Meta is now opening access for third-party developers to develop applications and games that can be displayed on the screen of its smart glasses device, the Meta Ray-Ban Display.
According to an Engadget report on Thursday (May 14), Meta now allows third-party developers to experiment with applications that support the device's Neural Band display and controller.
The company said the platform will support apps that have accompanying Android and iOS mobile apps and will be compatible with web-based apps.
The Meta Ray-Ban Display uses a screen with a 20-degree field of view, not fully immersive like other standalone Augmented Reality (AR) or augmented reality glasses.
Meta seems to be looking for a suitable application for monocular viewing.
Meta Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth shared a video about one of the early apps called "Darkroom Buddy," an interactive guide to the analog film printing process that can be used as a convenient reference on the glasses screen.
The company said that developers can also create streaming media apps, real-time data displays such as game scores or status updates, and micro-apps to display on the smart glasses.
