Meta Connect 2025: Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2, Oakley Vanguard & Display Glasses
Explore Meta Connect 2025’s biggest reveals — from the new Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2 smart glasses to the Oakley Vanguard wraparound design, plus the debut of the Meta Ray-Ban Display with Neural Band control. Discover battery upgrades, camera improvements, conversation-enhancing audio, and what these innovations mean for blind and low-vision users. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece are joined by Carrie Morales and Michael Babcock to break down everything announced at Meta Connect 2025. The team debates whether the updated Meta Ray-Ban glasses are truly next-gen or a 1.5 release, and how the Oakley Vanguard wraparounds deliver better battery life, centred cameras, fitness integrations, and louder open-ear audio. The discussion dives deep into the Meta Ray-Ban Display — a $799 pair of glasses with a small right-eye screen and Neural Band gesture control. While impressive for mainstream users, the panel questions accessibility potential for blind and low-vision users. Live AI demos and WhatsApp call fails from Mark Zuckerberg highlight the real-world reliability of this evolving tech. Key insights include the new Conversation Focus feature for isolating voices in noisy spaces, Garmin and Strava integration for sports users, and the significance of Neural Band gestures for future accessible interfaces. Tech futurist Robert Scoble also shares his perspective on live demo risks, AI-powered experiences, and where smart glasses are headed in the next decade.
