And the crowd go mild! Meta’s dismal smart glass launch

Last week, Meta’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, hosted a keynote presentation to showcase the latest Meta Connect smart glasses product. The event had a mixed response, with live demonstrations going awry, from Zuckerberg failing to get the glasses’ phone call function to work after four attempts, to an onstage chef accidentally activating hundreds of sets of glasses in the audience by saying ‘Hey Meta, start live AI’ on the mic.
