Meta Platforms is collaborating with the eyewear company EssilorLuxottica to launch new AI-enabled Meta Glasses. As part of the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta families of products, Meta Glasses come with unique designs. There are three frames available, one being the Kylie Jenner edition. These glasses come with Meta's latest AI solution called Muse Spark AI, which allows for several capabilities like multimodal interaction, real-time translation, hands-free picture-taking, and contextual assistance.
Meta Glasses will retail at $299 (approximately ₹28,000). You can order your pair now from the official website of Meta or from LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Best Buy, Amazon, and other partner retailers around the globe.
There are three unique designs available in several finish variants including Classic Black, Classic Tortoise, Racing Green, Linen, Merlot, Mahogany, and Sandstone. The lens types available are clear, sun, Transitions, and polarized, making a total of 26 styles.
The glasses support prescription lenses ranging from -12 to +2.25. The company has also launched a new "Rx Lens Swap" program, allowing users to have prescription lenses fitted by an optician of their choice without voiding the warranty. Initially, the Meta Glasses will be sold in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. The company has not yet provided any information regarding their availability in the Indian market.
Like other wearables in the company's lineup, the Meta Glasses feature the Meta AI assistant for hands-free use. However, it now runs on Muse Spark, a flagship natively multimodal reasoning and agentic AI model developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs. It is claimed to allow users to ask context-aware questions about what they are seeing, receive suggestions, manage schedules, and access information hands-free.
A dedicated button is provided to activate the Meta AI assistant or initiate custom functions. For audio, the glasses feature open-ear speakers with adaptive volume support. The wearable device incorporates a six-microphone system—with two microphones on the nose pads, two on the temple arms, and two on the front frame. It also includes wind noise reduction technology, which helps capture audio more effectively during calls and AI interactions.
Much like the Ray-Ban Meta, the Meta Glasses feature a 12-megapixel camera with a 100-degree field of view (FoV). The company states that users can capture photos with a resolution of up to 3,024 x 4,032 pixels and record videos at up to 3K resolution at 30fps. The camera also supports 1080p recording at up to 60 fps and 720p recording at up to 120 fps, alongside features such as hyperlapse and slow-motion video capture. Meta's new dynamic photo feature claims to capture multiple frames of a moment and then suggest the best shot.
The company states that it will introduce future software updates enabling pedestrian navigation with turn-by-turn directions, even without looking at a display.
Meta Glasses support live translation in 20 languages, including Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Portuguese. The company is also adding support for 14 additional languages through upcoming updates. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6 with tri-band support (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz), Bluetooth 5.4, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and support for Meta's neural band accessories via Bluetooth 5.2.
Meta claims the battery lasts over eight hours on a single charge, extending to a total of 40 hours with the charging case. The glasses feature 32GB of onboard storage, which is said to be sufficient for storing 1,000 photos or more than 100 videos (each 30 seconds long).
