Meta Ray-Ban Display review: smart glasses with a lens built-in screen

Meta Ray-Ban Display: the future is already on your face#

The first geeks to try on Meta Ray-Ban Display came away stunned by what these things can do.

From the outside, they look like ordinary Ray-Bans. Inside, there's a tiny display built right into the lens.
Messages, maps, translations, photo and video previews — all visible without ever pulling out your phone.

Straight out of sci-fi: what these glasses can actually do#

The feature list reads like science fiction: real-time subtitles and translation, video calls right in the lens, turn-by-turn navigation, and AI-powered suggestions.

Neural Band: gesture control without the flailing#

The star of the show is the Neural Band, a wristband that reads your muscle signals so you can control the glasses with gestures. A pinch selects, a double-pinch opens the menu. You can even do it with your hand behind your back — about as discreet as it gets.

Battery life, camera, and price#

The glasses run for about six hours on a single charge, with the case pushing that to nearly thirty. The 12-megapixel camera shoots solid photos and video, and the display is bright yet all but invisible to everyone around you.

Price tag: just $799. Shall we order a pair?
