Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses Demo Goes Awry, Raises Questions About Future of Computing

Meta's latest product demos at Meta Connect failed to impress, with a cooking assistant glitching out and a WhatsApp video call refusing to surface on the new in-lens display. CEO Mark Zuckerberg blamed the conference's Wi-Fi, while the company's CTO, Andrew Bosworth, acknowledged they "missed an opportunity for legendary status." The failed demos stung because the pitch was audacious and coherent, but fans saw a fixable glitch while skeptics questioned the value of the expensive technology.
