On the Meta Ray-Ban Display

  • They’re moving the smartwatch display to a monocular lens.
  • The neural wristband is as important and vital to the glasses as the display, if not more so.
  • This is a first step toward what was shown in the Project Orion demo.
  • This is not 3D or 6DOF, no obvious uses for games.
  • This is meant for displaying information and basic 2D interaction:
    • phone calls (audio/video)
    • photos
    • shortform video
    • notifications
    • messages
    • basic local navigation
  • This is definitely NOT an entertainment device.
  • Unlike the smartwatch, this is also probably not a health device (potential room for Apple here).
  • Meta remains one of the scummier conglomerates in Silicon Valley.
