Meta has announced the new Meta Glasses, developed in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, expanding its strategy in AI glasses.
The company is introducing a new line of smart glasses based on technology already used in Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta, with 26 different styles at launch and a starting price of $299.
The move matters because it shows that Meta does not see AI glasses as an experimental product, but as a core hardware category for the age of artificial intelligence.
A new lineup with 26 options
Meta Glasses will be available in three main design lines.
The first is Meta Adventurer, with a rectangular shape and a more timeless look, available in two sizes. The second is Meta Fury, with a bolder design. The third is Meta Glasses by Kylie, a slim oval frame created in collaboration with Kylie Jenner.
In total, Meta says 26 versions will be available at launch, with different colors, lenses and frames. The glasses will also be compatible with prescription lenses.
Meta AI from day one
The new glasses will be the company’s first AI glasses to launch from day one with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark.
According to Meta, the rebuilt AI system will provide smarter answers, better understand what the user is seeing and help with everyday tasks, such as reminders, scheduling and navigation.
The company also says Muse Spark is now available on Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses in the US and Canada.
Features for photos, audio and daily use
Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button for quick access to Meta AI or to a user’s favorite feature.
They offer open-ear speakers for calls, music, podcasts and audiobooks without fully isolating the user from their surroundings. They also include a multi-microphone array with wind noise reduction, designed to keep calls, messages and voice commands clear.
As with Meta’s previous AI glasses, they can capture photos and videos hands-free, while the company says privacy controls and built-in safeguards are included to protect people nearby.
Battery life and new features
Meta refers to more than 8 hours of battery life, along with a portable foldable charging case that provides up to 40 additional hours of use.
This month, the company is adding dynamic photo, a feature that automatically captures multiple frames and recommends the best one, while still allowing the user to choose which image to share.
Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to displayless glasses, with turn-by-turn directions. At the same time, live translation is gaining support for 14 new languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi and Korean.
Availability
Meta Glasses are available in selected countries through Meta’s official store and partner retailers, including Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut.
The company does not provide specific information in this announcement about availability in the Greek market.
What we think
Meta is showing that it wants to move artificial intelligence from the smartphone to the user’s face, through products that look more like regular glasses and less like a tech gadget. The key question remains whether users will accept a camera and AI as part of their everyday appearance.
