Later this year, Meta plans to showcase its new augmented reality spectacles.

 

The hazy picture that a Threads user uploaded is the only preview we've seen thus far.

 

According to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Meta is preparing to introduce its ground-breaking augmented reality spectacles later this year. Even though the details of the new product are still unclear, Meta Ray-Ban fans will be thrilled to hear this news.

 The hazy picture that a user named Matthew Karolian uploaded on Threads is the only view we have seen thus far.

 

A pair of large spectacles with peculiar bends around the lenses and halfway through each arm is seen in the picture.

In response to Karolian's article, Mark Zuckerberg hinted that these glasses are, in fact, the newest model in Meta's augmented reality lineup. He stated, "Will be ready to share more later this year," which prompted many to assume that further information would be disclosed at Meta's annual Connect conference on September 25. At last year's Connect event, Meta debuted its well-known Ray-Ban smart eyewear.

 

A recent story from The Information (via Gizmodo) claims that Meta's upcoming AR glasses would have sophisticated features, such as a heads-up display that uses conventional projection technology in the right lens.

 

The glasses are anticipated to weigh about 70 grammes, which is almost twice as much as a regular pair of sunglasses. The rounded arms may have been intended to counteract some of the weight, which adds to the hefty look of the grainy picture.

 

There is speculation as to whether the new eyewear will still feature the Ray-Ban emblem. The article suggests that Meta may be shunning the Ray-Ban name.

Even as we wait for more detailed details, it's clear that Meta's new augmented reality glasses are expected to have a significant impact on the augmented reality business. For now, we'll have to wait and see what these AR glasses can offer and how they appear.
