Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will address the public in two days about important updates to Meta's billion-dollar metaverse project. This event will take place despite news that leaked Meta company memos revealed that even employees were not particularly enthusiastic about the project they were working on.
Metaverse on 'Quality Lockdown"
The Verge is the first to report that memos were sent to Meta employees requesting that they spend more time in the metaverse. According to leaked memos, the Horizon Worlds team is being briefed for not visiting Meta's metaverse frequently enough, even though this is the product they are working on.
Previous reports also indicate that the company is still working to resolve a number of quality issues. Vishal Shah, VP of Metaverse, informs his team through leaked memos that they will be in "quality lockdown" for the remainder of the year so that the problems can be resolved before more users gain access to the app.
Mark Zuckerberg could provide insights into what is happening now in the metaverse development as well as his opinion on recent issues hounding the company in the Meta Connect, which will be live streamed on Oct. 11. Previously, the Meta CEO revealed on a Joe Rogan podcast that lighter headsets are in the works. This year's Meta Connect may provide a glimpse of that.
Meta Connect Details
The people behind the company will share the process of building the metaverse, as well as the many collaborations that they have made along the way, at the Meta Connect conference. The virtual event is reported to feature key presenters who will discuss a variety of topics related to the digital platform.
As per Business Insider, Zuckerberg will discuss the VR developer ecosystem, progress toward the metaverse, and "Project Cambria," a new high-end VR headset with mixed reality. As stated by the company, anyone with a Meta Quest 2 headset can register to participate virtually in "Meta Horizon Worlds."
On the said date, the company will host a virtual conference for developers, creators, tech enthusiasts, and others. Mark Zuckerberg's address on how a social metaverse is additive to physical experiences, allowing users to connect in "deeper, more meaningful ways," will be one of the event's highlights.
Aside from bringing the world closer together, the metaverse promises a plethora of new business opportunities. The event will include talks on how to capitalize on the metaverse's opportunities and turn them into profitable businesses.

The company's next product will launch later this year to bring the world a new VR headset experience that would give everyone a chance to access the digital world.
