At its Menlo Park, California-based headquarters, CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled Meta’s first consumer-ready smart glasses with a built-in display.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a bold claim on the social media giant’s earnings call in July. Answering a question from an analyst, he said people without smart glasses may one day be at a “significant cognitive disadvantage” compared to those who do use the tech.
Meta is expected to double down on AI-powered augmented reality products with new smart glasses at its annual Connect event on Wednesday, even as the company faces scrutiny over its handling of child safety on its social media platforms.
"They are AI-powered smart glasses designed to give people who are blind or low-vision hands-free access to information," a spokesperson told Newsweek.
Mark Zuckerberg believes smart glasses will replace phones as the next major tech platform, with Meta's new AI-powered Ray-Ban models leading the way.
