Meta Unveils AI-Powered Smart Glasses with Display and Neural Wristband at Connect Event

Meta introduces Ray-Ban Display smart glasses with a heads-up display and a surface electromyography wristband enabling hands-free control, priced at $800, advancing consumer AR technology.

  • Meta is hosting its Connect 2025 developer conference today at 5pm PT, where it will introduce its initial smart glasses featuring a built-in display, called Ray-Ban Display.
  • The launch follows last year's Orion AR glasses prototype, which set high expectations but costs over $10,000 and is not yet ready for mass production.
  • The new Ray-Ban Display glasses include a small heads-up display for navigation and messages, controlled hands-free by a surface electromyography wristband sensing wrist muscle activation.
  • Analysts and Meta’s CEO Zuckerberg foresee these AI-powered glasses as key to integrating superintelligence with enhanced AI interpreting user surroundings, while the product is expected to cost at least $800.
  • This launch suggests Meta aims to lead consumer AR with practical smart glasses despite style challenges and competition from products like Oakley’s Meta HSTN starting at $400.
