Mark Zuckerberg blame bad wi-fi after his demo of smart glasses live becomes horribly Wron

The latest Meta Smart-Glasses range includes the Ray-Ban screen with an integrated lens display, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen Updated and the Oakley Meta Vanguard focused on sport, with $ 799, $ 379 and $ 499 prices, respectively, at Meta Connect 2025.
But Wednesday’s great disclosure was overshadowed by a live demo on the scene that failed several times, culminating by Mark Zuckerberg not being able to respond to a video call via the new neuronal bracelet while ensuring the public “everything that everything is good” in the middle of the Wi-Fi excuses.
What they are
Meta pushes a family on several levels of AI glasses which range from camera and audio-avant models for a new pair with a transparent integrated screen, all centered on a hand-free capture, a Meta AI assistance and a voice or bracelet control. The Ray -Ban display adds a lens reading to see and relies on a neural bracelet for control of subtle gestures, marking the first intelligent Meta consumption glasses with an integrated screen.
Models and price
- Radius display: $ 799, Display See right, controlled via a neural bracelet; Scheduled to be sold on September 30 with two sizes and prescription options.
- Rayear Meta (Gen 2): From $ 379, with an improved 12 megapixel camera, 3K video capture, up to eight hours of typical use, 32 storage gigabytes, IPX4 water resistance and wider lens / frame options; Generation 1 remains at $ 299.
- Oakley Meta Vanguard: $ 499, sports executives with IP67 sustainability, 12 megapixel ultra-large camera up to 3K video, stronger speakers, network of five mics, fitness and fast load integration at 50% in 20 minutes.
Key characteristics
META AI POWERS Vocal question, photos and videos, real-time translation and contextual assistance through the range, the display model extending glancable interactions in the objective itself. A neural bracelet allows subtle finger gestures for control over display glasses, and Meta also highlighted the “conversation focus” audio treatment to better hear voices in live environments.
Reception so far
Early hand covering was significantly optimistic for display glasses, with a criticism of The penis Calling them the best smart glasses has tried to go out and another saying that they “feel like the future”, while noting that they are the product to beat for the category. A wider coverage welcomed practical upgrades and battery gains from generation 2, but also reported the live demo of the High profile AI has wobbly on stage, temperating otherwise strong performance.
Zuckerberg demo failures
During a kitchen segment, the live prompts of the LIVE AI, insisted, the basic ingredients have already been combined, and stages suggested for a sauce that had not been started before the host returned to Zuckerberg citing Wi-Fi problems, which prompted his “all good” to a laughing crowd. “The irony of all this is that you spend years doing technology, then Wi-Fi on the day of the day … Catch you,” said Zuckerberg, laughing. “We will check what he did later.”
Later, when he wore Ray -Bb meta -lunes and the neuronal bracelet, Zuckerberg failed to answer a video call entering the stage despite several attempts, finally abandoned as the ringing continued, with other points of sale noting similar difficulties during the event.
Long -term Paris
Fortune reported on the wider Meta roadmap, including a pair of “Hypernova” intelligent glasses which should use a bracelet controller similar to the ambitious Orion AR project of society, highlighting Meta’s long -term bet on neural wrist interfaces through its laptops. The fact that the wrist interaction model only reflects the approach of the neuronal band only the meta is presented for the Ray-Ban display, suggesting strategic consistency between short-term products and pipeline devices.
