Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are being opened to third-party developers so they can create display-enabled apps and use the Neural Band controller. The platform supports apps that include an accompanying iOS or Android mobile app and also supports web apps. The display has a 20-degree field of view, so experiences are aimed at monocular use cases such as information overlays and glanceable references. Meta shared examples including an interactive film development guide called “Darkroom Buddy.” Developers are encouraged to build micro-apps such as streaming media, real-time data displays like scores or status updates, and possible minigames including chess, snake, and brick-breaker style games.
"Meta is opening up the glasses to third-party developers, who are now able to experiment with display-enabled apps as well as the device's Neural Band controller. The platform will work with apps that have an accompanying iOS or Android mobile app and will also be compatible with web apps, the company said in an update."
"With a 20-degree field-of-view, the glasses' display isn't totally immersive like other standalone AR glasses. And it sounds like Meta is looking for apps that would be well-suited to the monocular display like "information overlays." For example, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth shared a video of one early app called "Darkroom Buddy," an interactive guide for developing film that could serve as a "glanceable" reference."
"Meta is also suggests that developers can build experiences for streaming media, "real-time data displays, like scores or status updates" and other kidneys of "micro-apps." The company is also apparently considering minigames. A video shared by Meta also includes a few such examples, like chess, snake and a brick breaker-style game."
