Meta Leapfrogs Into In-Lens Displays with New Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Meta has unveiled its newest smart glasses in collaboration with Ray-Ban, introducing an in-lens display and advanced AI integrations that mark a significant upgrade over earlier generations. These glasses, priced at US$799, are set to go on sale in the U.S. from 30 September 2025 with wider global availability in 2026. The standout innovation is a built-in display embedded in the right lens, which allows for augmented reality (AR)-style interactions: navigation, messaging, video calls, translations, captions, etc. A supporting Neural Band (“wristband”) detects electrical impulses from the arm to enable gesture-based controls such as selection, swipes, or “typing” motions with fingers. Beyond the display and gesture band, these glasses retain many of the features of earlier Ray-Ban Meta models: open-ear speakers, multiple microphones, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. There are more than 150 frame and lens combinations via Ray-Ban’s customization platform, prescription-lens compatibility, and new styles (e.g. Skyler and Wayfarer). The glasses feature a full-color, monocular heads-up display embedded in the right lens, with a resolution of 600×600 pixels, a 20-degree field of view, and about 42 pixels per degree. The refresh rate of the display itself is 90Hz (though content is rendered at about 30Hz), and its brightness range spans from roughly 30 to 5,000 nits, offering strong visibility in both dim and bright conditions. Under the hood, the hardware is built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 chipset. The camera is a 12MP module that supports photo and video capture, with off-ear speakers, a five-mic array, voice control, and augmented reality-AI features like live translation, captions, and visual overlays. #MetaGlasses #RayBans #MarkZuckerberg #ARVR #AugmentedReality
