Meta launches AI glasses with three new styles from $299

Meta has announced the launch of Meta Glasses, a new line of AI-powered eyewear developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica. The release includes three distinct frame styles: Meta Adventurer, Meta Fury, and Meta Glasses by Kylie, the latter created in partnership with Kylie Jenner. These glasses are designed for a wide audience, offering 26 style variations and compatibility with prescription lenses. Starting at $299, Meta Glasses are now available for purchase in multiple countries through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, Lenscrafters, Sunglasses Hut, and additional select retailers.

The frames are crafted from premium materials, and each pair is equipped with advanced features such as:

1. Three-way adjustable nose pads
2. Open-ear speakers for audio
3. A multi-mic array with wind noise reduction
4. Hands-free photo and video capture

The dedicated action button allows users to quickly access Meta AI or customize shortcuts. Battery life supports over 8 hours of use, with the included charging case extending usage by up to 40 hours. Meta Glasses are powered by Meta AI running on the new Muse Spark model, offering improved multimodal understanding and support for 14 additional live translation languages. Industry analysts note the expanded functionality and focus on privacy controls, as well as the integration of new features like dynamic photo and upcoming pedestrian navigation.

Meta, formerly Facebook, has been investing in wearable AI technology to create seamless daily digital experiences. This partnership with EssilorLuxottica leverages both companies’ experience in technology and eyewear design, aiming to position Meta Glasses at the forefront of AI-powered personal devices.
