Meta Unveils New Smart Glasses With AR Display and Gesture Control
Meta has just launched a new generation of smart glasses that combine augmented reality (AR), AI, and wearable tech into a sleek, display-enabled frame. The most advanced model, called the Meta Ray-Ban Display, features a right-lens AR screen, voice assistant integration, and a neural wristband that detects subtle hand gestures for control. Users can check messages, navigate, video call, and even translate languages—all from inside their glasses. Priced at $799 and launching September 30, 2025, it marks Meta’s most ambitious push yet into mixed-reality eyewear. A second model, the Oakley Meta Vanguard, targets athletes with a built-in camera and fitness integrations. Critics note concerns about privacy, battery life, and price, but early tech adopters are intrigued by the possibilities.
