Social Media Group Introduces spectacles Equipped with Integrated Displays
In a groundbreaking move, meta, the parent company of Facebook, is set to launch the meta Ray-Ban Display - a pair of smart glasses that promise to revolutionise the way we communicate. The glasses, which will be available in the US from late September, will display text messages, photos, and videos directly in one of its lenses.
During the unveiling at meta Connect, CEO Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated the control of the meta Ray-Ban Display by writing letters on a surface with his fingers, which were then converted into words in a text message using a wristband. The display integrated into the right lens of the glasses has a resolution of 600 by 600 pixels, offering a clear and crisp viewing experience.
Meta claims a battery life of up to six hours for the meta Ray-Ban Display. However, the functionality of these glasses in everyday life remains uncertain, as demonstrated difficulties were observed during video calls and AI guidance.
The starting price for the meta Ray-Ban Display is $799. While the glasses worn by Zuckerberg on the meta Connect stage are bulkier than typical frames and stand out with noticeably thicker temples, meta has not yet provided any information about the availability of the meta Ray-Ban Display outside of the US.
It's worth noting that meta's glasses are not the only ones in development. Apple is reportedly working on a similar technology, but has only released a headset that displays environment and digital content. Google has shown prototypes of a similar pair of glasses, but release details are not available. The main competitors for the meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses are these similar smart glasses from Google and the ones being developed by Apple.
The meta Ray-Ban Display is controlled by a wristband capable of detecting even the smallest movements. With the meta Ray-Ban Display, meta is taking a significant step towards merging the digital and physical worlds, offering a sneak peek into what the future of wearable technology might look like.
