On Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Social Media Company’s first-ready smart glasses, the first consumer with a settled screen.
Glasses, which cost $ 799, contain a small digital display that can be controlled by hand gestures by confirming a CNBC report in August. The promotional video of the new smart glasses appeared on Monday on Meta’s Youtube page, but later removed.
On Thursday at 11:00, Meat: Meta Head Product Officer Chris Cox joined CNBC TV to discuss the important points of Julia Boorstin and Meta’s annual connect event.
The new smart glasses are a bridge between the company’s only voice Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses and the company’s experimental orion’s last year’s Connect event. Orion can cover 3D images on a person’s real world viewing area with the help of a wireless information process disk, but glasses are expensive and are not yet available for consumers.
Meta Ray-Ban screen glasses come with the meta neural band, an EMG bracelet that allows users to control the device using hand gestures.
“These are the classic glasses you expect from Ray-Ban, but the first AI glasses with a high-resolution display and a completely weighted meta nerve band.” He said.
Zuckerberg said he could see and respond to new glasses, video watching or text messages on the screen. The screen does not prevent a person’s opinion and said it was lost when not used.
Glasses are on sale in the United States on 30 September.
During a demo, Zuckerberg has repeatedly tried to call the META Technology Chief Andrew Bosworth unsuccessful.
“This uh – you know, it’s happening,” Zuckerberg said.

Oakley branded glasses will cost $ 499 when they are released on October 21, which will be $ 100 more expensive than Oakley Meta Hstn glasses offered for sale in June.
