Rumors have swirled for months<\/a> about Meta launching a pair of smart glasses with a display, and now they\u2019re finally here. The glasses, dubbed the Meta Ray-Ban Display, feature a full-color, high-res screen in the right lens that you can use to view messages, take video calls, read live captions, see walking directions, and preview the pictures you\u2019re about to take with the built-in 12-megapixel camera.<\/p>\n You control the display with a wristband, allowing you to scroll, click, and, eventually, write out messages, using different gestures. The glasses offer up to six hours of \u201cmixed-use\u201d battery life, or up to 30 hours with the collapsible charging case.<\/p>\n The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses start at $799, with both the wristband and glasses coming in black or brown. The glasses will be available in the US starting September 30th at Best Buy, LensCrafters, and Ray-Ban stores.<\/p>\n Image: Meta<\/p>\n Meta is launching a new version of its popular Ray-Ban<\/a> smart glasses with an upgraded eight-hour battery life that nearly doubles that of the original model<\/a>. The second-gen smart glasses still come with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, but they now support 3K video capture and allow wearers to record videos up to 60 frames per second.<\/p>\n Meta upgraded the charging case that comes included with the glasses, too, as it now offers an extra 48 hours of charging, up from 36 hours. There\u2019s also a new \u201cconversation focus\u201d feature coming to the Ray-Ban Meta and the Oakley Meta HSTN glasses<\/a> that amplifies the sound of the person speaking to you in noisy areas.<\/p>\n The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses will start at $379 and are available now in the familiar Wayfarer, Skyler, and Headliner styles.<\/p>\n Image: Meta<\/p>\n Meta is partnering with Oakley to launch a new pair of smart glasses designed for \u201chigh-intensity sports.\u201d The Oakley Meta Vanguard feature a wraparound design, an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, along with integrations with fitness apps like Garmin and Strava, allowing you to ask Meta AI about your fitness data and stats.<\/p>\n Additionally, the Vanguard glasses feature a 12MP, 122-degree camera on the nose bridge, with the ability to record videos in up to 3K resolution, and they support new capture modes, like slow-motion, time-lapse, and hyperlapse, which are coming to Meta\u2019s other AI glasses as well. Some other standout features include upgraded speakers and up to nine hours of battery life.<\/p>\n The Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses cost $499 and will come in four frame and lens color combinations when they launch on October 21st.
