Summer days and outdoor adventures go hand in hand. You know what else goes alongside? A great pair of sunglasses to keep your eyes protected. A solid pair of sunglasses is just as important as high quality sunscreen. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can harm your eyes, and the tint of your lenses can make a much bigger difference than you might think. Different lens colors filter light in unique ways and can impact everything from eye health to depth perception. This means certain shades might be

Get $70 off Meta Ray-Bans and find discontinued styles - here's how

zdnet.com Jason Hiner 2025-10-21 12:10:29

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Meta Ray-Bans have often been very difficult to find in stock at both retailers and online stores for the past two years -- and they rarely go on sale. But one of the best ways to not only get a 20% discount but also find some of the styles that have been discontinued or are rarely ever in stock is to use the little-known Meta Refurbished AI Glasses online store. I recently ordered a pair of Meta Ray-Bans in the Skylar style with the Shiny Caramel finish with Polar Brown lens

We're talking, of course, about "mirror life" — synthetic organisms that quite literally turn natural biology on its head.

Rokid Glasses Hands-On: Smart Glasses, Buggy Voice Assistant

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-26 20:00:46

Smart glasses are an exciting idea right now. In theory, they’re a new gadget that does lots of the stuff that our phones do, but in an always-there form factor. They can take pictures, make calls, translate menus, and—if the tech and the investment get there—they might slap a screen right onto eyeballs for notifications, navigation, and maybe even augmented reality à la Pokémon Go. I say “in theory” because just because smart glasses can do all of those things on paper doesn’t mean they can do

‘Bubbles’ turn air into drinkable water

technologyreview.com Jennifer Chu 2025-10-27 03:00:00

COURTESY OF THE RESEARCHERS In the researchers’ prototype device, a half-square-meter panel of the hydrogel is enclosed in a glass chamber coated with a cooling polymer film. When the vapor captured by the textured material evaporates, the bubbles shrink down in an origami-like transformation. The vapor then condenses on the glass, where it can flow out through a tube. The system runs entirely on its own, unlike other designs that require batteries, solar panels, or electricity from the grid.

Meta Has Already Won the Smart Glasses Race

At Meta’s Q2 2025 earnings call at the end of July, Mark Zuckerberg didn’t hold back. “If you don’t have glasses that have AI,” he warned, “you’re probably going to be at a pretty significant cognitive disadvantage compared to other people.” Forget smartphones. According to Zuck, the real interface of the future is what’s sitting on your nose.

Meta’s First ‘Real’ Smart Glasses Have One Huge Problem

When Google Glass came stumbling onto the scene in 2013, people were taken aback. Not only did Google’s smart glasses, with their bordering-on-novel camera, present new and somewhat icky questions about personal privacy, but they also crossed an even more controversial line: they looked really, really dorky. Fast forward more than 10 years into the future, and all of those hangups (at least on the surface) seem to be in the rearview. Take Meta, for example. Sales of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses

Meta Wants to Make Its First AR Glasses With a Display as Cheap as a Flagship Phone

If there’s one thing that we’ve learned in the world of mixed reality over the past year, it’s that price is pretty much everything.

I mean, it’s not that there’s not a lot to love about the Vision Pro (the best UI in mixed reality and a premium display are particular highlights), but I bought my first used car for a price that wasn’t too far off, and that at least got me to work semi-on time.
