"Meta has unveiled a new range of smart glasses powered by its artificial intelligence (AI) tech, as it expands its bet that they will be a must-have accessory for users around the world. At its annual developers conference "Meta Connect," the social media giant's boss, Mark Zuckerberg, announced an array of devices in partnership with sunglasses brands Ray-Ban and Oakley. The firm also introduced a so-called neural wristband that pairs with its Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses to allow users to carry out tasks like sending messages with small hand gestures."
"The Meta Ray-Ban Display comes with a full-colour high-resolution screen in one lens where users can conduct video calls and see messages. It also features a 12-megapixel camera. Mr Zuckerberg hopes Meta's line of smart accessories will be a key platform for integrating its artificial intelligence tool, Meta AI, into people's lives. Analysts say smart glasses are likely to be more successful than the firm's multi-billion dollar Metaverse project - virtual worlds to connect users across digital environments."
""Unlike VR headsets, glasses are an everyday, non-cumbersome form factor," said Forrester VP, Research Director Mike Proulx. But, he added, "the onus is on Meta to convince the vast majority of people who don't own AI glasses that the benefits outweigh the cost." Reuters The company said it does not discuss sales information but it is understood to have sold around two million pairs of smart glasses since it entered the market in 2023."

The Meta Ray-Ban Display features a full-colour high-resolution screen embedded in one lens for video calls and messages and includes a 12-megapixel camera. The neural wristband pairs with the Display to enable small-hand-gesture controls for tasks like sending messages. The Display will be available this month with a starting price of $799. The company has sold around two million pairs since entering the market in 2023. Analysts predict smart glasses may outpace the firm's Metaverse efforts but warn Meta must convince mainstream consumers the benefits justify the cost. The company faces scrutiny over product impact on children.
