- The gap between idea and prototype has never been smaller. Add glasses and inputs like the Neural Band, and it feels like the early days of building in a way we haven't seen in over a decade. We're rolling out web apps and a mobile SDK on Meta Ray-Ban Display. Developer Preview to start, but you can build now. … @boztank · Andrew Bosworth
- Meta Ray-Ban Display Developer Preview is starting to roll out! 👓📷 Developers can now build web apps for display glasses using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or extend existing mobile apps with the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit. @dilmerv

- I've had a monopoly on implementing buttons and UI components for Meta Ray-Ban Display for the past couple of years...now it's your turn. Show me what you've got! :) I'm so excited to see what everyone creates! @amyleecodes · Amy Lee
- The agentic coding flow is amazing for this device. I have Claude set up with the Meta Ray-Ban Display webapp plugin and permissions to push to GitHub, and Vercel deploys. My workflow is just chatting with Claude about an idea, and then it's ready for me to test on my glasses in a few minutes. https://developers.meta.com/ ... @beltzner · Mike Beltzner
- Big one today: if you build for the web — or just love vibe coding — you can now build for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. HTML makes this feel immediate: describe an idea, build a commute tracker, teleprompter, score ticker, tutorial, or quick game, and run it as a real web app on glasses. … @iamlocke · Locke Dunn

As someone who has been deep in the Meta XR developer ecosystem for a few years, this doesn't really feel like them panicking to me. It has been the norm for Meta's XR division to announce SDKs and then release them 6 months later. Meta likes to show new products and release

Meta dropped the Ray-Ban Display developer SDK less than a month before WWDC. I am not saying Apple has something massive coming. I am just saying Meta does not panic in public for no reason.
