"On this episode of The Vergecast, we talk a lot about Meta's big bet on face computers. But first, a surprise! Nilay joins the show for a special episode of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, America's favorite podcast within a podcast, to talk about why it matters so much that Jimmy Kimmel's show was suspended, how Carr and the Trump administration are finding leverage to control speech, and why this incident has caused such backlash across the political spectrum."
"The Verge's Jake Kastrenakes and Richard Lawler discuss the Meta Ray-Ban Display (the one with the screen), the Oakley Meta Vanguard (the one with the sick wraparounds) and the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 (the one that's like the old one.) These devices are name crimes, and we say so. Then we talk about Meta's differing approaches to each model, and whether any of them are likely to convince people who wear glasses"
Meta and several competitors including Google, Apple, and Samsung are investing heavily in smart glasses and face computers. Meta currently appears to offer the most compelling and commercially successful consumer models. The product lineup includes the Meta Ray-Ban Display with an integrated screen, the Oakley Meta Vanguard with wraparound lenses, and the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 that resembles the original. Product names draw criticism. Meta employs differing hardware and design approaches across models to target varied user needs. Convincing habitual glasses wearers and people who do not normally wear glasses remains a significant adoption challenge. Additional topics include FCC speech controversies and various industry deals.
