The Meta Ray-Ban Display Sunglasses have been unveiled as a new pair of smart glasses that incorporate an in-lens display to maximize user productivity and performance capabilities.
The sunglasses build on the previous smart eyewear that were built with an audio-first interface and boast a hi-res color display in the right lens. The eyewear is paired with the Meta Neural Band to accommodate navigation of the interface, which will support messaging, translations, photo previews, navigation and more.
The Meta Ray-Ban Display Sunglasses have a 12MP camera with 3x zoom alongside a built-in viewfinder right on the display. The glasses are paired with a six-microphone array along with open-ear speakers, while the battery is rated to support six-hours of use per charge which is extended up to 30 hours total with the charging case.
