Meta has launched the new Ray-Ban smart glasses with a built-in color display and a Neural Band for gesture control. These glasses show notifications, navigation, translations, and more right inside the lens, with content staying private and visible even in bright sunlight. The Neural Band lets users control the display using hand gestures detected by sensors in a wristband, so you can scroll, select, or even input text without touching the glasses.
The display offers up to 5,000 nits brightness and 600 x 600 resolution. You can use Meta AI, make video calls, see messages, and control music directly on the display—even outdoors. The Neural Band lasts 18 hours and is waterproof, while the glasses themselves offer six hours of use per charge and snap into a carrying case for additional battery life.
Meta Ray-Ban Display launches September 30 for $799 in the US, making smart glasses with advanced AI controls and gesture support more accessible. This new device aims to compete with rival offerings from Apple and Google, combining practical everyday features with discreet, simple tech.
