Meta introduced the Meta Ray‑Ban Display, a new pair of smart glasses featuring a right‑lens display and a wrist‑band for gesture control. While the company touts advanced AI capabilities, reviewers note a bulky aesthetic, a high price tag around $800, and a limited U.S. launch that requires in‑store fittings. The launch follows Meta’s $3.5 billion minority investment in Essilor Luxottica, the maker of Ray‑Ban, highlighting the partnership’s continued focus on wearable technology. Ler mais

Meta introduced a new version of its Ray‑Ban smart glasses that feature a single‑eye color display, transition lenses, and a six‑hour mixed‑use battery. The glasses are sold for $799 and come with a neural wristband that reads subtle wrist‑muscle signals to enable pinch, swipe and twist gestures. The system runs on Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi‑Fi 6, supports limited prescription inserts, and offers Meta‑focused apps such as messaging, live captioning, navigation and AI‑driven assistance. While the hardware marks a tangible step toward everyday augmented‑reality wearables, its limited field of view, single‑eye display and modest app ecosystem suggest a work‑in‑progress. Ler mais
