Mark Zuckerberg started his pursuit of killing the smartphone

If you cannot resist the desire to check your phone again and again, even if you are out with friends, Meta has a solution: check your glasses instead.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in Meta Connect 2025 Keyword. “I think we lost it a little with phones, and we have the opportunity to restore them with glasses.”

In fact, Meta wants to eat its own Apple and Google’s own devices so that you don’t have to keep their profits through application stores. However, this is that a dead corner is taking it to sell its most advanced smart glasses so far, Meta Ray-Ban ViewAnd that the company hopes to be able to one day in one day of the market share of smartphones.

Meta Laboratory Division burns money in AverageWhich is related to investors over the years. But on Wednesday’s event, he finally showed us a glimpse of what the department divides $ 70 billion of losses Since 2020, he went towards.

Meta had a fair share of fluctuations, such as the full promise of a social microscope. (Remember when they announced that the symbols are metavers Finally, get the legsAnd?

Like the smart glasses in Meta, which have been sold Millions From husbands, the new model has cameras, loudspeakers, microphones and AI assistant on board. The screen can be displayed on glasses, which are displaced so that you do not hinder the visual line, Meta applications such as Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook, as well as directions and live translations.

What distinguishes the Meta Ray-Ban width from each other is the Meta nervous range, a wrist that uses the surface electrical layout (SEMG) to capture the signals sent between your mind and your hand when performing a gesture.

Meta’s keyword did not enter the details of how Zuckerberg was writing these texts, but according to Reality Laboratory Research In Semg, users can write letters like this by collecting their fingers together as if they were controlling the pen and “writing” the text.

While some artificial intelligence shows failed in the keyword-Zuckerberg blaming the Wi-Fi network at least we have reached the wrist of the wrist, which is the most novel. Zuckerberg soon wrote text letters, then sent them on Ray Banz.

“I am up to about 30 words per minute,” Zuckerberg said on the stage at Minlo Park headquarters. “You can get very quickly.”

On a smartphone -working smartphone like iPhone, research has estimated that people are stacking this 36 words per minuteMake the Zuckerberg claim impressive. The average participants in reality laboratory research reached 21 words per minute.

Unlike Bans Meta Ray-Bans, this technology allows people to use glasses without speaking loudly, which is always unnatural in public settings. Although Apple Watch can send texts without sound claim, the process is very boring and slow so that they are only useful as a last resort.

Other gesture controls on their wrist seems to be more similar to the technology that consumers have used before, such as Nintendo Joy-Cons and Apple Watches. But if the facade of text messages that have no good sound, it seems likely that the wrist is able to gesture more complicated than we are used to.

Meta has invested heavily in research on SEMG since 2021, and even shows us a preliminary model for a more stable product called Orion. Love apple and GoogleMeta is preparing for an unpopular future as these smart glasses can be able to give up the smartphone.

But as with any huge investment of devices, there is no way to see if this will actually feel more natural for people in their daily lives than withdrawing the elegant aluminum rectangle from their pocket to take advantage of messages to their friends.

This may be the biggest bet for Meta – it may be a greater bet of subpar metaverse. For this reason it is amazing that Zuckerberg reveals this technology not just a great innovation, but it is something that he wants to photograph as more sexual than a smartphone. It is a way to take advantage of our increasing intelligence through the continuously increasing screen time, although it is the one that makes the applications that require our attention.

“Technology needs to get out of the road,” said Zuckerberg.

Will the smartphone become ancient residue like Nokia with the T9 keyboard? This depends on whether there is a fact for Zuckerberg’s novel that these glasses will help us feel more present. But Meta and its competitors are betting on the cultural shift from smartphones to smart glasses, and Ray-Ban will give consumers their first taste in this possible future.
