【Meta launches new virtual reality headset, enters the metaverse】 September 26, according to the New York Times, Meta released a series of new products at an event at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California on Wednesday, including an updated, low-cost Quest 3S virtual reality headset and a series of enhancements to its artificial intelligence assistant Meta AI.The updates will bring a series of celebrity voices to the company's artificial intelligence assistant - including Awkwafina, John Cena and Dame Judi Dench - who will respond when users ask questions. The assistant is integrated into most of Meta's mainstream applications, including Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook.The new products are Zuckerberg's attempt to combine his vision for social networks with the possibilities of current technology. Although Meta has achieved some success in selling virtual reality headsets and Ray-Ban augmented reality glasses have unexpectedly sold well, Zuckerberg's vision of the metaverse is still years away from realization. Meta has invested nearly $50 billion in its Reality Labs division (the part of the company that does hardware business) over the past few years. The division will not be profitable in the short term. In addition, Meta's expansion into artificial intelligence and data centers is becoming increasingly expensive.
