Engineer Gamifies Running on Meta Ray-Ban Display with Ghost Racer App

TL;DR. A software engineer developed a gamified running app for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, allowing users to race a virtual "ghost" of their past performance. - The web app integrates GPX data from Strava to generate ghost racers and game mechanics like coin pickups. - Processing runs directly on the AR glasses, making a bulky phone unnecessary during runs. - This development follows Meta's recent release of display capabilities for developers on its wearable platform.

• A self-developed web app gamifies running on Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.
• The app features a "ghost racer" based on past Strava runs and in-run bonuses.
• The application processes data directly on the glasses, reducing the need for a paired phone.
• This was made possible by Meta's new display capabilities for developers in their toolkit.
