That’s it, Meta Connect 2025 is done and dusted, and it was a jam-packed under-an-hour show filled to the brim with smart glasses galore that we can’t wait to sink our teeth into.

The star of the show was, of course, the new Meta Ray-Ban Display, which finally added a screen to the Ray-Ban smart glasses we know and love. We also got to see new Oakley Vanguard smart glasses that look perfect for sports, Gen 2 Ray-Ban smart glasses that offer a handful of upgrades over what’s come before, and James Cameron almost spoiled the next Quest headset before Mark Zuckerberg ran away with Diplo.
