The company's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg described the future of Meta's glasses as one that will lead towards "superintelligence" -an expression he coined for the advanced AI, which is specifically designed to assist individuals rather than merely automate Meta wearable technology behind the scenes.

A Key Step Toward Everyday Meta AI Glasses

For Meta to add an LCD is a significant step. As time passes the glasses will assume the roles smartphones currently hold, giving users a hands-free method to handle their primary tasks.

Meta's Chief Technology Director Andrew Bosworth called the launch "the first truly innovative product" in this field. Bosworth said that although smartphones will never go away, Meta AR glasses such as those of the Ray-Ban Display allow people to "leave their smartphones in their pockets more often during the course of their day." providing convenience, without loss of functionality.

Competing in Consumer Tech

Since the release of the initial VR headset in the year 2016, Meta has been steadily creating its own hardware ecosystem, putting it against the giants of Apple as well as Google. Its Ray-Ban Display marks a major step towards this goal, mixing style with the latest AI technology to draw in people who are more mainstream.

A New Way to Control Tech

The AI integrated glasses also feature the brand different control method. Users are still able to swipe across the frame, however the main interface is now based on hand gestures that are detected via a brain-based wristband placed on the hand that is dominant.

Wearers can squeeze their thumb and finger to select and swipe across their palm to scroll or double-tap their thumbs to start Meta's virtual assistant. They can also turn their wrists to alter the volume of music or other options.
