If you can't resist the urge to check your phone over and over, even if you're out with friends, Meta has a solution: check your glasses instead...
Meta's Reality Labs division burns cash at an alarming rate, which has concerned investors over the years...
Meta has had its fair share of flops, like the entire promise of its social metaverse...
But with the Meta Ray-Ban Display, Meta has created a remarkable piece of technology, unlike any other consumer-facing product on the market -- we have yet to test it ourselves, so we can't quite say just how groundbreaking this really is, but it looks promising.
Like Meta's existing smart glasses, which have sold millions of pairs, the new model has cameras, speakers, microphones, and an on-board AI assistant. The display on the glasses, which is offset so as not to obstruct one's sightline, can display Meta apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, as well as directions and live translations.
What most sets the Meta Ray-Ban Display apart is the Meta Neural Band, a wristband that uses surface electromyography (sEMG) to pick up on signals sent between your brain and your hand when performing a gesture...
While some live AI demos at the keynote failed -- Zuckerberg blamed the Wi-Fi -- we at least got to see the wristband in action, which is more novel. Zuckerberg quickly wrote out text messages, then sent them on his Ray-Bans.
"I'm up to about 30 words a minute on this," Zuckerberg said onstage at the company's Menlo Park headquarters. "You can get pretty fast."

Is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is.
I’m holding out for St. Elon’s direct brain interface.
Who are those guys???
One of them looks like the “It’s aliens” guy, and the other one kind of reminds me of the comedian who did the improv comedy with two other guys.
Should I be embarrassed I don’t recognize them?
One is definitely the “it’s aliens” guy, the other is David Duchovny from x files
David Duchovny — X Files. Can you believe X-Files started in 1993?
I want no part of this human "augmentation". What they can do with 5G is disgusting enough.
so how do people who wear glasses use Meta glasses? Or is that just “old school stuff”?
I’m gonna call ageism and old people discrimination on Mark suckerberg
Ah! Okay, I have never watched it, but have seen him in other things. Just could not place him...and who is the other guy-is he the “it’s aliens” guy???
Yes, it’s the “It’s aliens” guy and David Duchovney from the TV show X-Files
Elon and Zuck, Moloch’s messengers, will find a way to make you accept the mark.
Zburg can keep his proboscis out of my business!
How many car crashes will there be from someone wearing it and focusing on the screen rather than on the road?
Giorgio A. Tsoukalos. I think the A is for Aliens. Star of Ancient Aliens on the “History” Channel.
Forget it, Zucky. I want to use the device when I want to use it. It’s not going to be on my head so it can interrupt me every 5 minutes.
It’s a dumb idea. Millions of mind-numbed robots walking around with no awareness of the people around them! We already have that with the smartphone, but you can put the smartphone down.
Ah, Okay then!
Folks, I admit...as I have gotten older, I have largely (and deliberately) distanced myself from pop culture to the point I am generally an ignoramus about celebrities, something my wife teases me about.
I came home from work one night, and while I don’t watch television, my wife does, and she had some show on television that I was absentmindedly watching as we discussed the day’s events, me with my coat still on.
As I watched, I saw it was a group of people in some kind of living room, and there was a dark haired woman who had big curves in her body and huge eyelashes, and I everyone in that show seemed to be hanging on her every word.
When I finally asked “Who is that woman?” she sighed, rolling her eyes at me in semi-humorous exasperation and said “That’s Kim Kardashian. Don’t you ever pay attention to anything?”
LOL, at the time she was a big thing (apparently) and I had no idea who she was!
(and proud of it...:)
I hope I'm not that weak. I've passed the half century mark, lived a good life, and don't really have anything to lose at this point except my soul. I like my soul. They can have the houses, boats and other toys. They are just things.
Hahahaha...it will be like Steve Martin’s character in the movie “The Jerk” when he invents the “OptiGrab” but it causes people to get crosseyed and they sue him out of business!
Well, you’re reading this topic, which means you’ve got some Geek Factor, so you’ll probably be kickin’ yourself, but there’s no reason to hang your head in shame.
It is indeed Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, the other guy is David Duchovny who played Fox Mulder on the show “The X-Files”. I think if you hover over the image Giorgio’s name will float up. It suddenly occurred to me that I could add the other name so I could keep my clips straight...
