Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has been silently gearing up for the future of smartphones by focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) technology. The company has recently made strategic moves such as hiring an Apple AI executive and acquiring AI startup, PlayAI, to enhance its AI capabilities for XR devices.
Will XR Replace Smartphones?
Meta's latest offering, the Meta Quest 3, along with other similar XR devices, promises affordability, power, and a wide range of content for users.
Additionally, Meta is rumored to be developing the Orion smart glasses, hinting at the company's exploration of AR glasses as potential replacements for traditional smartphones.
Competitors like Apple and Samsung are also making strides in the XR and AR space with products like the Apple Vision Pro and Samsung's Project Moohan, signaling a shift towards a future where AR glasses could redefine the smartphone experience.
