Ray-Ban | Meta Glasses With AI

What Are Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses?

Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses are the result of a collaboration between Meta and EssilorLuxottica, bringing together technology and eyewear to combine the timeless aesthetic of Ray-Ban with hands-free AI capabilities built for everyday life. Building on the foundation established by Ray-Ban Stories, the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses collection has evolved into a full-featured AI glasses platform that puts voice control, a built-in camera, open-ear audio, and Meta AI directly into your eyewear. Whether you're capturing a moment, translating a conversation, asking about what you see, or simply listening to music on the go, these glasses are built to keep up with your day.

Built-In Meta AI and Voice Commands

The most defining feature of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses is the integration of Meta AI, activated with a simple "Hey Meta" voice command. From there, you can ask questions in real time, use live translation across supported languages, get recommendations, identify landmarks and objects, and receive context-aware answers without reaching for your phone. Meta continues to update its AI features and supported languages over time, so availability can vary by country, language, and software version.

Ray-Ban Meta also supports hands-free calling and messaging through compatible services such as WhatsApp and Messenger, as well as supported phone messaging. Video calling takes this further by letting you use the glasses camera on supported calls to share your point of view. These capabilities make Ray-Ban Meta more than a hands-free camera, combining communication, audio, capture, and AI assistance in one connected pair of glasses.

Camera, Audio, and Key Specifications

Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses pack advanced hardware into frames designed to retain the familiar look of Ray-Ban eyewear. The built-in ultra-wide 12MP camera captures photos and video hands-free, while Gen 2 and Gen 3 models support recording in up to 3K Ultra HD resolution. Supported video modes also include stabilization and additional capture options, depending on the generation and software version.

Open-ear speakers deliver music, calls, and Meta AI responses without covering your ears, helping you remain aware of surrounding sounds. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) uses a five-microphone array, while Gen 3 moves to a six-microphone array with advanced wind and background-noise reduction for clearer calls, voice commands, and recorded audio. A responsive temple touchpad provides quick control over volume and media playback, while a dedicated capture button gives you direct access to the camera.

Battery life varies by generation. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) provides up to eight hours of use on a single charge, with its charging case providing up to 48 additional hours of charging. Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) increases battery life to up to nine hours on a single charge, while its fully charged case can provide up to 50 additional hours of charging.

Available Styles and Lens Options

Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses are available in several distinctive Ray-Ban frame silhouettes, including Wayfarer, Skyler, Headliner, Aviator, and Zena. The Gen 3 collection includes Wayfarer alongside two new styles: Aviator, which brings the recognizable pilot-inspired Ray-Ban silhouette to the AI glasses lineup, and Zena, which features a bold cat-eye shape.

Lens options vary by style and configuration and include sun, polarized, clear, and Transitions® lenses. Prescription lenses are also available on eligible Ray-Ban Meta models. With different frame shapes, lens options, colours, and sizes available across the collection, there are multiple ways to choose a pair that suits your style and eyewear needs.

Why Ray-Ban Meta Stands Out

The combination of recognizable Ray-Ban styling, a built-in camera, open-ear audio, hands-free communication, and Meta AI brings wearable technology into an eyewear design made for everyday use. With multiple generations and frame styles to choose from, including the new Aviator and Zena Gen 3 models, the Ray-Ban Meta collection offers different ways to combine connected features with classic and contemporary Ray-Ban designs.
