Overview

- Meta cites extremely limited inventory for the $799 heads-up-display glasses and says U.S. demand has exceeded forecasts.
- Sales remain restricted to select U.S. retailers by appointment-only demos, which has contributed to long queues.
- At CES, Meta announced a teleprompter view in the lens and EMG handwriting via the Neural Band, plus expanded pedestrian navigation to Denver, Las Vegas, Portland and Salt Lake City.
- Partner EssilorLuxottica has moved to boost production capacity as Meta re-evaluates its international rollout strategy.
