Meta adds games to Ray-Ban Display smart glasses
What's the story
Meta has added two games to its Ray-Ban smart glasses: GOAT and 2048. The announcement was made by Dilmer, a developer advocate at Meta, on social media platform X. This is the first time that games are being introduced on the Ray-Ban Display, adding a new layer of interaction for users.
Game details
GOAT and 2048 are the 2 new games
The two games, GOAT and 2048, offer a unique blend of color and challenge. In GOAT, players control a cute animal that jumps through levels on floating platforms in a vibrant world. Meanwhile, 2048 is a puzzle game where players combine blocks of numbers to reach the target number. Both games are designed to be played without any controllers.
Gameplay mechanics
Users can control in-game actions using EMG and gestures
To play these games, users will have to use the EMG and gestures of their Ray-Ban smart glasses. A short video shared by Dilmer shows a user wearing a wrist wrap and using thumb movements to control the GOAT's jumps and swipes through blocks in 2048.
Tech specs
The EMG Meta Neural Band is a major highlight
The EMG Meta Neural Band is a major highlight of the new games for Ray-Ban Display. Launched with the glasses last November, it boasts an 18-hour battery life and an IPX7 water rating. The band detects muscle movements and hand gestures, making the gaming experience feel almost "magical."
