Smart Glasses with a Twist: Meta's New Ray-Ban Display

USATue Sep 16 2025

Meta is collaborating with Ray-Ban on an innovative new product. This isn't just any collaboration—it involves a monocular heads-up display (HUD) that appears over the right eye.

Design and Features

The glasses have a distinctive look, being thicker, especially on the sides. This design is necessary to accommodate the display. Meta has been testing these glasses with several advanced features:

  • Voice Commands
  • Turn-by-Turn Directions
  • Message Reading
  • Real-Time Translations

Pairing with a Wristband

These glasses can be paired with a special sEMG wristband, previously known as the “Neural” wristband from Meta's Orion AR concept. This wristband enhances the glasses' functionality, making them even more intelligent.

Price and Release Date

Rumors suggest the glasses will cost around $800. Earlier leaks indicated a 2026 release, but a new video suggests Meta might unveil them sooner.

Meta Connect 2025

Meta Connect 2025 is set for September 17, and everyone is eager to see what Meta has in store. Will these new Ray-Ban glasses steal the show? Only time will tell.
