iFixit got their hands on a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses, so we finally get to see what’s inside. Is it repairable? Not really. But if you can somehow find replacement parts, you could at least potentially swap out the battery.

The News

Serving up a monocular display, Meta Ray-Ban allows for basic app interaction beyond the standard stuff seen (or rather ‘heard’) in its […]

The News

Released in late 2024, Quest 3S is Meta’s most affordable current-gen VR headset, which includes color mixed reality capabilities in addition to all of the games on the Horizon Store. As the name implies, it also runs the same games as the more expensive Quest 3, but lowers the price by using the same lenses and displays as the older Quest 2, released […]

Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset feels like a pretty clear directive to make a high quality MR game that showcases Quest 3’s passthrough capabilities. In that respect, it’s a partial success, as the MR/VR hybrid serves up some neat diorama-style racing action blended with a surprisingly heartfelt narrative, all the while packing in a healthy dose of the same high production value and visual wonder that made Vader Immortal such a success. Still, it was difficult to shirk the feeling halfway […]

Ray-Ban Display, Meta’s first smart glasses with a display, are now available for sale. However, unless you’re in the US and in a handful of major metropolitan areas, it’s difficult to get your hands on a pair.

The News

Meta Ray-Ban Display is now available in the US for $800. The pricetag includes the glasses and Neural Band, an EMG wristband which allows you to control the glasses with subtle gestures. Unfortunately you can’t just order the glasses, you need to schedule a ‘demo’ (which also functions […]

The News

Schott has secured a big win as perhaps the first waveguide maker to begin producing waveguides at consumer scale. While Meta hasn’t confirmed who makers the waveguides in the […]
