Ray-Ban Meta: The New Era of Smart Glasses Transforms Family Experiences

Imagine listening to music, recording videos, taking pictures, and even asking the AI what you're seeing... a plethora of features through your glasses

By Diego Paiva

Launched in September 2023, the new collection of Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, born out of the partnership between Meta and EssilorLuxottica, promises to revolutionize the way we experience and share our most precious moments. With Ray-Ban’s iconic design and Meta’s cutting-edge technology, these glasses enable families to stay present and connected, capturing new memories without the constraints of a traditional camera. The collection underwent a complete redesign to enhance all features of the first generation and introduce new artificial intelligence capabilities.

Captured Moments

Ideal for outings, birthday parties, first steps, graduations, trips, and much more, Ray-Ban Smart Glasses liberate users from the limitations of a handheld camera. They offer the possibility to capture photos and videos from the unique perspective of the wearer, allowing for a more authentic and immersive experience of family moments.

Listening to feedback from users of the first version, launched by Meta in 2021, the new generation of glasses has received significant improvements in audio quality, image capture, and daily convenience. With customized speakers that provide deeper bass and higher maximum volume, you’ll hear your phone call or favorite music perfectly, in addition to a new 12 MP ultra-wide camera, photos and videos gain superior quality, capturing views and experiences with stunning detail.

In addition to enhanced media quality, the glasses feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 chip, ensuring high-quality photo and video processing and smoother performance. The redesigned and more stylish charging case offers up to eight additional charges, providing up to 36 hours of use, making Ray-Ban Meta glasses the ideal companion for any adventure.

Modern Models and Design

The collection features both classic styles and new ones, such as the iconic Wayfarer and the new design Headliner, available in colors like Matte Black, Glossy Black, as well as new options of transparent frames. With over 150 customizable frame and lens combinations, the Ray-Ban Remix platform allows each user to create a pair of glasses that reflects their personal style.

Compatible with prescription lenses, the Ray-Ban Meta Collection smart glasses offer various lens options and treatments, including high-quality Essilor lenses, to meet different needs and preferences of customers. Lightweight and comfort have been prioritized in the design, with better weight distribution and universal nose fit, as well as water resistance and improvements in the touchpad for faster and more reliable interaction.

Connectivity and Privacy

For technology enthusiasts who value privacy, these glasses have been designed with privacy at their core, allowing users to manage their information and data sharing through the Meta View app. Hands-free live streaming and interactions with Meta’s AI, via voice command “Hey Meta,” extend the possibilities of use, promising a new era of shared and personal experiences. During a trip, for example, you can ask the glasses what you are seeing, and Meta’s AI will respond based on what the camera captures. It could be a monument, a tourist spot, or even a different type of food. Similarly, it can translate signs, read texts, among many possibilities during travels. It will mark a milestone in the journey of discovering and sharing unforgettable moments with family.
