Meta: Privacy-infringing highly unethical advertisement giant. Ray-Ban: Overly expensive eyewear brand, that diminishes itself with this integration. An unholy marriage. I for one am happy with the growing resistance to these spyware glasses, and in more and more places I encounter these BanRay [0] stickers to indicate they are not welcome in a store or office space.
Someone walked into our office wearing them. They were given a written warning. They are not welcome at a social level and they are a tangible security risk.

Is that the only device that this library could be used for?
Apple, Google, and even privacy-respecting companies are putting these out in the next year or two, as well.
What is the current take on that spectrum of offering?

Not the only device it could serve, just the only one it serves well today, on purpose.
It's scoped to the Meta Ray-Ban Display because that's the first mainstream glasses platform you can actually buy and ship apps for(Meta released the SDK a few weeks ago).
But the foundations are patterns every one of these devices shares, so when Apple, Android XR, or others ship, what changes is mostly a device profile (viewport, input, contrast, nav, device APIs) while the component and hook abstractions carry over.
The plan is to be the de-facto toolkit for the first real platform, then generalize as the others actually exist.
So yes I would love to support them as well :)

I wasn’t aware Apple announced an offering.
Regardless, the general sentiment about this hardware is obviously not great, anecdotally I know zero people who own these (or they at least refuse to wear them), and they are exceptionally rare in both US major metros I frequent.
Perhaps their popularity exists moreso in print than reality?

That’s a new topic.
Can’t judge popularity until the stuff exists somewhat widely.
Most roadmaps are for 2026+,
so we’ll know if they’re popular by 2027.
I am very interested in the commercial uses (HUD while inside an electrical panel is a big one I’m looking at).
