Ray-Ban Display glasses embed a transparent display directly in the lens, projecting information into your line of sight without blocking what's in front of you. Think of it as a heads-up display you wear all day. Paired with the Meta Neural Band worn on the wrist, they respond to simple hand gestures — no touchscreen, no voice commands, no reaching for anything. It's a computer you wear, not one you carry.
Retro gaming fans and text adventure enthusiasts
Anyone who grew up navigating the Great Underground Empire by typing commands into a terminal. And anyone who never did but appreciates the idea of a game where the entire world is built from words.
A text adventure that floats in the actual world
Text adventures always asked you to imagine the world around the words. Zork I Tribute closes that gap. The text lives in your environment, not on a screen in front of it. The game is finally rendered in the format it was always meant for.
The complete Zork I experience runs on the display, one passage at a time. Navigate using Meta Neural Band gestures to select your commands. Original stylized typography keeps the classic feel intact while fitting the constraints of the lens. A custom sound design layer runs underneath, making the Great Underground Empire feel less like text on a screen and more like a place you are actually standing in.
An open-source starting point from our team
This is a Baseplate application — one of dozens of open-source foundations built by L+R as part of our alpha partnership with Meta on the Ray-Ban Display platform. Baseplates aren't always finished products. They're minimal, readable, and forkable. Built to show what's possible and give developers a working foundation to learn from and build on.
