Meta Announces The Arrival Of Meta Ray-Ban Display Glasses

During the keynote of Meta Connect 2025 yesterday, Mark Zuckerberg showed smart glasses and headsets including the Meta Ray-Ban Display.

These glasses will retails for USD799.00 and will feature a 600×600-pixel, 500-nit waveguide display on their right lens, and work in conjunction with the Meta Neural Band, a wrist-worn device that picks up on hand movements.

The Meta Neural Band has an 18-hour battery, is water resistant, and allows for interactions from button selection to interface control to texting.

The Meta Ray-Ban Display also features an AI assistant that can pick up on audio and video to offer and surface useful information that can be delivered visually or through the glasses embedded speakers.

Experiences in Meta Ray-Ban Display

Meta Ray-Ban Display takes everything you know and love about Ray-Ban Meta glasses and supercharges it to give you more context, more functionality, and more freedom than ever before. We’ve built the experiences in Meta Ray-Ban Display to boost your confidence and give you more clarity in everything you do and see through them.

We can now take the beloved features from Ray-Ban Meta to the next level, while adding new ones thanks to the addition of a hi-res display and neural band. Here’s a few of the experiences that make Meta Ray-Ban

Meta AI with Visuals: Meta AI on glasses can do so much more when it’s paired with visuals — now it can show you answers and step-by-step how-tos, rather than just reading something back to you. Move through steps easily with a quick swipe of your thumb side to side using the Meta Neural Band.

Messaging & Video Calling: Staying connected while staying in the moment is so much easier when your glasses show you short texts, WhatsApp messages, or Reels your friends are sharing. With Meta Ray-Ban Display, you can privately view text and multimedia messages from WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and your phone, hands-free with just a pinch. You can also take live video calls from WhatsApp and Messenger and show friends what you’re seeing through the glasses.

Preview & Zoom: The real-time camera viewfinder and zoom functionality helps you get the perfect shot on the first try — and the display makes it easy to select and share your favorite photos and videos.

Pedestrian Navigation: Get where you need to go, with phone-free, walking directions. Select your destination and get turn-by-turn walking directions with a visual map of the area shown on your glasses’ display. We’ll launch pedestrian navigation for select cities in beta and will continue to add more over time.

Live Captions & Translation: Meta Ray-Ban Display breaks down barriers with its live captioning feature. When prompted, it can display captions for the speech that’s directed at you, or translate select languages for you in real-time — all while you stay present and engaged in the conversation.

Music Playback: See what you’re listening to in real time with the music card shown on the glasses’ display. Swipe left and right with your thumb to navigate music, or pinch your fingers and rotate your wrist to turn the volume, just like you’re dialing up a speaker IRL.

Just like we’ve done with Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, we’ll continue to build new experiences alongside the community and deliver on more of what they want. And we’ve got an exciting slate of software updates landing in the coming months for Meta Ray-Ban Display — a dedicated Instagram Reels app, EMG handwriting, and more.
