's ecosystem (with a few exceptions like Spotify and Audible). Allowing more developers to start experimenting with the platform could bring even more functionality to the existing lineup of glasses.
Meta AI
As with other recent years, AI will be a major theme throughout. Meta AI has a billion monthly users (something Zuckerberg will surely remind us of) and I'm expecting to see new features for Meta AI both on the company's glasses and within its apps. Business Insider reports the company has been working on new lineup of non-English speaking "character-driven" bots for its apps. (Meta's character-centric chatbots have also faced scrutiny, with the company recently blocking teens' access to many user-generated characters amid growing safety concerns.)
Outside of Meta's chatbots, I'm hoping Zuckerberg will talk more about his vision to create "superintelligence." As I wrote in July, his initial manifesto that outlined his vision was confusing at best. The CEO has recently reorganized Meta's AI teams around the idea, and has been on a very expensive hiring spree to recruit executives and researchers for the effort.
At the same time, Zuckerberg could use Connect to shore up expectations around its Llama models. The company's larger Llama 4 model has been delayed and reports suggest Meta's engineers have been struggling to improve it. There are other signs that Zuckerberg may be backing away from open-source AI.
What about the metaverse?
While the metaverse has taken somewhat of a backseat to AI in recent years, it wouldn't be Connect without some VR-related news. In a recent Instagram post, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth teased "metaverse software" updates related to Horizon Worlds at Connect. The company recently offered a preview to developers of its plan to bring AI-powered NPCs to the metaverse, and I expect we'll hear more about how generative AI could help shape the metaverse.
And while there are no new Quest headsets expected, we could hear more about those third-party VR headsets that will run Meta's VR software. Last year, the company announced that ASUS, Lenovo and Xbox were working on Meta Horizon OS headsets. We haven't heard too much about these devices since, but there was a leak earlier this year that suggested ASUS would be the first to launch, and that it would include face and eye tracking features.
NEW: Details on the upcoming ASUS ROG VR headset running Meta Horizon OS.
It is codenamed Tarius, and will likely be one of the first 3P Horizon OS HMDs to ship.
It is planned to include Eye Tracking and Face Tracking. The displays will be QD-LCD with local dimming or µOLED. pic.twitter.com/K5pYxcBK4h— Luna (@Lunayian) January 12, 2025
Another intriguing possibility is an update on Meta's holographic Codec avatars we got a glimpse of last year. While Meta's current lineup of VR headsets don't have the necessary face and eye-tracking sensors to support the tech, UploadVR suggests Meta could show off a more "rudimentary" version of the avatars that could run on the Quest 3 or even work in conjunction with video calls on WhatsApp and Messenger.
