At the recent Meta Connect event, Mark Zuckerberg introduced the new Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses, priced at $799, which incorporate a color AR display and an AI assistant. However, the live demonstrations faced significant setbacks, with Zuckerberg attributing the failures to poor wifi connectivity. Despite the rocky start, some early testers claimed the glasses work surprisingly well and represent a leap into the future of wearable technology. The event showcased other innovations, including an EMG wristband to control the glasses and a performance-oriented variant aimed at athletes, the Oakley Meta Vanguard. With mixed reviews and a clear intent to challenge dominant smartphone usage, Meta is positioning these smart glasses as a potential game changer in the tech landscape.
