Six months ago I called the Meta Ray-Ban Display a glimpse of the future stuck in beta. Now you can load any app on it, so did Meta actually fix it?
👉 NEW: Our XR Hub, gear, packs & full studio setup → casandchary.com/gear
In this video, we revisit the Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses 6 months later and go through everything that changed: the new developer preview that lets anyone load web apps and even vibe-code their own, neural handwriting, display recording, expanded walking navigation, live captions, and a pile of new features. We also get honest about what Meta still hasn't fixed and compare it to rivals like Google's Gemini smart glasses and Even Realities. Which update are YOU most excited about? Drop it in the comments!
