$We Tore Down Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Glasses — And They’re WAY More Advanced Than You Think We may be a step closer to the end of the smartphone. Look away parents, this is as close as we’ll ever get to a screen without it actually being inside our eyeballs. Meet the Meta RayBan Display glasses. They take all the features of the previous generation Meta smartglasses—open-ear beamforming audio, Meta’s baked-in AI assistant, and picture and video recording—and cram in a display overlay to bring a full AR experience. But what about replacing the batteries in these $800 glasses? Can you change a dead speaker or swap in a fresh lens if you scratch them? No, no, and no are the short answers. But this is bleeding edge tech, and we’re itching to see how it works and throw down the gauntlet for more repairable wearables of the future.
