Meta’s Smart Glasses: The Beginning of AI Worn on Your Face

September 20, 2025

At Meta’s annual Connect conference, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled what could be remembered as a defining step in the evolution of human-computer interaction. Forget keyboards, forget touchscreens, forget even the smartphone—Meta believes the future is something you wear, something that sees what you see, hears what you hear, and responds to the subtlest flicker of a thought.

The newly launched Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses combine a tiny integrated display with an AI-powered neural wristband that reads barely perceptible movements. At $799, they are not a casual purchase, but Zuckerberg is clear about their role: this is the next stage of humanity’s digital interface.

The Era of Enhanced Memory: How AI and Smart Glasses Will Redefine What It Means to Remember

September 17, 2025

by Futurist Thomas Frey

For most of human history, memory has been unreliable. We forget faces, misplace details, and misinterpret events. Our brains were never designed as perfect recorders; they were designed for survival, filtering only what seemed useful at the moment. But a revolution is coming—one that will redefine memory not as a fragile biological function but as an augmented capability, seamlessly integrated into our daily lives.

In earlier predictions, I suggested that future generations would wear smart glasses and sensors to record the totality of their life experiences. Imagine living with a complete archive of your existence—every conversation, every event, every fleeting glance captured and retrievable. It would be like carrying a second brain in the cloud, an external memory system with perfect recall.

Smart glasses, smart designer babies and the future of work

November 24, 2019

John B. Goodenough, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry last month, struggled to learn to read. “Back then,” he says, “You were just a backwards student.”

His experience is still all too common, yet he and many like him demonstrate clearly that dyslexia is not a definitive barrier to career achievement. We must ask ourselves if our entry level recruitment and education systems should always depend on literacy.

What are smart glasses?

August 23, 2018

Google Glass made smart glasses a reality, but what are they, really?.

It wasn’t that long ago when a doctor’s prescription and one’s physical limitations were the only uses for eyewear. But now, eyeglasses have gone high tech with smart glasses: eye glasses with a mini computer inside that displays information right on the lens(es).

Eyeglass usefulness began with the need to simply read things more easily. It eventually extended to shield the eyes from the sun and, even more recently, as a simple fashion statement. But the 21st century has other plans for the wearable accessory — and they’re the most innovative yet.
