You Can Now Make Apps on Meta Display Glasses if You Want To
Meta said developers can build web and mobile apps for the glasses, while users also get new features including live captions and display recording.
- On Thursday, Meta announced third-party app support for its $800 Ray-Ban Display glasses, enabling developers to build standalone or phone-connected experiences for the device's heads-up display.
- Previously, the 6-month-old smart glasses felt limited because only Meta-made software could utilize the monocular display, frustrating users who wanted greater utility from the high-end hardware.
- Developers can now build services using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript or port existing apps via the Wearables Device Access Toolkit, enabling "information overlays" and gesture controls using the Neural Band.
- Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth showcased "Darkroom Buddy," an interactive film-development guide, though early adoption faces challenges from potential battery drain caused by display-intensive applications.
- Competition is intensifying as Google prepares to unveil Gemini-powered smart glasses next week, while Meta works to establish a sustainable ecosystem for long-term device relevance.
