Meta has unveiled its latest innovations in wearable technology with the debut of the Ray-Ban Display and the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) smart glasses during the Meta Connect 2025 event.
The Ray-Ban Display glasses come with a 600 × 600-pixel full-color heads-up display embedded in the right lens. With a 90Hz refresh rate, 20-degree field of view, and brightness up to 5,000 nits, the glasses offer sharp visuals even in bright conditions. The display can show WhatsApp and Messenger notifications, video calls, Spotify playback, real-time translations, AI-powered responses, and navigation.
Supporting these smart glasses is the Meta Neural Band, a gesture-controlled sEMG wristband with IPX7 water resistance and up to 18 hours of battery life.
In terms of hardware, the Ray-Ban Display includes a 12MP ultra-wide camera capable of 3K video at 30fps, six microphones, two open-ear speakers, and up to 6 hours of usage per charge. The charging case extends battery life to 24 hours. With 32GB storage, 2GB RAM, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and prescription lens support, these glasses retail at $799 in the US, launching September 30, and expanding to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK in 2026.
Meanwhile, the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses offer up to 8 hours of battery life, 50% charge in 20 minutes, and up to 48 hours with the case. They now support 3K video recording at 60fps and will soon include hyperlapse, slow-motion recording, and Conversation Focus for enhanced voice isolation. Priced at $379, the Gen 2 glasses are available now in Wayfarer, Skyler, and Headliner designs.
