For Your Education and Enjoyment Meta Debuts Next-Gen AI Glasses—A Turning Point for Reality Labs?Written by Leo Miller. Published 9/28/2025. 
Key Points - Meta's Ray-Ban Display artificial intelligence glasses are the company's latest step in its mission to replace smartphones.
- The new glasses provide significant advancements over the company's past offerings.
- If sales are strong, the device could change perceptions of Meta's money-losing Reality Labs segment.
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) recently hosted its annual Meta Connect event, where it unveiled the next-generation AI glasses: the Meta Ray-Ban Display. With this device, Mark Zuckerberg is one step closer to his vision of AI glasses eventually replacing smartphones. But what could the Meta Ray-Ban Display mean for Meta's stock in both the short and long term? Could it prove a breakthrough for the company's Reality Labs segment? Let's examine the device and its potential impact. Meta Ray-Ban Display: Significant Upgrades and Strong Reviews From the outset, the Meta Ray-Ban Display marks a considerable upgrade over Meta's previous smart glasses. As its name suggests, the device now features a two-dimensional visual display embedded in the right lens. This visible interface lets wearers interact discreetly, reducing the need for voice commands and making the glasses more practical in public settings. Users can send and receive messages on WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram, access turn-by-turn walking directions, and preview photos or videos before capturing them. Previously, snapping images with Ray-Ban glasses was largely a guessing game. Meta says image preview was the top user request for the earlier model. The new device can also display subtitles and offer real-time translation during conversations. Perhaps the most intriguing feature is the Meta Neural Band wristband, which reads electrical impulses in the arm to detect gesture-based commands. Early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with Engadget's Karissa Bell saying it "feels like the beginning of the smart glasses many people have been waiting for." Strong Adoption Could Alter Investor Outlook on Reality Labs With this new technology, Meta advances its mission to one day replace smartphones with AI glasses. Yet the device still can't match a smartphone's full capabilities, and its app ecosystem remains limited. Therefore, the Meta Ray-Ban Display isn't yet a genuine threat to Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). However, it could drive upside for Meta's shares. Compared with prior models, the visual display more closely mirrors smartphone functionality, offering a tangible demonstration of a future product that, with further refinement, could rival traditional handsets. If sales are strong, widespread consumer adoption of AI glasses becomes more credible. That shift in sentiment could reframe Reality Labs—from a loss-making division subsidized by Meta's advertising business—to a viable long-term growth driver. Positive sales data could boost the stock, while weak adoption might dampen enthusiasm. To date, Reality Labs has lost over $3 billion per quarter for more than two years, yet Meta's shares have soared, suggesting investors aren't penalizing the segment heavily. AI Glasses Continue to Add Long-Term Upside Potential Over the longer term, rapid advancements in Meta's AI glasses reinforce the view that the company could become a global leader in AI hardware. Coupled with its dominant positions in social media and AI-driven advertising, Meta remains difficult to bet against. Whether the latest device will prove a breakthrough for Reality Labs remains to be seen, but the bullish outlook for the stock persists unless a major setback arises.
