When it comes to AI glasses, style and fit are just as important as function. At all locations, a dedicated style wall highlights the expansive assortment of glasses from Meta, letting people get a hands-on fit and feel for every frame. For Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses in particular experts will be available to guide people through each device’s native controls and the subtle hand gestures to use when pairing said device with the Meta Neural Band, a unique wearable that can operate glasses via muscle-activated technology
Additionally, get in-real-life access to the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S VR headsets with guided immersive demos, letting people experience their favorite games or movies in theater mode, or the latest High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout like never before.
