Are AI Glasses the Next Smartphone Race?
The Meta Ray-Ban Display and rival devices may make personal AI agents a reality soon.
On September 30, Meta started selling its first artificial intelligence glasses with a built-in display, a futuristic device that attracted crowds outside its Burlingame, California, store.
The device features a small transparent display that shows users information such as text messages and map directions, while a wristband responds to slight hand movements to compose a text message or pick up a call.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg tried multiple times to pick up a WhatsApp video call from his CTO Andrew Bosworth during a fumbled live demo at Meta Connect on September 17.
Users can also interact by voice with the embedded Meta AI assistant.
The Meta Ray-Ban Display is priced at $799.
