Meta Connect 2025: Meta showcased its latest tech, focusing on smart glasses and VR updates. Highlights include the Meta Ray-Ban Display with AR screen and Neural Band, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 with improved battery, audio, and camera, and Oakley Meta Vanguard for athletes with a rugged design and AI features. VR updates feature Hyperscape for real-world scanning, the Horizon TV hub with streaming and Dolby Atmos, and an upgraded Horizon Engine with enhanced graphics, performance, and AI-assisted world-building.

Meta on Wednesday unveiled the Ray-Ban Display smart glasses at its Meta Connect event, succeeding the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses launched in 2023. The new model retains the ultra-wide camera, microphones, and open-ear speakers but adds a heads-up display on the right lens. It also ships with an sEMG wristband, enabling gesture-based controls for users.

Ahead of the Great Indian Festival Sale 2025, Amazon has revealed some of the top deals on smartphones that will be live on September 23. One of the most notable offers is on the iPhone 15. The handset is listed for Rs. 59,990, but customers will be able to purchase it for below Rs. 45,000, all of the offers combined.

Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 was unveiled at the Meta Connect 2025 event on Thursday. The successor to the 2023 Ray-Ban Meta comes with significant battery and camera upgrades, as well as a large number of colour and frame choices. The glasses can now capture videos and photos in 3K resolution.

At Meta Connect on Wednesday, Oakley debuted the Meta Vanguard smart glasses, designed for athletes and outdoor use. Unlike the Ray-Ban Meta series, the Sphaera features a wraparound build and a centrally positioned camera. The launch comes alongside the Ray-Ban Display and third-generation Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Meta had briefly teased the Sphaera in a YouTube video earlier this week.
