The Meta Ray-Ban Display brings a full-color built-in display to a familiar Wayfarer-style Ray-Ban frame.
On the right lens, you’ll see a 600×600-pixel, ~20° field-of-view (FOV) screen that floats just below your line of sight.
Control is handled via the bundled Neural Band wrist strap, which senses muscle signals to scroll, tap or zoom.
The glasses include a 12 MP camera, open-ear speakers, mic array, and transition lenses.
What Makes It Interesting
- If you’re just looking for something useful: These glasses let you check messages, captions, or directions with a quick glance — no phone juggling and no breaking the moment.
- If you’re into immersive events: AR layers, hints, or behind-the-scenes details can appear right on the lens, making experiences feel more connected and responsive.
- If you build things: The Neural Band + display combo enables lightweight AR interactions, subtle overlays, and creative extensions of physical spaces.
Limitations & Considerations
- The display is only in the right lens: It offers a narrow ~20° FOV — great for quick info but not full AR immersion.
- Battery life is about six hours: With all the tech in the frame, they may feel a bit heavy for all-day wear.
- Availability is limited: You must book a demo before buying, and stock may require waiting.
- The software ecosystem is still developing: The glasses require the Meta AI app and a supported smartphone.
Looking Ahead
This hardware feels like one of the first wearable devices designed for immersive experiences rather than novelty. As more developers build content (AR overlays, experience-specific apps) and as venues integrate them into events, the Ray-Ban Display could become a major entry point into immersive entertainment.
