Meta is planning to add small displays to its Ray-Ban smart glasses, showing notifications or responses from its virtual assistant. This move accelerates Meta's push into wearable devices and the metaverse, competing with rivals like Apple, Google, and Snap. Meta's augmented-reality glasses prototype, Orion, is also under development after positive early tests and could be released in the coming years.
Meta plans to add displays to its Ray-Ban smart glasses as soon as next year, as the US tech giant accelerates its plans to build lightweight headsets that can usurp the smartphone as consumers’ main computing device. The $1.5tn social media group is planning to add a screen inside the $300 sunglasses it makes and sells in partnership with eyewear group EssilorLuxottica, according to people familiar with the plans.
With the Ray-Bans, “Meta proved that these lightweight glasses, even without a display, could be interesting and useful,” said Michael Miller, who leads on augmented reality hardware at Niantic, the developer of Pokémon Go and other AR games. Meta’s remains in the early days of experimenting what AR headsets might look like. Its Orion glasses are controlled by wristbands, which take signals from the body, including from the brain, in a neural interface.
