Want to see what step-by-step guidance could look like on smart glasses, but don’t have a pair to try? You can start in your browser.
The Meta Ray-Ban Display Simulator is a Chrome extension from Meta that recreates the glasses’ 600 × 600 display. It gives you a way to preview compatible web experiences on your computer before trying them on the hardware.
Install the simulator
Use Chrome on your computer, then:
- Open the Meta Ray-Ban Display Simulator in the Chrome Web Store.
- Check that the extension is offered by Meta, then select Add to Chrome.
- Review the installation prompt and confirm that you want to add the extension.
Once installed, look for Meta Ray-Ban Display Simulator in Chrome’s Extensions menu. Pinning it to the toolbar can make it easier to find next time.
Try a NuManual example project
Visit NuManual, choose an example project, and open its web experience. With that page open, launch the simulator from Chrome’s Extensions menu or its pinned toolbar icon.
Use the simulator’s on-screen directional pad, or its supported keyboard controls, to move through the guidance. The available actions will depend on the project you open. As you explore, think about which instructions would be most useful to have in view while your hands stay on the task.
Try different environment backgrounds and brightness settings to see how they affect readability. Remember that this is a browser preview, not a replacement for testing comfort, visibility, or interaction on physical glasses.
