Ray-Ban Meta Display

Overview

The Ray-Ban Meta Display marks Meta's first consumer smart glasses equipped with a built-in visual display. Priced at $799, the device integrates a monocular waveguide into the right lens, delivering a 600x600 resolution, a 20-degree field of view, and up to 5,000 nits of brightness. For navigation and controls, the glasses come paired with the Meta Neural Band, an sEMG wristband built for gesture and text input.

Beyond displaying live captions and translated subtitles, the glasses handle multimedia capture using a 12 MP camera that records 1080p video at 30fps. The hardware features open-ear stereo speakers, a 6-mic array, and connectivity via Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 to access Meta AI. With a 6-hour battery life and a 69-gram frame, it positions itself as an advanced HUD option for connected everyday assistance.
