Meta Unveils New Ray-Ban Smart Glasses with Built-in Display Meta on Wednesday introduced a new set of Ray-Ban smart glasses featuring a built-in display on the right lens for apps, notifications, and directions. These smart glasses are operated using a wristband called Meta Neural Band, which detects subtle hand gestures and was first showcased at last year's Connect event as part of the Orion demo. CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed the new product, named Meta Ray-Ban Display, at the Meta Connect 2025 developer conference. Unlike Orion, Zuckerberg mentioned that this product will be available for purchase in a few weeks, starting September 30, at a price of $799. This launch signifies Meta's ongoing efforts to release consumer-friendly smart glasses capable of performing various tasks typically done on smartphones. Despite investing heavily in virtual reality headsets, Meta sees AI-powered smart glasses as a promising avenue to engage users through its own hardware. Building on the success of the original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, Meta Ray-Ban Display includes an AI assistant, cameras, speakers, and microphones. Users can connect to the internet and social media apps via the cloud using these glasses, similar to the Ray-Ban Meta model.

The glasses also offer features such as direction viewing and real-time translations on the display. Accompanying the device is the Neural Band, resembling a Fitbit but without a screen, enabling users to navigate apps using subtle hand motions. Zuckerberg noted that the Meta Neural Band boasts 18 hours of battery life and is water-resistant. By utilizing electromyography (EMG) to interpret signals between the brain and hand during gestures, Meta anticipates this interface to revolutionize device control for users.

Reports from CNBC and Bloomberg had hinted at the reveal of these smart glasses, which were codenamed Hypernova, at this year's Connect conference. It's important to note that the Meta Ray-Ban Display is less advanced compared to the Orion smart glasses presented at Connect 2024. While Orion featured augmented reality lenses and eye-tracking technology, the Ray-Ban Display opts for a simpler display. The availability of Orion for purchase may still be years away. Despite the competition, Meta aims to lead the smart glasses market by being the first to offer a tangible product. However, Google and Apple are expected to launch their own smart glasses in the future, potentially integrating seamlessly with their operating systems and gaining a competitive edge over Meta.
