Mark Zuckerberg's Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Demo Stumbles Live at Meta Connect

During the highly anticipated Meta Connect event, a live demonstration of Meta's new Ray-Ban Meta Display AI smart glasses encountered unexpected technical difficulties. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, was on stage showcasing the video calling capabilities of the smart glasses when the feature repeatedly failed to connect. The demo, intended to highlight the seamless integration of AI into the new wearable technology, saw Zuckerberg attempting to initiate a video call multiple times. Each attempt resulted in missed calls or connection errors displayed on the large screen behind him, much to the amusement of the live audience. Despite the repeated setbacks, Zuckerberg maintained a composed demeanor, acknowledging the glitches with a smile and lighthearted comments. "Looks like we're not video calling with the Ray-Ban Meta Display AI smart glasses just yet," a voiceover in the video noted, reflecting the sentiment of the moment. The crowd responded with a mix of laughter and supportive applause, indicating a forgiving attitude towards the live demo's challenges. The incident underscored the inherent risks of live technology demonstrations and offered a candid glimpse into the development process of cutting-edge tech.
