Meta Debuts New Smart Glasses with Built-in Display and Gesture Controls

 

Meta has unveiled its most advanced smart glasses yet, the Meta Ray-Ban Display, at its Connect 2025 event. These AI-powered glasses feature a built-in color display in the right lens and introduce gesture-based controls via an innovative EMG “Neural Band” wristband.

Key Features

  • Heads-Up Display: A full-color, high-resolution screen sits in the right lens, showing notifications, messages, navigation, real-time translations, and Meta AI responses. The display is activated only when needed, keeping the classic sunglasses look.

  • Gesture Controls: The included Meta Neural Band wristband reads subtle muscle signals from your hand, allowing you to scroll, select, and interact with the glasses through simple motions such as swiping, pinching, or rotating your wrist.

  • AI-Powered: Users can ask Meta AI to assist, get information, preview photos, and more, all visible directly on the lens display.

  • Camera and Audio: The glasses feature a 12MP camera for 3K video recording, dual open-ear speakers, and six microphones for music, calls, and hands-free interaction.

  • Battery & Build: The glasses offer up to 6 hours of mixed-use battery (with 30h in the charging case), while the wristband offers 18 hours and is built to be rugged (IPX7 water resistance and Vectran fibers—the same material used on Mars Rovers).

  • Release & Pricing: Available September 30, 2025, in the US at $799, initially in select stores including Best Buy and Ray-Ban retailers.

Other Models and Ecosystem

  • Meta also launched an updated version of the basic Ray-Ban AI glasses and introduced the Oakley Meta Vanguard, aimed at athletes and outdoors enthusiasts.

  • The new devices allow users to send messages, make calls, get directions, and even see live captions and real-time speech translations right on the lens.

Why This Matters

Meta’s Ray-Ban Display glasses are a major leap in wearable innovation, blending AI, AR, and design. With gesture controls and an always-available display, they aim to put a futuristic “personal super intelligence” directly in front of your eyes, making a phone-free future just a little more real.

Summary:
The Meta Ray-Ban Display marks Meta’s boldest step yet into smart eyewear, featuring an in-lens color display, gesture control via a neural wristband, smart audio, and a robust design, all tuned for AI-powered on-the-go interaction. Available in the US from September 30 for $799.
