The new Meta Glasses have been debuted by the brand as its own private label of smart glasses that don't have any of the familiar name-brand monikers from previous wearables.
The smart glasses are positioned as a lower cost range of wearables that are being manufactured through a partnership with EssilorLuxottica and don't have any displays or screens. The glasses instead have a camera and personal speakers that, when activated, will connect to the Meta AI assistant for information access including contextual awareness and more. The glasses will reportedly offer over eight-hours of use per charge with the total usage time with the charging case pushed to 40-hours.
The new Meta Glasses come in the Meta Adventurer and the Meta Fury models alongside the Meta Glasses by Kylie created through a partnership with Kylie Jenner. The connected eyewear will be priced at $299.
