Meta Unveils Next-Gen AI Glasses With Built-In Displays

Meta has expanded its smart eyewear lineup, unveiling new Ray-Ban and Oakley glasses that integrate artificial intelligence and augmented reality features, as the company continues its push toward the metaverse.

At the annual Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Ray-Ban Display, billed as the company’s most advanced AI glasses yet. The device features built-in screens that project messages, photos, and apps directly into the wearer’s field of vision. It is paired with “neural bands” — sensor-equipped wristbands that allow users to control the glasses with subtle hand and finger gestures. The glasses will retail at $799.

“Our goal is to build great-looking glasses that deliver personal superintelligence and a feeling of presence using realistic holograms,” Zuckerberg said, describing AI glasses as the “next major computing platform” set to replace smartphones.

Meta also launched Oakley Meta Vanguard, performance-focused smart glasses designed for sports and fitness. Priced at $499, they include an action-ready camera, fitness app integration, and immersive audio.

Meanwhile, updated Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses — starting at $379 — expand on Meta’s partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Ray-Ban and Oakley. The glasses, already the world’s best-selling AI eyewear, now feature real-time translation, hands-free cameras, and AI-powered digital assistant functions.

Despite these innovations, Meta’s Reality Labs division continues to operate at a loss. It posted a $4.5 billion loss in Q2 2025 on revenues of just $370 million. Analysts say the push into AI eyewear is less about short-term profits and more about positioning Meta to break free from reliance on Apple and Google’s smartphone ecosystems.

The global smart glasses market, valued at nearly $2 billion in 2024, is projected to grow more than fourfold by the end of the decade, according to Grand View Research.

“AI glasses connect us to real-world superpowers as we move throughout the day, tapping into a wealth of information while staying present in the moment,” Meta said in a statement.

Larry Ellison Surpasses Elon Musk to Become World’s Richest Person after his fortune increased by over $100 billion in one day.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has overtaken Elon Musk as the world’s richest individual after a sharp surge in Oracle’s share price lifted his fortune to $393bn, edging past Musk’s $384bn.

The 81-year-old billionaire, who holds a 41% stake in Oracle, saw his wealth soar on Wednesday when the software giant posted stronger-than-expected results. Oracle’s stock jumped over 40% in early trading to $340 per share, valuing the company at $958bn. Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index noted it was both the firm’s largest single-day rise & the biggest one-day wealth gain ever recorded.

Ellison & Musk now rank far ahead of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg & Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. Ellison’s wealth also comes from a stake in Tesla, ownership of the Hawaiian island of Lanai, a sailing team & the Indian Wells Open tennis tournament. He has long ties with Musk, whom he has often been described as mentoring.

He served on Tesla’s board from 2018 to 2022 and invested $1bn in Musk’s purchase of Twitter (now X). According to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk, when asked to invest, Ellison replied he would contribute a billion dollars or “whatever you recommend.” Musk is also a frequent guest on Ellison’s Hawaiian island.

A supporter of Donald Trump, Ellison has appeared with him at the White House, including for the launch of the $500bn Stargate AI project. Musk, who initially had close ties with Trump before a recent fallout, is also backing Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Oracle’s surge is driven by soaring demand for its cloud services from AI firms, including ChatGPT maker OpenAI, which require massive datacentres.

Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, first claimed the top spot in 2021, briefly ceded it to Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault, and regained it last year. After just over 300 days, Ellison has now taken the crown.

An American lawyer who shares his name with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has sued Meta, saying the company wrongly kept blocking his account for impersonation. The attorney, Mark S Zuckerberg, is based in Indiana and has been practising bankruptcy law for nearly 38 years. He says Facebook has suspended his account five times in the past eight years,

Tech Billionaire Elon Musk absent as Trump Hosts Tech Leaders at White House Dinner.

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted top technology executives at the White House on Thursday night, in a high-profile dinner focused on boosting domestic investment and innovation. One notable absence was Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk, once a close ally of Trump and former head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Their relationship soured earlier this year after Musk dismissed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” as “idiotic,” warning it would worsen federal debt. The feud escalated when Musk accused Trump on X of concealing Jeffrey Epstein’s files.

Instead, the guest list featured Musk’s rivals and other industry leaders. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Apple’s Tim Cook, Google’s Sundar Pichai, and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg were among those seated around Trump at the long table.

“This is taking our country to a new level,” Trump declared, describing his guests as “high IQ people.” He pressed executives on their U.S. investments, with Zuckerberg claiming Meta spends $600 billion annually, Cook citing the same figure for Apple, Pichai noting $250 billion from Alphabet, and Nadella pledging $80 billion from Microsoft.

Other attendees included IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, Oracle’s Safra Catz, Google founder Sergey Brin, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman. Trump also welcomed Blue Origin CEO David Limp, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, Palantir’s Shyam Sankar, Scale AI’s Alexandr Wang, and Code. org president Cameron Wilson.

Trump, who has long courted Silicon Valley while also sparring with its leaders, used the event to boast about America’s AI progress and frame tech investment as a cornerstone of his economic agenda.
