At the Meta Connect 2025 event, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the Meta Ray-Ban Display, a pair of AI-powered smart glasses designed to enhance user interaction through an in-lens display and a neural wristband. These glasses aim to provide a seamless blend of digital information and real-world engagement.

- AI Integration: The glasses integrate with Meta AI, providing features like live captions, real-time translations, and visual responses to user queries.
Specifications
- Display: 600×600 pixel resolution with a 20-degree field of view and 90Hz refresh rate.
- Brightness: Up to 5,000 nits, ensuring visibility in various lighting conditions.
- Battery Life: Approximately 6 hours of mixed-use, with an additional 24 hours provided by the collapsible charging case.
- Control: Gesture-based interactions via the Meta Neural Band, offering a touch-free user experience.
Availability
- Launch Date: September 30, 2025, in the United States.
- Pricing: $799, including both the glasses and the Meta Neural Band.
- International Availability: Expansion to Canada, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom is planned for early 2026.
