Meta Platforms (META) Chief Product Officer Chris Cox reportedly said that smart glasses will be the future of computing devices.
According to a CNBC report on Thursday, Cox said in an interview, “We talk to them, we will see with them, we will use gestures the same way we interact with each other to interact with our computers.”
“The interfaces will get more natural, and so we certainly believe that the next really important wearable technology is going to be a pair of glasses,” Cox told CNBC.
Retail sentiment about the stock improved to ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘bullish’ territory a day ago, with chatter at ‘high’ levels, according to data from Stocktwits. Shares of the company were up nearly 1% during midday trading.
On Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses at the Meta Connect 2025 conference. Zuckerberg noted that these were the advanced AI glasses to date, featuring a full-color, high-resolution display. The company said that each pair comes with its own Meta Neural Band, an EMG wristband that translates the signals created by human muscles, such as subtle finger movements, into commands for the glasses.
Meta said that the price of the glasses starts at $799, which includes both the glasses and the Meta Neural Band. Meta Ray-Ban Display will hit shelves September 30 at limited brick-and-mortar retailers in the U.S., the company said. These retailers would be Best Buy, Sunglass Hut, and Ray-Ban Stores.
Cox, on Thursday, told CNBC that users will be able to record videos and also send messages via voice or physically using handwriting gestures on their knee.
Shares of Meta have gained nearly 34% this year and increased by 40% over the last 12 months.
