Mark Zuckerberg shares videos of himself wakeboarding with Ray-Ban Meta glasses: ‘My glasses didn’t even burn’ – Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META)

Meta Platforms Inc. META CEO Mark Zuckerberg is back on the water after six months and is celebrating an important milestone, this time with a special device – the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

What happened: Zuckerberg took Facebook on Friday to reveal that he is back on the foil and that his Ray-Ban Meta The glasses survived the experience unscathed.

“6 months post-op and happy to be able to wear the foil again. And I didn't even burn my Ray-Ban Meta glasses while shooting video!”

Zuckerberg posted two videos he shot with the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While the video quality isn't top-notch and there is some lag, the overall quality is decent considering the device used to film him wakeboarding.

Why it is important: Zuckerberg's post is more than a personal update. It's another step in a series of updates with which the CEO of Meta Platforms brings the Ray-Ban Meta glasses into the conversation.

He has already criticized Vision Pro by Apple Inc. because they lack a display, calling them “fashionable AI glasses without a display.” His latest post subtly highlights the functionality and technological edge of Meta’s products.

Zuckerberg also called Meta's Quest 3 “the better product, period” after trying out Apple's Vision Pro. Meta's chief technology officer also joined the discussion, supporting Zuckerberg's criticism of the Vision Pro and commenting on its weight distribution.

In early May, Stanford researchers unveiled a new prototype of AR glasses that are significantly slimmer than the Apple Vision Pro. They claim that they are also of higher quality than existing models on the market.
