I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Meta’s new smart glasses with a display, appropriately dubbed the Meta Ray-Ban Display. In fact, just 30 minutes before typing this, I was fielding questions about how they looked, what they did, and my personal thoughts from an interested individual at a site called Gizmodo.com. And the curiosity is warranted! As I wrote in my hands-on with them at Connect last week, these are the smart glasses you’ve been waiting for.
But as much as I can tell you that, it’s hard to fully understand until you try them for yourself, and you’re about to have more locations to do just that. According to Meta, it’s launching a few new pop-ups where you’ll be able to get a “premium” demo experience. I can’t say for sure what that entails, but I would hope it involves a more “hands-on” experience with the smart glasses and Meta’s Neural Band that lets you control them with finger gestures. Heck, maybe you’ll even get the same experience I got!
Without further ado, here are all the pop-up locations incoming (the Burlingame one is an existing location and is actually being made permanent, but I included it for reference):
