Meta is enhancing its Ray-Ban Display glasses by allowing third-party developers to create apps that utilize the glasses' display and the Neural Band controller. This update follows user feedback about the limited app offerings since the glasses' launch last fall. Developers can now create mobile and web apps, with potential applications including information overlays, streaming media, and even mini-games like chess and snake. Despite the glasses' 20-degree field-of-view, which limits immersive experiences compared to other augmented reality (AR) devices, the addition of third-party apps could significantly increase their utility. Meta has also introduced new features, such as neural handwriting for messaging and display recording capabilities. The company is set to provide further updates during its upcoming Connect event, where a new iteration of the glasses may also be announced.
