gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-24 21:27:06

Meta’s Ray-Bans are back with a new generation, and this time they’re finally giving people the one thing they really want—a screen. At Meta’s annual Connect developer conference, the company officially took the wraps off its Meta Ray-Ban Display, which are, as the name suggests, its first pair of AI-infused smart glasses to come with a full-color in-lens display. The smart glasses, which still bear the same Ray-Ban branding, will cost $799 and are available for preorder today. As you might exp

Meta Ray-Ban Display Hands-On: The Smart Glasses You Were Waiting For

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-24 21:27:55

There’s one thing people want to know when they see my first-gen Ray-Ban smart glasses, and it’s got nothing to do with AI, or cameras, or the surprisingly great open-ear audio they put out. They want to know what’s probably front-of-mind right now as you’re reading this: Do they have a screen in them? The answer? Sadly, no… until now. At Meta Connect 2025, Meta finally unveiled its Ray-Ban Display smart glasses that, as you may have gathered from the name, have a screen in them. It doesn’t sou

I Wore Meta's New Ray-Ban Display Glasses and Neural Band. I Feel Augmented

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-24 21:21:00

As soon as I saw someone wearing Meta's new AR glasses for the first time, I knew they looked different. Thicker than regular Meta Ray-Bans, they reminded me of something filmmaker Martin Scorsese would wear. They were stylish, with a sort of translucent-ish brown frame. I also noticed its sidekick, the ribbed fabric wristband, but only because I was looking for it. The new Meta's Ray-Ban Display Glasses are very real. They go on sale Sept. 30 for $799.

Meta Goes Even Harder Into Smart Glasses With 3 New Models

It takes time to realize you don’t have to hold your hand out in front of you for these gestures to be recognized, but a surprisingly short amount of time to find yourself using them with very little second thought. Of course talking to Meta AI remains a key way of interacting with the glasses, but Meta hopes that adding the visual elements will enhance the chatbot experience. For example, live speech captioning and language translation is still switched on by voice—but with Meta Ray-Ban Displa

Mark Zuckerberg mostly uses the new Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses to send text messages. Lots of them. He has been wearing the glasses around the office, firing off WhatsApp pings to his execs throughout the day. “I run the company through text messages,” he tells me recently. “Mark is our number one heaviest user,” Alex Himel, the company’s head of wearables, confirms.

Kleiner Perkins-backed voice AI startup Keplar aims to replace traditional market research

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-09-25 17:54:17

For decades, Fortune 500 companies had to hire market research firms to get meaningful insights into customer satisfaction. These services come with a hefty price tag and often take weeks to complete. Keplar, a market research startup, uses voice AI to conduct customer interviews, providing clients with analysis much faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional research consulting firms.

Not even your kitchen is safe from ads after Samsung’s new update for its refrigerators

TL;DR Samsung is allegedly rolling out a new software update for some of its smart refrigerators. The update adds advertisements to the display on the refrigerator door on certain themes. The changelog frames the ads as a feature, but users can avoid them by selecting specific ad-free themes — for now. Imagine paying top dollar for a brand-new high-end refrigerator only to be greeted with ads on the door display. Sounds like a nightmare? Unfortunately, this nightmare is coming true for Samsun

Wacom has announced its latest beginner-friendly graphics tablet, the Wacom One 14. The obvious upgrade from its 2023 predecessor is a larger 14-inch IPS display, which gives digital artists a bit of extra space for their sketching. The bezels have been trimmed down to accommodate the bigger canvas, while keeping the design thin and compact enough to easily throw the Wacom One in a backpack.

No, Nintendo and Pokémon did not patent ‘summoning characters and making them battle’

As first noted by Games Fray last week, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company were granted a US patent earlier this month involving summoning characters and making them battle. Headlines popped up with similarly vague language as concern spread on social media: That’s a thing in tons of games! Can they do that? Is that even allowed? Well, no, because that’s not exactly what they patented. And what they did patent might not stand up to any hypothetical challenges in court. The patent in question, US
