Meta Adds A Real Display To Ray‑Bans

  • Meta's new Ray-Ban Display glasses put a 600x600, 20° color LCoS display in the right lens for lightweight info overlays.
  • The display targets short tasks like messages, directions, captions, and small videos rather than immersive AR.
ADVICE

Try Before You Buy For Fit And Visibility

  • Try the glasses in person before buying since the display is subtle and available in limited sizes and finishes.
  • Visit a retailer for fitting and to evaluate brightness, comfort, and app compatibility before paying $799.

Wristband EMG Controls Complement The Display

  • Meta pairs the glasses with a metaneural wristband that uses EMG for gesture control and promises future in-air handwriting recognition.
  • Separation of controls (wristband) and display (right lens) signals Meta's phased approach to wearables input and accessibility.
