Facebook recently announced that they are going to launch their FaceBook Connect AR/VR showcase on October 28 this year.
Facebook Connect is where the company traditionally makes big announcements related to its AR and VR tools. Last year, Facebook unveiled its Quest 2 VR headsets, while it also provided more detail on its Project Aria AR wearables project. In 2019, Facebook detailed its advances in hand tracking technology for more immersive VR experiences, while it also shared the first glimpses of its Horizon VR social world.

With Facebook close to launching the first iteration of its AR glasses (which it’s now calling smart glasses, as they won’t have full AR functionality), VR continues to see strong take-up, particularly as people seek alternative entertainment options amid ongoing COVID restrictions.
Facebook sees massive potential in AR and VR connection, with the company publishing a report in June which indicated that 75 per cent of all business owners will be utilising AR and VR technology in the next two years, while global spending on AR and VR is set to rise 6x in the same time frame.
Given this, the 2021 Connect Conference could play host to some significant announcements, aligned with this major shift, which may well end up impacting every aspect of Facebook and Instagram usage.
