Lumus got a major boost in brand recognition when one of its waveguides was selected for use in the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. But that already feels like old tech now because at CES 2026, the company brought some of its latest components to the show and based on what I saw, they seem poised to seriously elevate the optical quality of the next wave of high-end smartglasses.When the Meta Ray-Ban Displays glasses came out, they wowed users as they were (and still are) one of a handful of smartglassess to feature a full-color in-lens display with at least a…

Gary Neville has furiously criticised Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli over his reaction to Conor Bradley’s horror injury in Liverpool’s 0-0 draw at the Emirates. Arsenal and Liverpool played out a dull, goalless draw in the pouring rain on Thursday night. Gunners fans will be disappointed their team didn’t push harder, but it was ultimately a solid point for both sides. In an otherwise uneventful game, there was a melee late on when Bradley went down with what appeared to be a serious injury. Before the Northern Ireland right-back was stretchered off, Martinelli attempted to push him off the pitch to receive…
While wave upon wave of smartglasses and face-based wearables crash on the shores of CES, traditional glasses really haven’t changed much over the hundreds of years we’ve been using them. The last innovation, arguably, was progressive multifocals that blended near and farsighted lenses — and that was back in the 1950s. It makes sense that autofocusing glasses maker IXI thinks it’s time to modernize glasses.After recently announcing a 22-gram (0.7-ounce) prototype frame, the startup is here in Las Vegas to show off working prototypes of its lenses, a key component of its autofocus glasses, which could be a game-changer.IXI’s glasses…

According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique has emerged as the ‘favourite’ to be Ruben Amorim’s permanent replacement at Manchester United. The Red Devils are planning to appoint an interim replacement for Amorim before bringing in a permanent successor ahead of next season. Club legends Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are currently the leading contenders to take over until the summer, though a decision on Amorim’s short-term replacement has reportedly been ‘delayed’. By taking this route, Man Utd have a greater chance of appointing a high-level manager in the long term, as there are likely to be more…
When Meta first announced its display-enabled smart glasses last year, it teased a handwriting feature that allows users to send messages by tracing letters with their hands. Now, the company is starting to roll it out, with people enrolled in its early access program getting it first,I got a chance to try the feature at CES and it made me want to start wearing my Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses more often. When I reviewed the glasses last year, I wrote about how one of my favorite tings about the neural band is that it reduced my reliance on voice commands.…

So, I encouraged him to tell me three things he likes, generally, so I could give him a rec… “I like something dramatic that makes me laugh rather than something made to make me laugh,” he told me. “I’m not above being on the edge of my seat.
