Hi everyone,
The wait is over, we’re excited to announce you can now build for Meta Ray-Ban Display!
Availability is currently rolling out starting today over the next couple weeks.
In Developer Preview, you can now build visual overlays and standalone apps with two build paths:
Device Access Toolkit for iOS and Android apps
With the Device Access Toolkit v0.7 released today, you can now add display UI components including text, images, lists, buttons, and video playback. Combined with the existing toolkit capabilities: camera, audio, and display, the Device Access Toolkit gives mobile developers deep hardware integration.
Read more in our developer docs, iOS and Android changelogs.
Web Apps
Web apps offer a new path for developers who want to build standalone experiences from scratch using standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can build games, transit tools, cooking guides, grocery list overlays, instrument practice aids, and more with access to motion and orientation data, phone GPS, input from the Meta Neural Band and local storage. Because it's web-native, iteration is fast: build and preview in your browser, then deploy to your glasses via a URL. This path is ideal for rapid prototyping, lightweight utilities, and entirely new categories of on-device experiences.
Read more in our developer docs.
Get started
Availability is rolling out starting today, see linked documentation for full details:
Display Recording
In the new Meta Ray-Ban Display firmware rolling out starting today, you can also now do display recording! We recommend sharing your projects videos using that feature online and on this dedicated subreddit.
