Meta's next-gen smart glasses could get 'super-sensing' vision: What is it
Meta is reportedly developing a 'super-sensing' vision technology for smart glasses that could enable advanced real-time recognition of people, objects, and environments. According to a report by The Verge, citing The Information, the new Meta smart glasses — currently under development under the codenames 'Aperol' and 'Bellini' — are expected to feature this AI-powered visual ability.
Meta's super-sensing vision
The new technology would allow Meta's smart glasses to identify people by name through facial recognition and trigger context-aware reminders. For instance, the AI could remind users to grab their keys if it notices they have not, or prompt them to pick up groceries when passing a store.
To support these features, the glasses would need to keep their onboard cameras and sensors continuously active — something Meta has reportedly started testing on its current-generation Ray-Ban smart glasses. However, it is said that battery drain has proven to be a significant hurdle, which is why Meta is likely targeting the feature for its next-generation models with improved power efficiency.
New Meta smart glasses
While specific details on the upcoming models remain limited, previous reports indicate that the next-generation Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses will include a small display integrated into the lower section of the right lens. This would enable a heads-up AR-like experience — allowing users to view notifications, run lightweight apps, and see images directly within their line of sight.
Regarding input, these glasses are expected to support touch controls along the temple, and Meta is also developing a wrist-worn controller to offer additional interaction options. This wrist device is said to be similar to the one shown off with Meta's Orion AR prototype glasses last year.
In addition to the Ray-Ban partnership, Meta is also reportedly working on a new line of smart glasses in collaboration with Oakley — another eyewear brand under the EssilorLuxottica umbrella, which also owns Ray-Ban.
Competition
Apple is said to be working on a new pair of smart glasses similar in concept to Meta Ray-Ban glasses. These glasses are expected to use a custom chip based on the Apple Watch processor and could feature multiple built-in cameras. Apple plans to integrate Siri and its upcoming Visual Intelligence AI system to enable real-time scene recognition and contextual assistance.
Samsung is also reportedly working on a pair of smart glasses with the project name "Haean." Similar to its upcoming Project Moohan XR headset, the smart glasses are expected to be based on Google's Android XR platform.

WWDC 2025: Apple To Cover Lot Of Ground Around Operating System, AI Upgrades
New Delhi: Apple is likely to cover a lot of ground around comprehensive operating system upgrades and a unified system front at its annual 'WWDC 2025' conference this month, and needs to make a big impact when it comes to AI features, according to analysts. The AI features are expected to be ramped up around use cases, on-device convenience, in-cloud options, personal context awareness, AI ecosystem integration and other broad customisations. According to a Counterpoint Research report, Apple needs to provide a powerful signal that it is ready to ship some meaningful updates, 'or have a good story to explain why it has been lagging behind'. Apple Intelligence 2.0 likely to be one of the most anticipated topics at WWDC 2025 from June 9-13. Apple has the potential to provide an 'Agentic AI'-based platform with a deeper Siri context-based experience which could help Apple regain ground in the AI race. According to a recent Counterpoint study, 84 per cent of iPhone users are willing to pay for Apple Intelligence. The tech industry as well as consumers are expecting Apple to focus on breakthrough software enhancements during the event, said the report. 'All eyes are on the 2025 edition. Apart from visual, functional and other comprehensive product changes across operating systems, the spotlight is on Apple Intelligence. Apple is expected to double down on its AI strategy hereon,' said Counterpoint. The industry is seeing an ongoing Agentic AI arms race. This is an emerging field and those who deliver will shift the GenAI smartphone conversation, turning the smartphone from a simple communication device to a truly intelligent, autonomous companion. At the event, the market will be looking for more on-device processing, more intelligence and context awareness – all delivered with deeper Siri integration. Apple service revenues have consistently grown over the last few years. Some services that comprise the Apple One Package subscription offering are essential for Apple product users. For example, iCloud is one of the most-used services in the Apple portfolio. Apple has also marketed itself as a brand that takes data privacy and security seriously.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to Computer Science students: All of us are going to be more ...
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has shared an advice for aspiring tech professionals. The CEO recently appeared in a conversation with tech YouTuber Sajjaad Khade where he urged students to focus on building strong fundamentals in computational thinking , even as AI shapes the software industry. He stressed that despite AI's growing role in coding, the ability to break down problems logically and design systematic solutions remains essential. However, he warned that even with AI, success still depends on giving clear, structured instructions—a skill that blends technical knowledge with systems thinking. 'The path to being that software architect gets speeded up,' Nadella said, adding that soon, 'All of us are going to be more software architects.' Getting fundamentals of software is important: Satyla Nadella During the conversation , Khade asked Nadella: 'In this world of AI, if I'm a beginner, just want to break into tech, what's your number one piece of advice?' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo Nadella replied saying: 'Just getting real fundamentals of software (if you're a software engineer), I think matters a lot.' Adding further, he said 'To me, having the ability to think computationally (is important).' Nadella explained using his own example saying he was able to fix a bug by just assigning it to the CoPilot coding agent. 'Except I was thinking about it, it was a pretty cool issue, right? The issue was I did a filter, which was basically a percentile.. Creating a feature. But then I said, "Oh man, this is, like, you know, I could, you know, recount what is a SQL, right?' When Satya Nadella revealed that up to 30% of Microsoft's code is now written by AI During a conversation with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier this year, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that AI now writes up to 30% of Microsoft's code base. 'I'd say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,' Nadella then said.

Apple WWDC 2025: Expectation of next gen OSes, and an imperative AI question
Next week will be ushered in by the annual Apple Worldwide Developer Conference keynote, traditionally a showcase of the company's software vision, developer focus, and in a continued trend for last year, the question about the direction the tech giant intends to take with artificial intelligence (AI). The hardware announcements, though rare, haven't historically been entirely off the agenda — Apple Silicon and Vision Pro being some examples — and that adds an element of intrigue. One question many will ask in the lead-up is, when is the next-generation Siri finally landing? An answer to that, may define how the market reacts, post the keynote. After all, Siri cannot be seen lagging, as Google Gemini, OpenAI's GPT, and Anthropic's Claude models, make substantive forward leaps, periodically. The big expectation revolves around multiple-layered changes across the OS lines. The iOS for iPhone, iPadOS for the iPad, macOS for the Mac portfolio and watchOS are expected to get significant visual overhaul. The aesthetic changes are likely to be designed to add even greater uniformity across the platforms, with the idea being a switch from the current interface, to something that's closer to what's referred to in design circles as 'glassmorphism'. It is designed to bring a sense of light and space to the interface elements, with the transparency adding a sense of depth. It will be interesting to see to what extent Apple overhauls its core apps, particularly on iOS — Phone, Messages, Notes, Safari and Camera. Some may get more than a new coat of paint, and our estimate would be a higher degree of changes await Safari and Phone, also to keep up with the ecosystem in general. Could Apple shift to a year-based naming scheme, instead of the current generational numbering? Rumours seem to indicate iOS 26 is on the agenda (signifying the year 2026, though curiously, it'll release later in 2025). Updates for iPadOS are expected to be significant this time, a means to an end that is to bring the iPad when paired with a Magic Keyboard, closer to a MacBook-esque user experience. Could we see the introduction of Finder for instance, or some of the macOS staples such as the Preview app for PDF handling, on an iPad too. If that were to happen, we'd have the perfect touchscreen MacBook — and it'll be called the iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard. The question is, if it'll mean iPadOS adopts two distinct personalities (and interfaces), where a one similar to the current iPadOS is in use without a keyboard, and a Mac-like interface, when a keyboard is? AI question: what does Apple have in store? This is a fork in the road, one that must be navigated carefully, and it'll be intriguing to see which path Apple takes with regard to an inevitable AI question. While expectations would hope for wholesale Apple Intelligence updates, that is very unlikely. Expect Apple to smartly deploy its large language models smartly, by involving developers as well as adding new functionality across devices and software. That is, instead of trying to compete with the rapid pace of evolving the likes of Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity have shown, in recent months. The last thing Apple would want is for an AI conversation to come across as unimpressive, particularly to the markets. Using AI models to integrate a live translation feature across Phone and third-party apps such as WhatApp and Zoom, and one that also works on the AirPods, could well be on the agenda. Could Apple open up its foundation models for third-party developers, to build their takes on AI functionality that may complement the pieces of the puzzle Apple already has in place — Writing Tools, AI summaries, and Clean Up, for instance. More to that point, updated and more parameter laden foundation models could be released, with the flexibility of on-device as well as server side processing. In April this year, Google CEO Sundar Pichai during the monopoly trial clearly said that the company expects to have a deal in place with Apple to build Gemini into Apple Intelligence sometime this year — that would be alongside Apple Intelligence's launch partner, OpenAI's GPT models. If and when this integration happens, Gemini on the basis of its incredibly powerful models (some recent updates have reset certain experiential benchmarks) will give Apple Intelligence a significant upgrade in terms of capabilities across the board — a smarter Siri, camera based features that could replicate Gemini Live, and AI based search in Safari. Could Apple and Google announce this at the WWDC keynote on Monday night? The looming shadow of Google's antitrust proceedings, and till the US Justice Department pronounces a verdict, may pose a complication. Could this be shelved till the iPhone keynote, expected in September? Google itself stands to lose a little if Samsung (being by far the largest Android phone OEM) reduces reliance on Gemini which itself received significant updates recently, with the Perplexity partnership. Perplexity, which already has deals in place with Samsung and Motorola to integrate their AI in upcoming phones, could have something to offer Apple as well. It will certainly be more than just a search plug-in, if that partnership has to fructify. Could that mean Perplexity's agentic browser vision intersects with Safari, for instance? Very much a chance of that happening. Case in point, Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of services saying during the Google antitrust trial that, 'We've been pretty impressed with what Perplexity has done, so we've started some discussions with them about what they're doing.' What are the analysts predicting? On Friday, analysts at Wedbush maintained a $270.00 price target on Apple Inc., ahead of the WWDC keynote — they hope Apple will be able to take enough steps with the AI proposition, to be able to monetise it, which will weave into the consistently strong services bundle for the tech giant. Morgan Stanley has set a target price of $235 for Apple, noting significant growth in App Store revenue could add as much as $110 million in the June quarter. In the early trading Friday, Apple stocks held at $204.
