Mark Zuckerberg took the stage at Meta’s Connect 2025 event to introduce the company’s latest wearable product, the Meta Ray-Ban Display.
The smart glasses are designed to serve as hands-free artificial intelligence (AI) assistants. However, the live demonstration did not proceed as planned, with several glitches affecting the presentation, according to a September 18 report by Fox Business.
During the first part of the showcase, Zuckerberg used the glasses to display a live feed and respond to text messages using small wrist gestures.

Things took a turn when creator Jack Mancuso joined him to test a feature called LiveAI. This tool is meant to guide users through tasks like cooking by giving step-by-step voice instructions.
Instead, the assistant skipped steps and failed to respond to simple questions. Mancuso pointed to possible Wi-Fi problems before stepping aside.
Later in the presentation, Zuckerberg demonstrated another feature using the Neural Band, a wrist-worn control device. He was able to send and receive a message from Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s CTO.
However, when Bosworth attempted a video call via WhatsApp, the glasses did not respond. Zuckerberg attempted to fix the issue but eventually stopped. Bosworth walked onstage and joked about the weak Wi-Fi, which lightened the mood.
Despite the setbacks, Zuckerberg described the glasses as a step toward everyday AI tools that can assist with tasks with minimal input.
Recently, Amazon introduced Lens Live, a new feature that blends visual search with AI. How does it work? Read the full story.
