/in /tarafından

Meta announced the expansion of its AI-powered smart glasses lineup with the launch of Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles on Tuesday. The smart glasses are the optical-first styles from the company designed for prescription wearers. Developed in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the new lineup marks a continuation of the companies’ multi-year collaboration, following the earlier introduction of Ray-Ban Meta glasses, Oakley Meta Glasses, and Meta Ray-Ban Display models.

Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles Price, Availability

The new lineup includes Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics (Gen 2) and Ray-Ban Meta Scriber Optics (Gen 2). They are priced at $499 (roughly Rs. 41,500). The glasses will be available for pre-order in the US starting March 31, with sales beginning April 14 across Ray-Ban stores, Ray-Ban.com, and select EssilorLuxottica retail outlets such as LensCrafters and Sunglass Hut.

As per Meta, the smart glasses will also be sold across multiple global markets, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UAE. Expansion to countries like Brazil, Mexico, and India is expected later this year.

Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles Features, Specifications
The new Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles are designed with a focus on comfort and customisation, the company explained in a blog post. The frames feature a slimmer design, interchangeable nose pads, overextension hinges with an additional 10-degree rotation, and adjustable temple tips for a more personalised fit.

Both Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics frames support a wide range of lenses, including single-vision, progressive, and Transitions lenses. According to Meta, this means users can switch between indoor and outdoor environments without changing frames.

On the performance front, the Ray-Ban Meta Optics Styles retain core smart features seen in earlier models. They are equipped with a 12-megapixel camera, which can capture photos and record videos in 3K resolution. There is also a six-microphone system for improved audio recording and clearer calls. Users can listen to music and podcasts via platforms like Spotify and Amazon Music, take calls, send messages, and interact with Meta AI using voice commands.
