Meta has unveiled its latest innovation – the Ray-Ban Display smart glasses – at the Connect 2025 event, redefining wearable AI. These glasses combine sleek design with intelligent features, offering users a hands-free digital experience. The Ray-Ban Display glasses will be available starting September 30, 2025, at limited brick-and-mortar retail stores in the USA. The estimated price will be $799, including the Neural Band. This bundle offers a complete AI-powered wearable experience.
Key Features and Functionality
The glasses include a high-resolution display in the right lens, enabling users to read texts, view maps, and take calls. A 12MP camera captures sharp photos and videos, while built-in speakers deliver audio carefully. The glasses support apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram DMs, and Spotify, keeping users connected on the move.
Gesture Control with Neural Band
Paired with Meta’s Neural Band wristband, users can control the glasses using subtle finger gestures. You can scroll through messages, adjust volume, or “write” in the air – making interaction seamless and intuitive.
Additional Product: Oakley Meta Vanguard
Meta also introduced the Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses, designed for athletes. Priced at $499, they feature Garmin and Strava integration for real-time fitness tracking and performance insights.
Limitations to Consider
Despite its innovation, the product has limitations. Battery life may be short with continuous use, and privacy concerns arise due to constant audio-visual capture. The single-lens display may affect visual comfort, and app compatibility is currently limited.
Conclusion
Meta’s smart glasses represent a bold step toward immersive, wearable AI. As adoption grows, refinements will shape the future of hands-free digital living.
