Meta Platforms Inc. ($META) is planning to enhance its Ray-Ban smart glasses by integrating displays as early as the second half of 2025, according to reports from the Financial Times. The new feature aims to show notifications and responses from Meta's virtual assistant, marking a step in the company's efforts to develop augmented reality (AR) devices. This move is part of Meta's broader strategy to challenge smartphones as the primary computing device for consumers, intensifying competition with tech giants like Apple and Google in the smart glasses market. The glasses are produced in partnership with eyewear group EssilorLuxottica. Meta has also accelerated the development of its Orion prototype, which hints at future advancements in AR technology.
