Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will address the audience in two days about major updates to Meta’s billion-dollar metaverse project. This event will take place despite news that leaked Meta company memos revealed that even employees weren’t particularly excited about the project they were working on.
Metaverse on ‘Quality Lockdown’
The Verge is the first to report that memos have been sent to Meta employees asking them to spend more time in the metaverse. According to leaked memos, the Horizon Worlds team is being informed because it doesn’t visit the Meta metaverse often enough, even though it’s the product they’re working on.
Previous reports also indicate that the company is still working to resolve some quality issues. Vishal Shah, VP of Metaverse, informs his team via leaked memos that they will be in “quality lockout” for the rest of the year so that the issues can be resolved before more users can access the app.
Mark Zuckerberg could provide insight into what’s happening in the metaverse development right now, as well as his take on recent issues haunting the company in the Meta Connect, which will be streamed live on October 11. Earlier, the Meta CEO revealed on a Joe Rogan podcast that lighter headsets are being worked on. 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 they’ve made along the way, at the Meta Connect conference. The virtual event will reportedly feature key presenters who will discuss a variety of topics related to the digital platform.
According to Business Insider, Zuckerberg will discuss the VR developer ecosystem, progress to the metaverse, and “Project Cambria,” a new high-end mixed reality VR headset. As the company states, anyone with a Meta Quest 2 headset can register to participate in “Meta Horizon Worlds” virtually.
On the said date, the company will host a virtual conference for developers, creators, tech enthusiasts and others. Mark Zuckerberg’s talk on how a social metaverse augments physical experiences, allowing users to connect in “deeper, more meaningful ways” will be one of the highlights of the event.
Aside from bringing the world closer together, the metaverse promises a plethora of new business opportunities. The event will include conversations about how to capitalize on the opportunities of the metaverse and turn them into profitable businesses.

In-depth discussions on new products, tools and hardware will also be held during the event and later on-demand. According to Mark Zuckerberg, Meta is preparing something for its virtual reality headsets that will be available in October, as mentioned on a Joe Rogan Podcast.
The company’s next product will be launched later this year to bring the world a new VR headset experience that will give everyone access to the digital world.
