L+R is pleased to announce that our team of strategists, designers, and engineers will be attending Meta Connect 2025, participating virtually in the pivotal two-day event on September 17-18. The attending group, including Founder and Director of Strategy Alex Levin, Director of Engineering Ivan Leider, Strategist Julia Keller, Designer Ben Weiyang Wu, and Engineers Kelvin Harron and Gautier de Lataillade, will immerse themselves in the dialogue defining the next era of computing, directly informing our leadership in Artificial Intelligence, Spatial Computing, and Strategy Consulting.
Our participation at Connect is a natural extension of our work within the Meta ecosystem. We work closely with Meta's technology, and our contributions include projects like Media View, the top open-source media viewer for the Meta Quest. This project showcases our team's deep engineering capabilities in the virtual reality space. Our R&D focus now extends to the emerging fields of AI Glasses and Mixed Reality, where we are actively exploring the next generation of user interfaces and real-world applications.
This year’s agenda signals a strategic focus on tangible developer outcomes. We are particularly interested in the deep-dive developer sessions on Generative AI tools and the Meta Horizon OS. Understanding these platforms is key to our work in Design and is critical for redefining modern Application Development. These new toolkits will also shape how we approach Branding & Design within the compelling creative canvases of these new immersive spaces.
A key highlight will be the “Spotlight conversation: the future of computing” with visionaries Michael Abrash and Richard Newcombe. Their discussion on contextual AI and the future of AI glasses provides a look beyond current product cycles and into the long-term vision for ambient computing. These are the foundational concepts that allow us to collaborate with business leaders to define and launch inspiring initiatives through our Strategy Consulting practice.
Our participation in Meta Connect ensures we can translate insight of these emerging technologies into trailblazing solutions for our partners across key sectors like Retail, Health Care, and Media & Entertainment. We look forward to helping our clients embrace the change ahead.
