Meta

While its name might point to a mostly-abandoned push into the metaverse, Meta’s found itself in the midst of a wearable revolution, thanks to both its smart glasses partnership with Ray-Ban and, of course, the Quest lineup of VR headsets. Now, several years after initially cancelling its first-ever smartwatch, Meta might be looking to give wrist-based gadgets another go.

Meta has a new generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses in the pipeline, and the designs have just leaked.

Meta has just announced its new Oakley smart glasses which function much like existing Ray-Ban models at their core, but have a few key upgrades, including better battery life and video quality.

Meta is expanding its smart glasses lineup not with the futuristic “Orion” just yet, but with Oakley joining Ray-Ban later this week with new glasses.

Meta AI is just another AI model among many popping up from existing and popular companies. What’s drawing people in, though, is the AI chatbot’s direct tie into Meta’s social apps people are already using to post, like Facebook and Instagram. It turns out that blurring that line between social and chatbot means people are asking a lot of personal questions, and they are all out in the open.

A new report claims that Meta’s next Ray-Ban smart glasses will be adopting a display of some sort, right as Google and Samsung are pushing for Android XR to do the same.

Meta has announced a new software update for its Ray-Ban smart glasses which will add “Live AI,” a feature that can use a video feed to gather context for questions, similarly to Google’s Project Astra.

Today during its Meta Connect event, Meta announced further expansions into augmented and mixed reality through updates to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, a new and more affordable Meta Quest 3S VR headset, and a first look at new “Orion” AR glasses.

In an update, Meta has extended the video recording limit on the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.

The dream of smart glasses has never died, but it’s also never truly succeeded. With its Ray-Ban smart glasses, though, Meta seems to have cracked the code, and it’s now bringing new AI features, video calling, and more to its smart glasses built in partnership with Ray-Ban.

WhatsApp’s Meta AI chatbot is becoming widely available for users, but it needs to be activated first. This guide will go over how to turn on Meta AI in WhatsApp and how to chat or generate images.

Meta is looking to expand on what AR smart glasses could actually accomplish, and a new partnership with MediaTek proves that the company is taking it seriously.

The OnePlus Open is a stellar Android foldable, with OxygenOS really being its only sticking point with random bugs and quirks that really just drag the experience down. And, as if to pile on, it’s now been revealed that the OnePlus Open revives the Facebook/Meta bloatware that we thought the brand’s phones were rid of.

Messenger Lite was announced in October of 2016 and aimed at less-powerful Android devices. It eventually became available for all phones, but Meta is now killing Messenger Lite in September.
