Meta's AI Glasses: Prices and Models Revealed

Meta's foray into smart glasses continues with its second generation of AI-powered eyewear, developed in partnership with iconic brands Ray-Ban and Oakley. These devices aim to blend technology seamlessly into everyday life, allowing users to capture photos and videos, listen to audio, make calls, send messages, and even translate conversations in real-time across multiple languages.

The first generation, a collaboration with Ray-Ban, introduced the Wayfarer model, with subsequent updates including Skyler, Headliner, Blayzer Optics, and Scriber Optics. The second generation, in partnership with Oakley, offers the HSTN and Vanguard models, designed with athletes in mind.

Both lines boast 12MP ultra-wide-angle cameras, discreet speakers, and multiple microphones. They offer 32GB of storage, capable of holding up to 1,000 photos and 100 short videos. Optional photochromic lenses are available, adapting to light conditions and offering UV protection.

While Ray-Ban models offer around 4 hours of battery life for daily use, the Oakley versions are built for more demanding physical activity, providing up to 8 hours of use and sweat resistance. The most advanced model, the Meta Ray-Ban Display, can be controlled with a Neural Band and projects phone screens onto the right lens. Prices for these innovative wearables range from approximately $4,799 to $13,999 Mexican pesos.
