2 articles · Updated · Fortune · Jul 5

Summary

  • $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses let Mark Zuckerberg take business calls on a jet ski without the other person noticing, he said in a new interview.
  • Meta's CEO said microphone placement in the nose pad delivers clear audio even in heavy wind, underscoring his push to sell glasses as practical all-day computing devices.
  • The display model, unveiled at Meta Connect in September, adds a built-in screen and a Neural Band wristband that reads forearm signals for finger-gesture controls.
  • Zuckerberg argues the market could reach nearly 2 billion existing eyeglass wearers, and he said sales tripled over the past year even as Reality Labs lost $19.2 billion in 2025.
