Most exciting of all is the new virtual handwriting feature. Meta originally teased it when the glasses launched and later brought it in early access for some users. However, it is now available to everyone.
Called “Neural Handwriting,” the feature works with Meta’s Neural Band and uses subtle finger movements to write messages in apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and the native messaging apps on both Android and iPhone.
Additionally, users can now record their in-lens displays, camera views, and audio in a single video file for easy sharing. The company also announced that walking directions are now available across the US as well as in major cities such as London, Paris, and Rome, among others.
The Live Captions feature is also coming to WhatsApp, Messenger, and voice DMs in Instagram.
Meta also announced that Muse Spark will be coming to the glasses this summer and opened developer preview access to the glasses. Developers can now build web apps for the Meta Ray-Ban Display and also extend mobile apps to the glasses.
