"Since launching in September, smart glasses continue to be a hot commodity. Within the first hours of open sales, demo reservations -- which are required to purchase the wearable -- were being pushed to a month or two later. To assist with Meta's efforts, Verizon will be selling Ray-Ban Displays across its nationwide stores starting today."
"The $800 smart glasses are Meta's first market-ready wearables with a built-in display and neural wristband. The big selling point is the ability to overlay helpful context and UI as the user pinches and swipes their fingers to navigate; think responding to a text message without needing to pull out your phone, or visualizing pathways as you're exploring a city."
"What's the deal with Verizon? Currently, Verizon has the listed at $799, the same price that you'll find them if purchased directly from Meta, which is great. Perusing the carrier's landing page, there don't appear to be any prerequisites or commitment plans tied to the product, so you can think of it like buying from any other retailer."
Verizon will sell Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses across its nationwide stores, with demo reservations required to purchase. The glasses cost about $799-$800, matching Meta's direct price, and appear to have no carrier-plan prerequisites or commitments. The Ray-Ban Display includes a built-in display, a neural wristband, and a waveguide to enable mixed-reality overlays. Users can pinch and swipe to navigate UI, respond to messages without a phone, and view contextual visualizations while exploring. The glasses also include a 12-megapixel ultrawide sensor for eye-level photos and video. High initial demand has pushed demo slots weeks out.
