Bad Luck for Zuckerberg: Why Meta Connect's Live Demos Flopped

This week's Meta Connect smart glasses event was, let's admit it, a little cringeworthy. Or at least I cringed when two of Meta's live demos epically failed.

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Hands-On: You Can Forget About Gen 1 Now

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-21 09:22:29

Smart glasses with displays in them may be the future, but for now, Meta seems to understand that not everyone is willing to spend $800 on a pair. And for those people, it now has Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), a sequel to its surprisingly popular AI and camera-equipped smart glasses, which are designed in tandem with EssilorLuxottica, the owner of the eyewear brand.

When Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta's latest smart glasses at the company's Connect 2025 keynote, he encountered two glitches that prevented him from properly demonstrating some of the devices' features.

I've been testing smart glasses for almost a decade. And in that time, one of the questions I've been asked the most is "oh, but can you see anything in them?" For years, I had to explain that no, glasses like that don't really exist yet. That's no longer the case. And while I've seen a bunch of glasses over the last year that have some kind of display, the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses feel the closest to fulfilling what so many people envision when they hear the words "smart glasses."
