Meta is significantly upgrading its Ray-Ban Display smart glasses, making hand gesture texting available to all users across WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and native mobile messaging apps. This advanced feature utilizes a neural wristband for gesture recognition.
Further enhancements include a 'display recording' capability, which captures a video integrating the lens display, the user's field of view, and surrounding audio. Walking directions are now accessible throughout the US and in major international cities. Live captioning is also being introduced for messaging platforms and voice messages.
Additionally, Meta has opened a developer preview for creating apps for the Ray-Ban Display, enabling developers to deploy web applications to the glasses.
