Meta Pauses Global Launch of Ray-Ban Display Glasses
Read Full Article: Meta Pauses Global Launch of Ray-Ban Display Glasses
Meta has decided to pause the international expansion of its Ray-Ban Display glasses due to overwhelming demand and limited supply, focusing instead on fulfilling U.S. orders. Originally set to launch in France, Italy, Canada, and the U.K. by early 2026, the plans have been delayed as waitlists already extend well into that year. The smart glasses, which use a Meta Neural Band wristband to detect hand gestures, are receiving new features such as a teleprompter and the ability to transcribe finger-drawn messages. Additionally, Meta is expanding pedestrian navigation capabilities to more U.S. cities, including Denver and Las Vegas. This matters because it highlights the challenges tech companies face in balancing supply and demand while scaling innovative products globally.

Mui Board Gen 2: Sleep Tracking & Gesture Control
Read Full Article: Mui Board Gen 2: Sleep Tracking & Gesture Control
The Mui Board Gen 2 is a smart home controller designed to blend seamlessly into the bedroom environment, featuring a soothing wooden design that uses millimeter-wave sensors for sleep tracking and gesture control. The Mui Calm Sleep Platform can monitor sleep states by detecting changes in posture and breathing without the need for wearable devices, and it aims to enhance sleep quality by adjusting lighting and offering presleep stretching routines. While the accuracy of this technology is still under scrutiny, the platform also promises to respond to vocal cues of tiredness or stress and encourage rest. Gesture control will also be available, allowing users to interact with the device from a distance, with these features expected to be released later this year. This matters because it represents a shift towards more integrated and less intrusive smart home technologies that prioritize user comfort and well-being.
