As we gear up for Meta Connect 2025, there’s a buzz of excitement regarding new virtual reality and smart glasses. While many had anticipated the Meta Quest 4 to debut, recent reports suggest it may not be unveiled until 2027. However, the prospect of a groundbreaking VR headset from Asus could potentially fill this gap.

Last year, Meta teamed up with Asus ROG to create a “performance gaming headset.” The Asus ROG VR headset, codenamed “Tarius,” aims to be the first third-party device running on Meta’s Horizon OS. If Meta’s anticipated VR announcements are delayed, Asus might step in to showcase innovative offerings at the event.

Insider tipster Luna recently revealed that the Asus ROG headset is expected to feature advanced eye-tracking and face-tracking technology, alongside either QD-LCD or micro-OLED displays. This positions it as a premium option in the evolving VR market, promising enhanced user experiences and immersion.

In addition to potential VR unveilings, recent leaks from Meta’s YouTube channel hint at the “Ray-Ban Meta Display” smart glasses. These next-gen glasses supposedly embody a blend of style and technology, featuring a display on the right lens for functional features like navigation and text inputs via the sEMG wristband.

Rumors suggest that Meta will introduce at least three new smart glasses models, including the Ray-Ban Meta Generation 3 specs, new Oakley Meta Sphaera sports glasses, and the innovative Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses. This diverse lineup indicates Meta’s commitment to expanding its smart eyewear portfolio.

As Meta Connect 2025 approaches, the anticipation is palpable. The event is set to commence at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET), where CEO Mark Zuckerberg will showcase the latest developments in smart glasses and possibly unveiling the much-anticipated Asus ROG “Tarius” VR headset.

Viewers can watch the live stream on Facebook or via Meta Horizon on Quest headsets. Although a YouTube stream hasn’t been established yet, updates will be shared to keep followers informed. Meta Connect promises a thrilling showcase of technology that merges fashion and functionality, redefining how we interact with our environment.
