Meta's new Ray-Ban Display glasses paired with the Neural Band introduce a shift in human-AI interaction — using EMG tech to detect electrical signals at the wrist, enabling users to control interfaces through subtle gestures.
Meta's unexpected success with Ray-Ban Meta glasses revealed that consumers are already embracing smart glasses as a computing platform, accelerating the timeline for AI-powered eyewear to challenge and potentially replace smartphones.
Meta's new Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses integrate directly with Garmin and Strava to deliver real-time AI responses through audio — tracking heart rate, pace, and performance metrics while athletes train.
As Meta builds toward AI glasses that capture everything we see, hear, and even think via neural signals, fundamental questions emerge about preserving humanity — especially as devices become universal for the next-gen growing up with ambient AI.
