Meta will let outside developers create AI-powered apps for its smart glasses

Meta's lineup of smart glasses could soon get a lot more capabilities as it opens its glasses to outside developers.

The company will begin allowing outside developers to bring their apps to its RayBan and Oakley smart glasses, Meta announced on the second day of its Connect event. The company is already working with a set of early partners, like Twitch, which is creating livestreaming capabilities for the glasses, and Disney, which is experimenting with an app for inside its parks. Meta's new set of tools, officially called the "Wearables Device Access Toolkit," will roll out as a limited developer preview ahead of broader availability in 2026.
