Meta Expands Ray-Ban Gesture Messaging, Adds Display Recording and Global Walking Directions
  • Meta is expanding gesture-based handwriting messaging on the Ray-Ban Display to all users, integrating it across WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and native Android and iOS messaging.

  • A new display recording feature combines the lens display view, the real-world view, and surrounding audio to create a single video.

  • Walking directions are now available across the contiguous United States and in major international cities, including London, Paris, and Rome.

  • The new display recording feature builds on the glasses' neural wristband and follows an earlier January early-access launch for WhatsApp and Messenger.

  • Meta is opening up app development for the glasses in a developer preview, allowing developers to deploy web apps to the Ray-Ban Display.

  • Live captions will be available in WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and as captions for voice messages in Instagram DMs.
