• Meta has recently published a video trailer for its upcoming smart glasses, which is expected to be unveiled on Wednesday.
• Montaz included Meta Ray-Ban’s clips, including HUDi display and restband controllers.
• A new Okla model based on the brand’s Sfera design was also leaked.

Did Meta fail its biggest hardware declaration of only 2025? Some people will say yes, but this is not all doom and sadness in Menlo Park.

Meta Connect is expected to be a decisive moment for the AI ​​Wearbals industry this week, as the manufacturers of the popular Ray-Ban Smart Chashma take a platform to unveil a successful model-and perhaps more.

Unfortunately, for the Tech veteran, Wednesday’s biggest surprise may leaked only to the public. Now an unrestaded YouTube video, first discovered Uploadvr“Ray-Ban Display” was shown to be an unpublished pair of glasses and another based on the spaira design of Okle.

We look equally good as expected, and correspond to the previous reports of the meta, which push to the more advanced, wrist-band-controlled pair of smart glasses. If the execution of the ray-ban display is as good as the trailer excludes it, there is more reason for Wednesday’s keynote speaker to be excited.

What is new with Meta Ray-Ban display?

The current generation of Meta Ray-Ban has become one of the most transformative consumer products of the last two years. Content creators are making career around face-to-face cameras, everyday users are using vision insurance to buy them, and even tech journalists (included themselves) are reaching these glasses in more than $ 1,000 cameras to capture the video.

But now two -year -old smart glasses are also showing their age, recording abilities, battery life, and their feature sets are being excluded by Rokid, Google and, soon, by new competitors in Samsung. It is mentioned here how Meta is leaving things in 2025.

First, the new Meta Ray-Ban display glasses will have a monochular HUD feature that projects the navigation pathway, translation, messages and exchanges with the meta AI assistant. Depending on the leaked video, the display is a stable projection, which means that it will not magically anchor what is in front of you, such as a promotional reality will be the headset.

This is not a bad thing, because components such as accelerometer, gyroscope, or even lidar depth sensor are required, which will otherwise add to the wholesale of glasses. They are equally similar to traditional iwear, better.

Meta is also pitching its new ray-bans with a long time rummed EMG (electromography) restband. The company demonstrated the weedable technology during last year’s connect event, with its original prototype, and my CNET colleague, Scott steinSaid that it worked surprisingly well.

Stein also believes that it will not be a hud display or redisign frame that steals the show this year, but EMG Ristband, which allows users to navigate, type and interact with visual interfaces of glasses with tap, pinch and swipe.

It is promising to hear that I will make a finger gestures or publicly wave my arms while I did with the Apple Vision Pro and Quest 3 while shouting in an invisible voice or sitting down and sitting down.

Ground level …

Now the questions that I have: How long will the restband last, and what else can you do beyond detecting the gestures of the hand? And are consumers also ready to charge another equipment – above their phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, earbuds and everything else?

These questions – and too much – in fact why I am tuning in Meta Connect this week. If Mark Zuckerberg actually believes that the future of consumer technology is located in the frame before our eyes, they will need more than an attractive demo. They will need to explain to consumers that it is worth space in their lives, and it is worth their future to convince developers.
