Mark Zuckerberg believes smart glasses will replace phones as the next major tech platform, with Meta's new AI-powered Ray-Ban models leading the way.

As Meta and Google prep next-gen glasses, Snap's AR Spectacles are evolving to keep up.

The operating system underlying smartglasses is nearly as important as the hardware, as it ensures users can get the most out of their smartglasses experience. With Snap OS 2.0, the company is improving how users experience the AR layer, starting with a revamped browsing experience.

Specifically, rumor has it the Meta Hypernova will be the first Meta smart glasses with a built-in display. That would be a major upgrade over the Meta Oakley and Ray-Ban glasses, and put Meta in competition with futuristic upstarts like Xreal.
