Meta Reportedly Planning Display Upgrade for Ray-Ban Smart Glasses by 2025
The new feature could display notifications and AI responses, marking a step toward more advanced augmented reality capabilities.
- Meta is reportedly planning to add small displays to its Ray-Ban smart glasses, enabling users to view notifications and interact with Meta's AI virtual assistant directly through the lenses.
- The updated glasses are expected to launch in the second half of 2025, with the displays initially supporting simple text and image functionality.
- This development builds on Meta's broader ambition to create lightweight augmented reality devices that could eventually replace smartphones as primary computing tools.
- Challenges for the new design include balancing battery life, performance, and maintaining the sleek aesthetic of the glasses while adding new hardware.
- Meta’s high-end Orion AR glasses, which feature advanced holographic displays, remain in development but have influenced the design direction for the Ray-Ban glasses.
