Meta Unveils New Smart Glasses With A Display And Wristband Controller
TechCrunch, September 17,2025
Meta on Wednesday unveiled a new pair of Ray-Ban branded smart glasses with a built-in display for apps, alerts, and directions on the right lens.
The smart glasses are controlled by a wristband that picks up on subtle hand gestures, called Meta Neural Band, the same one it unveiled at last year's Connect as part of its Orion demo.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the new product, called Meta Ray-Ban Display, onstage at the company's annual developer conference, Meta Connect 2025. Unlike Orion, Zuckerberg says this is a product that people can buy in a couple of weeks, starting September 30, and they'll cost $799.
