Meta Unveils Ray-Ban Display Glasses: A Glimpse into the Post-Smartphone Future

Meta Connect 2025 witnessed a pivotal moment in wearable technology with the debut of the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, a device CEO Mark Zuckerberg touts as a significant stride towards a ‘post-smartphone era’. Unveiled on September 17, these smart glasses, which hit stores on September 30, feature a groundbreaking heads-up display and an innovative neural wristband, promising to redefine how we interact with digital information.

During the keynote, Zuckerberg expressed profound pride in the new glasses, emphasizing Meta’s decade-long commitment to the technology. The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses integrate a bright, full-color display in the right eye, capable of up to 5,000 nits of brightness, ensuring visibility in all conditions. Crucially, the display is designed for privacy, invisible to onlookers.

A key innovation is the accompanying EMG neural wristband, described by Zuckerberg as the ‘world’s first mainstream neural interface’. This wristband allows for intuitive, subtle hand gestures to control the glasses, enabling users to navigate menus, capture photos and videos, and adjust settings with minimal effort. Reviewers found the wristband remarkably easy to learn, mastering basic gestures within minutes.

The glasses boast a comprehensive operating system, facilitating features such as live captioning with Conversation Focus, AI-powered note-taking, WhatsApp messaging, and visual feedback from AI queries. Advanced capabilities include hands-free recipe viewing, video calling, and turn-by-turn walking directions. The Live AI feature, allowing the glasses to intelligently process and summarize real-time information, further highlights their potential.

Priced at $799, including the glasses and wristband, they offer 6 hours of mixed-use battery life for the glasses and 18 hours for the wristband. While acknowledged as an early adopter product, the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses represent a compelling vision for a future where technology seamlessly integrates into daily life, moving beyond the confines of the smartphone.
