The latest title in Activision’s Call of Duty franchise is set to be released on October 25th, along with day-one availability on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription plan. The main campaign of the new Black Ops 6 will be set in the early 1990s, at the end of the cold war.

Developed by Raven Software and Treyarch, the game will also include a multiplayer mode with 16 maps as well as a new “Zombies” experience.

Set after Black Ops Cold War, the main story includes flashbacks to Black Ops 2, along with highly immersive spy missions and government conspiracies.

In addition, Raven Software has added plenty of 90s tech and equipment, along with iconic characters like Frank Woods and Russell Adler.

For Zombie aficionados, the round-based mode returns to Black Ops 6, delivering waves of undead opponents for players to battle through. Two new maps will be available at launch, along with a mixture of weapons and upgrades.

meta reveals orion ar glasses offering a glimpse into the future

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has unveiled a working prototype of its augmented-reality glasses — named Orion — at its annual Connect conference. At the event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlined his vision to use the AR device to blend the real world with the virtual:

“This is the physical world with holograms overlaid on it,” Zuckerberg said as he slid the glasses from their metal case. Describing Orion as “a time machine” he added, “These glasses exist, they are awesome, and they are a glimpse of a future that I think is going to be pretty exciting”.

The Orion AR glasses are built from magnesium alloy and run on custom silicon chips developed by Meta. They offer users control via hand-tracking, voice commands, and a wrist-based neural interface. Zuckerberg said Meta plans to further refine the glasses, making them smaller, more affordable, and ready for mass production in the near future.

So far, sources have revealed that Meta aims to release its first consumer version of the Orion AR glasses by 2027, once the technology has become more cost-effective.

In addition to Orion, Meta introduced a more modest mixed-reality headset called the Quest 3S, with a starting price of $300. The company also rolled out several new AI tools, including chatbot updates and the ability for Meta AI to auto-insert personalized images into Facebook and Instagram feeds. An audio upgrade also allows users to choose celebrity voices, like Judi Dench or John Cena, for the Meta AI assistant. “I think voice is going to be a way more natural way of interacting with AI than text,” Zuckerberg said.

Finally, Meta has introduced three new versions of its Llama 3 AI models. The company continues to invest billions in AI and metaverse technologies, pushing its capital expenditure forecast for 2024 to a record $37-40 billion.
