Developers basically just got the go-ahead from Meta to build apps for its Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, but things are getting interesting fast. Now that Meta has opened up access to the full spectrum of hardware in its smart glasses (both display and Neural Band), ideas are clearly flowing, and some of them are, uh… something. There are your expected apps like games—Tetris with the Neural Band, anyone?—but others are meant to be more practical. Someone thinks you should be controlling your smart home with your Meta Ray-Ban Display, using your thumb to adjust the lights in Google Home. How about a speedometer that shows how fast you’re moving and the distance you’ve traveled while covering up a concerning amount of your vision in the process? 🥊 I built a first person boxing game for @Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. You dodge incoming punches by physically tilting your head! The glasses' built in IMU sensors (DeviceOrientationEvent API) track your head movements in real-time.
