Over the past few years, Meta has seen surprising success with its Ray-Ban smart glasses, as it features advanced AI-powered features and can be used for longer hours. However, tech giants like Samsung and Google also introduced the Android XR glasses, which come with a headset and will arrive in 2025. Therefore, to counter this rising competition, Meta is now reportedly planning to add a display to its next generation of smart glasses, which could be released next year.
Meta's new glasses may launch in 2025
A new report by The Financial Times suggests that the social media giant is working on adding a screen to its $300 smart glasses, which could be launched by the second half of 2025. The report further adds that this display will provide users with notifications and enable customised interactions with Meta’s AI, marking a significant upgrade from the earlier models.
This means that the new screen will support a variety of functionalities, including showing navigation directions, reading notifications from your phone, and more. Currently, Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glass has features like in-ear speakers, cameras, microphones, and AI assistant interactions, and was launched in September.
Meta also recently revealed its lightweight augmented reality (AR) glasses prototype, Orion, which has been appreciated by developers. Further, it is expected to move toward consumer release in the future years and has an impressive 70-degree field of view.
