Meta is giving Ray-Ban Display users an option to text on their glasses without needing their phone or a keyboard, only the Meta Neural Band. The new EMG handwriting feature, announced on Tuesday during CES, allows users to physically write with their hand on any surface, rather than texting. It’s currently rolling out as an early access feature in WhatsApp and Messenger.
Meta Ray-Ban Display users are also getting a new teleprompter feature, which lets users copy notes from their phone into customizable text cards visible on their glasses. The neural band can be used to navigate through the cards. The teleprompter feature is beginning a phased rollout this week.

Lastly, the Pedestrian Navigation feature is getting support for four new cities: Denver, Las Vegas, Portland, and Salt Lake City. This beta feature allows users to see walking directions from their glasses, but is currently only supported in a few dozen cities.
