Meta's display glasses were something they announced, I believe, in 2024, came out last year.
And they have a small display down in the bottom of the screen that can be used for transcription, language translation, seeing directions that guide you around.
They also require a wristband, a compute puck, they call it, in order to offload some of the gesture control and technology that they need to pack into the glasses.
So they're a little bit bulkier than the Gen 2 ones, which is something that people were critical about.
So they look a little Google glassier, but they have the displays, which has been the holy grail for smart glasses for a long time.
is having that heads-up display like you would in a video game or just walking around.
It's kind of old man from up, but make it fashion.
So I think they're a little bit boxier.
But I think if you've got the right kind of face, I suppose, or just confidence, I think you could pull it off.
Okay.
All right.
Well, what about sales?
How are sales going, to the best of your knowledge?
I think Meta sold 9 million pairs of glasses.
Wow.
Total, I believe it was 7 million in 2025 alone.
So they've definitely been doing pretty well in terms of sales.
Yeah, I think they have.
I think it's also something that everybody else seems to be following in their footsteps.
Like Google has recently partnered with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, which are also very fashionable glasses brands.
