Meta Platforms Inc. plans to enhance its Ray-Ban smart glasses by adding displays as soon as the second half of 2025, according to sources cited by the Financial Times. The new feature will allow the glasses to show notifications and interact with Meta's virtual assistant, marking a step closer to augmented reality. This move is part of an intensified competition in the smart glasses market, with Meta accelerating its development of the Orion prototype, aiming to compete with tech giants like Apple and Google. The Ray-Ban Meta Smart glasses have already set a benchmark for smart glasses with an AI-powered user experience focused on delivering relevant information rather than graphical interfaces.
