"Meta on Wednesday unveiled a new pair of Ray-Ban branded smart glasses with a built-in display for apps, alerts, and directions on the right lens. The smart glasses are controlled by a wristband that picks up on subtle hand gestures, called Meta Neural Band, the same one it unveiled at last year's Connect as part of its Orion demo. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the new product, called Ray-Ban Meta Display, onstage at the company's annual developer conference, Meta Connect 2025."
"Unlike Orion, Zuckerberg says this is a product that people can buy in a couple of weeks, and they'll cost $800. This is Meta's latest attempt to ship a pair of consumer smart glasses that can handle many of the tasks users traditionally do on a smartphone. For years, Meta has been forced to reach users through its competitors' devices, namely those sold by Google and Apple."
Meta launched the Ray-Ban Meta Display, a pair of Ray-Ban branded smart glasses with a built-in display on the right lens for apps, alerts, directions, and live translations. The glasses pair with a Meta Neural Band wristband that detects subtle hand gestures to navigate apps; the band offers 18 hours of battery life and water resistance. The Ray-Ban Meta Display includes an on-board AI assistant, cameras, speakers, and microphones, and connects to the cloud for internet and social apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook. The product builds on prior Ray-Ban Meta sales with EssilorLuxottica and will sell for $800.
