'Meta Ray-Ban Display' Glasses Design, HUD Clips Leak

A leaked Meta video revealed upcoming "Meta Ray-Ban Display" smart glasses with a monocular HUD and sEMG wristband control, set to debut at Connect 2025 for around $800. Despite past hesitation, it looks like EssilorLuxottica has agreed to co-brand after Meta invested $3.5 billion in the company, taking a 3% stake. UploadVR reports: Meta's HUD glasses with the sEMG wristband will in fact be Ray-Ban branded, a leaked video which also depicts the HUD and wristband in action reveals. A quickly removed unlisted video on Meta's YouTube channel showed what will soon be Meta and EssilorLuxottica's full lineup:

- The regular Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
- The recently-launched Oakley Meta HSTN glasses.
- The rumored Oakley Meta Sphaera glasses, with eye protection and a centered camera.
- The rumored monocular heads-up display (HUD) glasses controlled by Meta's long-in-development sEMG wristband, which are labeled as "Meta Ray-Ban" with the word "Display" underneath. The smart glasses are expected to be made official during the Meta Connect 2025 keynote at 5pm PT on Wednesday.

Isn't it more like the spy glasses from the first Mission Impossible? Could livestream anything from a FPV. Instead of having a strange angle like a bodycam, it'll be the same vantage point as the person wearing them sees. These "day in the life of" could be realistic. Especially if covert. Maybe a return of Surveillance Cameraman, on a wide scale? On that subject, what happened to all those videos?

Ah, now, see, I think you might be wrong about that...

Re:

Is that like a programmable flag they've got or something? IsPervert, IsNonPervert, something like that?

Re:

Because if it is, I reckon IsPearlClutcher would be a much more profitable grift for their algorithms, just saying.

More like the Cone of Silence from Get Smart.

Screentime

[abulafia]

We gotta talk.

See, you do this thing.

Sometimes you stop looking at your phone. I know, food, peeing, mouth noises at other people who aren't looking at their phones, either.

That's why we need you to put this on your face.

Because they want their users to be violently assaulted by complete strangers.

Don't worry they'll make sure they can delete video on their end without user input when it gets used to help fill in some blank time for some cops whose body cam footage "got lost"

Didn't they learn the last time?

Nobody likes a glasshole. Anyone who wears these more or less advertises themselves as a fucking narc who should be avoided at all costs.

All is fair in love and mass corporate surveillance apparently.

Cool!

[Rosco P. Coltrane]

Does it work without a Facebook account and 24/7 creepy corporate surveillance?

Oh...

I don't get it

[MpVpRb]

HUD glasses may be a useful tech product, but I don't get why they would pay a fashion company to use a fashionable name
If they were useful, they wouldn't need a trendy, fashionable name

How are these more acceptable than Google Glass?

[jonwil]

When Google Glass came out, people complained about the "always on camera" and other stuff (the whole "glasshole" thing).

The Meta Ray-Ban glasses are basically the same thing except made by the biggest glasses company on the planet and an even bigger data harvester than Google. Why aren't the same people who complained about Google Glass complaining about these?
