AI Hardware, Meta Display, Redefining VR and AR

Here's something that’ll blow your mind — Ben Thompson reports that the Meta Ray-Ban Display has completely shifted the way we should think about AR and VR. Usually, these techs are bulky, tethered, and clunky, right? But now, with Meta’s new lightweight glasses, AR and VR are becoming truly personal and seamless, blurring the line between digital and real life. According to Thompson, what’s happening isn’t just about hardware improvements — it's about how AI hardware is powering smarter, more efficient displays that adapt to us in real time. These glasses aren’t just gadgets; they’re a glimpse into a future where digital overlays are always just there, effortlessly integrated into daily life. And get this — Thompson points out that Meta’s focus on hardware and AI integration is creating a whole new platform for social, work, and entertainment experiences. So, the big takeaway? If this pattern continues, the next wave of tech dominance will be driven by hardware that feels invisible, yet profoundly powerful.
