Ray-Ban Meta’s new ‘Scriber’ and ‘Blazer’ glasses recently passed through the FCC, suggesting an upcoming release. Meta and EssilorLuxottica, partners in the development of AI glasses, are poised to launch the next generation of Ray-Ban AI eyewear. FCC filings for two new Meta Ray-Ban designs were made public earlier this month.
These documents describe the devices as production units, indicating a possible imminent launch. Typically, Meta unveiled its second-generation Ray-Bans shortly after passing FCC approval in late 2023.
Meta has not yet commented on the matter.
The FCC filings are highly redacted, leaving details about the glasses’ appearance and features unclear. However, the documents revealed marketing names for the new models: “RayBan Meta Scriber” and “RayBan Meta Blazer.” The “Blazer” will be available in regular and large sizes.
The filings mention a charging case, implying that the new Ray-Bans will include a portable charging option. The model numbers, RW7001 for Blazer and RW7002 for Scriber, indicate a significant update compared to previous models, suggesting a hardware upgrade with a probable new chipset.
Unlike current Ray-Bans, the new models use the Wi-Fi 6 UNII-4 band, enhancing reliability for high-speed data transfers, beneficial for livestreaming and AI features requiring live video.
Ray-Ban AI glasses have been successful for Meta and EssilorLuxottica, with sales exceeding seven million pairs last year. Combined sales for 2023 and 2024 were two million units. Manufacturing capacity is expected to increase to 20–30 million units annually by the year-end, as reported by Bloomberg.
In 2025, Meta expanded its relationship with EssilorLuxottica, introducing Oakley-branded AI glasses and Ray-Ban Display glasses with a monocular display.
“Our glasses sales more than tripled last year, perhaps marking them as one of the fastest-growing consumer electronics in history,” stated Mark Zuckerberg during the latest earnings call. “We are focusing our investments in Reality Labs towards glasses and wearables.”
In tandem with this strategy shift, Meta has reduced VR spending. The company laid off 1,000 Reality Labs employees, closed several VR game studios, and made further job cuts. Initially, Meta intended to discontinue its Horizon Worlds VR project, but reversed the decision following VR user appeals.
