It looks like Meta is getting ready to add displays to its popular line of Ray-Ban smart glasses. . These screens may appear in a future version of the device as early as next year. The probable release period is the second half of 2025.
The screens will be smaller and will likely be used to display notifications or responses from Meta's AI-powered virtual assistant, according to people familiar with Meta's plans. It's unlikely that the company plans to make this a full-fledged mixed reality device just yet.
For this Meta has which is still a few years away. The same report indicated that the positive reaction to the Orion glasses likely accelerated development and may have ensured commercial release. It was unclear whether the glasses would remain their own prototype.
Ray-Ban smart glasses have been a surprise hit for Meta. . They look great and perform great. The current model includes in-ear speakers, cameras, microphones, and access to the Meta virtual assistant.
I really like the simplicity of the current design, especially when shooting photos and videos. I hope screens don't get in the way of that simplicity, and that they don't come at the expense of, say, improvements to the camera system.
At the end of the day, Ray-Ban Meta glasses are the perfect device for taking quick photos of your pet. Have you ever tried to get an animal to stay calm so you can take your phone out of your bag and take a photo? These damn cuties never do that. Ray-Ban solves this problem.
