Starting at $299 USD, the new Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses build upon its predecessor and adds an ultra-wide 12 MP camera for improved photos as well as 1080p videos up to 60 seconds. Plus, you can directly share photos from your glasses with a simple “send a photo” voice command.
You can also livestream a first-person POV directly from the glasses to Instagram or Facebook, complete with comments in the preview. Meta reduced the weight of the glasses and slimmed down the profile, while also adopting a more universal nose fit with rubber pads to ensure good support. Going to the beach? These smartglasses are water-resistant (IPX4), so they’re safe even if light splashes of water touch them. Available October 17th, with pre-orders starting today. Apple’s VR media glasses may still be a few years away for those wondering.

Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are built with privacy at their core. The Meta View App gives you easy access to privacy settings where you can manage your information and choose whether to share your additional data with Meta to improve the app and glasses. We’ve also made the blinking privacy LED on the outside of the glasses bigger and more noticeable, so people know when someone is capturing photos or video or livestreaming from the glasses,” said Meta.
