Following the recent unveiling of the Meta Ray-Ban Display, the innovative AR glasses are now accessible in select retail locations across the U.S. and online. These spectacles are crafted to be just as stylish as the already popular Meta Ray-Ban variant, but with an enhanced layer of technology.
Meta Ray-Ban Display is the inaugural product to integrate microphones, speakers, cameras, and a full-color display with a total battery life of up to 30 hours when combined with the charging case. The new spectacles benefit from AI assistance, and to further increase their functionality, Meta pairs them with a Meta Neural Band, which interprets signals from your muscle movements into gestures to manage the glasses. They offer 18 hours of battery life on a single charge and have an IPX7 water rating, providing users with confidence that they can control their glasses anytime and anywhere.
Meta states that the new Ray-Ban Display glasses elevate the features users are already familiar with while encouraging them to remain disconnected from their phones and engaged with the surrounding environment. Here’s everything you should know about them.
Key features of the Meta Ray-Ban Display
Before delving into pricing and release details, let’s explore some of the most significant features available if you opt for a pair of the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses:
– **Meta AI with visuals:** Utilize Meta’s assistant to receive step-by-step guidance as you explore the world, such as how to prepare a recipe using items in your kitchen or how to repair a leaky pipe beneath your sink.
– **Messaging and video calling:** The Meta Ray-Ban Display can display brief texts, WhatsApp messages, or Reels shared by friends. You can also text and send multimedia messages via Meta’s applications.
– **Pedestrian navigation:** Acquire directions without ever needing to withdraw your phone. Choose a destination to receive turn-by-turn walking directions complemented by a visual map on the glasses’ display.
– **Live Captions and translations:** You can view live captions if someone converses in a different language, or have them translated instantaneously.
Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses commence at $799 in Black and Sand variants, and the price includes the Meta Neural Band. Meta indicates plans to broaden this product’s availability to Canada, France, Italy, and the U.K. in early 2026.
