Meta's smart glasses demos failed at Meta Connect due to technical issues.
Three new smart glasses were introduced: upgraded Ray-Ban Meta, Ray-Ban Display with wristband controller, and Oakley Meta Vanguard.
Live demos failed, including AI not responding to a cooking query and a WhatsApp call not connecting.
Issues were caused by resource management errors and a new bug, not Wi-Fi as initially thought.
A 'race condition' bug caused the WhatsApp call failure, now fixed.
Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth explained the technical failures in detail on Instagram.
Despite demo failures, Bosworth remains confident in the product's functionality.
