Disney Deploys Meta Ray‑Ban Glasses In Parks

Disney executives teased in a recent YouTube clip a rollout of Meta Ray‑Ban AI glasses at its theme parks, partnering with Meta to offer guests and staff hands‑free augmented experiences. The glasses, priced between $239 and $799, include cameras, microphones and speakers and will provide guest-facing virtual guides, product information and behind‑the‑scenes previsualization tools, executives said. Social media users criticized the plan, and Disney gave no timeline for availability.
