My colleague Pranav Dixit attended Meta Connect this week and he stopped by AI Insider to share his thoughts with newsletter subscribers. Here's how the Q&A went down, in longer form: What was your biggest surprise while at the event? The biggest surprise was how good Meta's upcoming VR glasses were. They're not coming out until spring 2027, and they'll cost around $1,300, so they're definitely not a mass-market product yet. But after spending about half an hour with them, I walked away really impressed. I watched 3D movies, played Beat Saber, and even paired the glasses with a laptop so I suddenly had three giant virtual monitors floating in front of me.
