Meta announced its first pair of AR glasses, the Meta Ray‑Ban Display, priced at $799. The device combines a translucent heads‑up display, camera, audio and gesture‑based controls, and ships with a dedicated EMG wristband called the Meta Neural Band. Available initially at select U.S. retailers—including Best Buy, LensCrafters, Ray‑Ban and Verizon—on September 30, the glasses will later roll out to Canada, France, Italy and the United Kingdom.
