Meta could reportedly be adding a display to their new Ray-Ban smart glasses that are due to be released in the second half of 2025. A new report by The Financial Times stated that the screen could be used to view notifications and responses from Meta AI’s virtual assistant. 

Earlier in September, Meta demoed their Orion AR glasses which the company admitted were too expensive to be in production yet. Notably, the prototype had a display which was still lacking in their Ray Bans. But the positive response to the demo spurred Meta to speed up its development reportedly. 

Google and Samsung recently introduced the Android XR glasses which come with a headset are will arrive in 2025. 

The previous edition of the Ray-Ban smart glasses come with in-ear speakers, cameras and microphones, have become successful after their launch in September last year. 

The Mark Zuckerberg-led company has been pushing into the wearable devices segment with CTO Andrew Bosworth saying that 2025 would be “the most important year in the history of Reality Labs,” their unit that makes glasses and VR headsets.
