A new version of the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses is also on the cards. This updated model will come in two versions: sunglasses and clear frames. It will feature improved cameras, better battery life, and support for new AI capabilities. There are also rumors of new third-party glasses integrations as Meta seems to be preparing to give developers access to its smart glasses platform.
AI will be a major focus at this year's event. Meta AI already has a billion monthly users, and new features for the tech are expected on both the company's glasses and its apps. There are also reports of a new lineup of non-English speaking "character-driven" bots for Meta's apps. However, these character-centric chatbots have faced criticism, with the company recently blocking teens' access to many user-generated characters due to safety concerns.
