Meta shows a new generation of smart glasses - now they have a screen
At the Meta Connect 2025 conference, Meta presented a new generation of smart glasses created in collaboration with Ray-Ban and Oakley. These devices combine stylish design with augmented reality (AR) functionality. As you can see, the company continues to develop its "meta-universe", no matter what sceptics say.
The new generation glasses have a built-in camera, voice control, speakers, and support for Meta's AI assistant, which can answer questions, translate conversations, describe the environment, and even help with navigation. They also have the ability to stream live video, which opens up new horizons for content makers.

Meta has paid special attention to integration with Instagram and Threads, allowing users to instantly share photos and videos directly from the glasses. The glasses can now display posts from these platforms on the internal display, eliminating the need for a smartphone. This is part of the company's strategy to create a more natural way to interact with digital content - without screens and keyboards.
Meta also hinted that in the future, the glasses could become part of a metaverse ecosystem where users can see digital objects, communicate with avatars, and interact with the virtual world in real space.
