Meta's smart glasses plans were already one of the worst kept secrets, as there have been more than a year of leaks and reports about its work to add a heads-up display to the product. Now, just days before their unveiling at Connect, a promotional video of the new frames seems to have leaked. The video, reported and reposted by UploadVR, shows the new "Meta Ray-Ban Display" frames as well as a new model of camera-enabled Oakley sunglasses.

We might only be days away from Meta’s next pair of smart glasses, but there’s still time for one last leak—and this one is a doozy. Meta’s smart glasses, which are expected to roll out this week during Meta’s Connect conference, will likely bear Ray-Ban branding after all, and we may have just gotten a very official look. An unlisted video spotted on Meta’s YouTube channel and first reported on by UploadVR seems to confirm a lot of what we expected about Meta’s next pair of smart glasses. The

Snap is upgrading the software that powers its augmented reality glasses as it gets ready for the first non-developer version of its "Specs" next year. The latest update to Snap OS includes an improved web browser, as well as the ability to browse Spotlight videos in AR. The company has long said that one of its goals for AR glasses is to enable people to spend less time staring at their phones.

Snap OS 2.0 is a small step towards AR glasses you might actually wear

Last September, Snap revealed its fifth-generation Spectacles, upgraded AR glasses with a twist: they were only ever released to developers. One year later, we still haven’t seen even a glimpse of the consumer-ready version of those glasses, which the company still says is coming in 2026, but Snap is ready to show off Snap OS 2.0, a software update to those developer Spectacles that signals its plans for mainstream AR.

Strength Reading glasses typically range from +0.25 to +2.50 diopters (the unit of measurement for eye prescriptions), though the average starting strength is usually around +0.75.

The Incredible Part of Meta's Next Smart Glasses Could Be on Your Wrist

A year ago I test-drove Meta's next-generation concept AR glasses, called project Orion, in a room on the company's campus in Menlo Park, California. They incorporated 3D displays and a wireless processor puck, but what wowed me was the futuristic neural wristband I wore to control them. Meta's research in EMG -- electromyography, or sensing muscle impulses via electrical signals using wearable sensors -- is becoming a reality. I expect Meta to release that neural band as an accessory to a new

The iPhone Air Looks Like a Wild Preview for Apple AR Glasses

Apple had a lot of announcements this week, but arguably none was bigger (and paradoxically thinner) than the iPhone Air. For one, there’s the fact that this is Apple’s first-ever phone with “Air” branding, marking a rare new category of iPhone, both present and future. Then, there’s the fact that the iPhone Air is very slim—5.64mm to be exact.
