OK, Curry.
That’s a daring, hyperbolic declare, however in step with feedback made by Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, who’s an enormous believer in good glasses — the founder has even predicted this know-how will in the future substitute cellphones.
Zuckerberg has been the most important booster of Meta’s good glasses, and he typically wears the glasses throughout panels and occasions. Like different main tech corporations, Meta is investing closely in its good glasses tech.
Samsung and Google are each engaged on their very own good glasses know-how, each individually and collectively. Apple can also be rumored to be exploring good glasses.
