"Mark Zuckerberg has figured out a way to get a phone on your face - by shrinking it down and cramming it into a pair of glasses. Does that sound good to you? If so, you'll be able to buy a pair in two weeks. They'll cost at least $800. I've gotten a brief test-drive with Meta's new Ray-Ban Display Glasses. They're fun because they're the kind of thing you've seen and read about in science fiction forever. Except now they're real, and they work."
"I'm also not sure how I would use them in real life after the novelty wears off. But I'm reasonably confident some people will be really into them. And while Meta is pitching this as something that you, a consumer, will want to buy, I think we're most likely to see this kind of tech worn by workers whose bosses require it. Think about cops, soldiers, factory workers, or anyone whose job makes it difficult for them to look down at their phone"
Meta and Ray‑Ban released Display Glasses that embed a small electronic screen into the right lens to display texts, maps, video calls, and other content. The glasses function like a shrunken phone worn on the face but require a paired phone to operate and start at roughly $800. The Display Glasses build on earlier Meta x Ray‑Ban smartglasses that handle photos, videos, calls, music, and Meta AI access. These Display Glasses are less advanced than Meta's Orion prototype but are manufacturable and sellable now. The tech may appeal to some consumers and likely to workers who need hands‑free information access.
