With the Connect 2025 event, Meta is staring at the smart glasses market again. This year, the focus of the event includes screen glasses, new rail-ban models and artificial intelligence integration. Mark Zuckerberg’s opening speech is expected to mark the agenda. The opening speech will begin at 03.00 with the night that connects Wednesday to Thursday.
The company has reached 2 million sales so far in smart glasses developed in cooperation with Ray-Ban and Oakley. However, Meta wants to stand out not only with sales figures, but also with the practicality of glasses in daily use. At this point, new models are expected to offer a significant increase in image quality and battery life. In addition, small but effective software updates to increase the user experience may also be raised. However, all the details of these innovations will be clarified on the Connect scene.
Meta will check the screen through the bracelet in its new glasses
According to CNBC’s information, Meta is preparing to introduce a new series of smart glasses with a small screen in the right lens. Although this screen does not offer a large space, it was designed to show short notifications and instant information. In addition, the bracelet to be used with glasses is powered by surface electromyography technology. This system makes it possible to control the glasses by detecting electrical signals from hand movements. This technology, which came from the CTRL-Labs initiative, which Meta bought in 2019, was exhibited last year with augmented reality glasses.
The price of the new model is expected to be at the level of $ 800. However, it is said that the device can be thicker and heavy compared to previous models. In a video leaked to the Internet, the phrase “Meta | Ray-Ban Display oluş was seen, which pointed out that the product was quite close to promotion. These developments suggest that the glasses will not only be a prototype and will be offered to the market in a short time. In addition, Meta is expected to add special software features to make this model more intertwined with daily life.
The third generation of the Ray-Ban Metas series can also appear on Connect 2025. The previous model, which was introduced two years ago, attracted great attention and gave Meta a serious sales success. In the new generation, features such as 3K resolution video recording and longer battery life seems to be possible. In addition, it is aimed to increase user comfort with thinner frames and light materials in design. Despite everything, all these details remain at the claim level until the official announcement is made.
On the other hand, the new SPAERA model produced by Oakley brand is also on the agenda. This glasses are expected to attract attention with their camera on the nose bridge. Designed for sports and outdoor -oriented use, the model can carry the daily smart glasses experience to a different dimension. In addition, Meta aims to reach different user groups by diversifying the product portfolio in cooperation with Oakley. This diversity can increase the dominance of the brand in the glasses segment.
On the virtual reality side, it seems that a new quest model will not come from Meta this year. The company is working on a light heading ultra, which transfers its calculation power with a separate modular. This device is expected to be introduced before 2026. Nevertheless, manufacturers such as Lenovo and Asus have licensed the Horizon OS operating system and develops new devices. On the other hand, this development shows that Meta is not alone in the VR market.
Asus is said to have developed a new title of virtual reality named Tarius. This device is expected to stand out with its eye tracking and detecting facial expressions. If this model is ready, there is a possibility of taking part in the Connect 2025 scene. Nevertheless, Asus is thought to take such a step to strengthen the VR ecosystem of Meta. In addition to all these, this competition can provide more advanced devices for users.
In addition to the developments on the hardware side, Meta accelerates artificial intelligence -oriented innovations. The company recently transformed the accompanying application of smart glasses into an independent commodity application. This application allows users to discover and share content produced with artificial intelligence. In addition, new artificial intelligence features are expected to be added to the existing glasses. This move clearly shows that Meta puts artificial intelligence at the center of its devices.
The event is expected to refer to Zuckerberg’s vision of Metaverse. Although this concept has not attracted as much attention as before, Meta has not given up its investments. However, the company now offers developments in this field in a more realistic and user -oriented way. Updates for Metaverse are expected to be announced together with glasses technologies and artificial intelligence. In addition, Connect 2025 seems to be likely to give Tips on the future technology roadmap.
