Meta has introduced its latest Ray-Ban smart glasses, developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, at the Connect 2023 event alongside the Meta Quest 3.
These new smart glasses have undergone a complete redesign based on community feedback, resulting in a lighter and more comfortable design. They are available in the classic Wayfarer style or the new Headliner design, both in Matte Black and Shiny Black.
You can also choose from three transparent frame colors: Jeans, Rebel Black, and Caramel. With over 150 frame and lens combinations on the Ray-Ban Remix platform, you can personalize them on ray-ban.com and even fit them with prescription lenses.
The revamped Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses feature custom-designed speakers offering improved bass and audio quality. The five-microphone array is optimized for superior audio recording during videos.
They come equipped with a 12 MP camera for enhanced photo and video quality, which can be easily shared with a voice command. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 Platform, these glasses offer faster processing and are accompanied by a sleek charging case with extended battery life of up to 36 hours.
These glasses are now water-resistant (IPX4), feature an improved touchpad, and enable livestreaming to Facebook or Instagram with real-time comments. They are integrated with Meta AI, which can be controlled with your voice by saying “Hey Meta” for various tasks.
