• gesture support for interacting with the glasses.

The glasses also have a built-in An AI assistant that analyzes audio and video, prompting the user with useful information via the display or speakers in the temples.

Perspectives

According to Mark Zuckerberg, Meta* Ray-Ban Displays should take over some of the functions of a smartphone: quick replies to messages, viewing notifications, searching for information. They’re unlikely to replace the phone entirely, but the form factor looks promising for simple tasks.

But Meta* still has serious privacy issues that could put some of its audience off. Still, the very concept of smart glasses with a display looks to be one of the most realistic attempts to bring the “post-smartphone” era closer.
