Hi everyone!
This is a huge revolution for the Ray-Ban Meta series. Not just about adding a screen, it’s about introducing a whole new way to interact. (And have you noticed the change in the naming order for Meta and Ray-Ban? :)
The new Meta Ray-Ban Display has an in-lens screen, but the real star is the Meta Neural Band. It's a wristband, kind of like a screenless Fitbit, that uses EMG technology to read the neural signals between your brain and hand. This lets you control the glasses with subtle, silent hand gestures.
We first saw this neural band with Meta's Orion prototype last year. While this isn't the full AR experience of Orion, it's without a doubt the most advanced pair of smart glasses on the market today. This silent, gestural control is the key. I think it's going to create a whole new interaction paradigm for AI glasses.
Meta also released the Oakley Meta Vanguard (sports glasses for cycling) and the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2).
@sseishunn The dream is frameless Lol
This is actually awesome! finally intelligent glasses that look like a natural evolution and not a gimmick. The EMG wristband interface is pure genius, being able to scroll and interact with subtle finger movements instead of voice commands or tapping the frames is a public use game-changer. At $799 it's not cheap, but having a headsup display for navigation, messaging, and realtime language translation and still retaining that legendary Ray-Ban look? This could be the smart glasses tipping point to acceptance in mainstream. Can't wait to see 'writing in air' in action!
I have a question that must be on everyone's lips who are over 45 years: how will we be able to see that display?! Surely it is so close to the eyes - even for people with 20/20 vision - that it will appear out of focus?
