Korea Economic Daily reports that Mark Zuckerberg will meet with LG Electronics CEO William Cho in South Korea on February 28 to discuss details of the partnership, including the joint development of a mixed reality headset to be released in the first half of 2025.
The news site writes that the companies are forming an “AI & Metaverse alliance,” which includes plans to incorporate Meta’s AI technology into LG products. It’s been ten years since Zuckerberg visited Korea, so the meeting is significant. The partnership could be announced on Wednesday.
According to the report, LG will contribute the hardware part and Meta will contribute the software and AI technology, with LG’s smart device operating system “WebOS” to be implemented in the headset.
WebOS sucks. The dream would be for valve to unfuck steamvr on Linux and literally anyone make a standalone that is just a computer stock with Linux of some sort but you can install whatever os you want because it’s just a computer like the steam deck or similar but in VR headset form.
Or for regular pcvr to be affordable. Once you get into all the trackers or lighthouses and compatibility you get to be broke and driven insane.
