Meta’s Reality Labs posted a $4.62 billion loss in the second quarter on $431 million in revenue, a figure narrower than analysts’ $5.07 billion loss on $423.4 million revenue. The unit, which develops Quest VR headsets and Ray‑Ban Meta glasses, has burned over $80 billion in operating losses since 2020 as Meta presses on with its virtual-reality and wearables push.

Meta has started rolling out AI features for its Ray-Ban Meta AR glasses in France, Italy, and Spain, allowing users to interact with Meta's AI assistant in their native languages. However, these features do not include the multimodal capabilities available in other regions. The rollout follows Meta's efforts to comply with European regulations, including the AI Act and GDPR, which have previously led to concerns and adjustments in their data training practices. Meta plans to expand these features to more European countries in the future.
The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have received a Version 2.0 software update, bringing improvements to camera imagery and volume controls. The update includes enhancements to image quality and global volume control, as well as security and stability improvements. However, the AI-powered image recognition feature is still missing, and some users are unable to access the beta testing. The update takes a few minutes to install and requires a power cycle for optimal performance. The glasses start at around $300.
The recently released Ray-Ban Meta glasses, part of Meta's ambition to shift computing towards wearable face computers, have raised concerns about privacy and distraction. Equipped with cameras and microphones, the glasses allow users to discreetly capture photos and videos of strangers. While the glasses include an LED light to indicate recording, the reporter found that people rarely noticed or confronted them. Additionally, the glasses caused distractions and safety concerns, such as the glare from headlights while driving. Despite their stylish design, the glasses offer little functionality beyond what smartphones already provide, making the potential costs of lost privacy and distraction outweigh the benefits for most consumers.
