Meta has announced that its smart glasses will finally be able to host third-party apps powered by artificial intelligence. ​This innovation transforms glasses from a simple accessory into an open platform, capable of integrating visual recognition, voice commands, and real-time AI assistance.

This development represents a significant step forward for the industry: smart glasses are becoming a practical and accessible gateway to light augmented reality, paving the way for much broader professional and everyday applications.
