# Meta Ray-Ban Display apps (developer preview)

Meta's route for third-party apps on the Meta Ray-Ban Display. Developers can build web apps with standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with access to phone GPS, motion data and Neural Band input. They can also use a native iOS and Android toolkit to extend an existing phone app onto the glasses with text, images, lists, buttons and video.
