Meta Ray-Ban Display Smart Glasses Now More Useful, Third-Party Apps Are Coming

From PC Mag: Meta’s top-tier Ray-Ban Display augmented reality smart glasses offer impressive hardware, but PCMag’s review found the software limited, with too many ties to Meta’s own apps. That may soon change with third-party developers getting involved.

Meta announced several new features this week, including the option for developers to start building their own services. There aren't any third-party apps available yet, as this is the initial launch of tools, but it means developers can build unique services and ways to interact with the hardware.

The rollout lets developers jump in and build all-new Web Apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can then access any new tools on the smart glasses through a URL, rather than downloading software from a storefront.

Meta suggests apps could include "games, transit tools, cooking guides, grocery lists, instrument practice, and more.”
