Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s much-anticipated demo of Meta\u2019s new AI glasses tanked Wednesday at the Connect 2025 keynote, with glitches playing out in front of a packed audience.<\/p>\n

The device, called Meta Ray-Ban Display is priced at $799 and has been pitched as a breakthrough in wearable “agentic AI” with digital assistants that act on behalf of users.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Zuckerberg’s<\/a> two demo fails left Meta\u2019s new glasses looking slightly less polished in front of hundreds.<\/p>\n

The keynote, held at Meta\u2019s Silicon Valley headquarters, was billed as the coming-out party for the long-rumored “Hypernova” glasses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At first, Zuckerberg showed off a live view through the new glasses and replied to texts using small wrist motions. But the showcase went south.<\/p>\n

Cooking creator\u00a0Jack Mancuso joined Zuckerberg onstage to try the glasses’ new\u00a0LiveAI feature, which is supposed to walk users through recipes step by step.<\/p>\n

One member of the audience, Tech Radar’s Lance Ulanoff <\/a>said Zuckerberg’s presentation included some very big fails.<\/p>\n

“The AI was clearly confused and jumping around,” said Ulanoff.<\/p>\n

“The developers tell him to never run live demos, and he just keeps doing it because when you’re at a keynote, there are thousands of people all on the Wi-Fi at the same time, which means things can go wrong.”<\/p>\n

According to Ulanoff, other big tech firms don’t do live presentations.<\/p>\n

“Apple no longer does live presentations at their keynotes for this reason,” he said.<\/p>\n

“They have Tim Cook come out for two seconds, so maybe a minute, and then he goes behind the stage, and we watch a pre-made video where they have total control.”<\/p>\n

Instead, the assistant repeatedly skipped ahead, refusing to answer the simple question, “What do I do first?”<\/p>\n

After failed attempts, Mancuso blamed the Wi-Fi before tossing the segment back to Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

The second stumble came during a showcase of the Neural Band. Zuckerberg successfully sent and received a text from Meta CTO\u00a0<\/strong>Andrew Bosworth.<\/p>\n

But when Bosworth attempted to initiate a WhatsApp video call, the glasses would not pick it up.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg fumbled with the interface before giving up. Bosworth eventually walked onstage, joking about “brutal Wi-Fi” as the audience laughed.<\/p>\n

“You practice these things like a hundred times, and then you never know what\u2019s gonna happen,” Zuckerberg said.<\/p>\n

Despite the onstage glitches, Zuckerberg framed the glasses as a leap forward in AI-powered personal technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the devices represent Meta\u2019s vision of a future where\u00a0wearable AI assistants anticipate needs and handle tasks with minimal user effort.<\/p>\n

“Mark has enthusiasm, and so he was willing to take the risk, but, unfortunately, in a couple of instances, it didn’t go his way,” added Ulanoff.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure Mark Zuckerberg felt extremely uncomfortable, but I give him credit for maintaining his calm and making a joke about it all.”<\/p>\n
