Price and release date

Display and Neural link

At meta Connect 2025, Mark Zuckerberg finally announced his company’s next-generation smart glasses, the Meta Ray Ban Display, which combine a camera and a small display inside the glasses, giving wearers true augmented reality, and possibly living up to the promise of the long-gone Google Glasses.

Here’s everything that was revealed about the Meta Ray Ban Display. Could these be the smart glasses to beat?

Battery life

Up to 6 hours

The Ray-Ban Display weigh 69 grams, which is a touch heavier than the Oakley Vanguard. The neural band weighs 42 grams, which is pretty light.

The glasses also come with a charging case that collapses down into a compact form when not in use. They also have a battery that will provide an additional 24 hours of juice to the glasses.
Ray-Ban Meta Display: Display and Neural link

As rumored, the Ray-Ban Display have a small screen on the right lens with a brightness of 5000 nits, so that you’ll be able to see it even in direct sunlight.
The glasses are paired with a neural link wristband, which translates small muscle twitches and movements into menu controls. For instance, when listening to music, you can rotate your wrist right or left to change the volume. Or, you can tap your fingers on a table to compose a text message.

During the presentation, Mark Zuckerberg showed off the Ray-Ban Display’s capabilities, though not everything worked perfectly; he had trouble answering a Whatsapp call, as the glasses didn’t respond to his commands.
However, other demonstrations did work, and showed off the potential of the glasses. For instance, the glasses were able to interpret the words that Mark was saying, and put them on the display of someone else wearing a pair of the glasses, which will come in handy if you have trouble hearing someone, or want to view subtitles for a movie.
This feature will also work with meta’s live translate feature, so you’ll be able to see what someone is saying in real time.
We’re going to get hands-on with the Ray-Ban Meta Displays soon, so stay tuned.
