Why did Meta add new features to Ray-Ban Smart Glasses?
Meta said on Tuesday that, in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, it’s adding new features to their smart glasses, Ray-Ban. The aim is to make the glasses even more useful by adding new styles designed to fit more face shapes.
“Our second-generation smart glasses, in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, have been flying off the shelves — they’re selling out faster than we can make them. And just in time for sunglasses season, we’re expanding the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses collection with new styles designed to fit more face shapes so you can find the perfect pair. We’re also adding new features, including updates to Meta AI, to make the glasses even more useful,” said Meta.
The Smart glasses new features
Meta said that their new Skyler frames feature a cat-eye design inspired by an era of iconic jet-set style designed to suit smaller faces. We’re also adding a new low bridge option for our Headliner frames. If your glasses tend to slide down your nose, sit too low on your face, or press on your cheeks, this is the fit for you, Meta.
According to the report, there are hundreds of different custom frame and lens combinations on the Ray-Ban Remix platform, so that users can mix and match to make the glasses their own on ray-ban.com. And our new styles are designed to be prescription lens compatible. Skyler and the new Headliner low bridge fit are available for pre-order now on meta.com and ray-ban.com. These new styles are available in 15 countries, including the US, Canada, Australia, and throughout Europe.
Meta said it’s also introducing the first limited-edition Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in an exclusive Scuderia Ferrari colorway for Miami 2024. Ray-Ban Meta for Scuderia Limited Edition brings together the legacy of Ferrari, timeless Ray-Ban design, and cutting-edge tech from Meta, available April 24, 2024.
When was Ray-Ban first released?
Meta announced on Sept 27, 2023, at Meta Connect that, in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, they are launching Ray-Ban smart glasses. Meta said it redesigned these from the ground up, improving all the core features of the first generation while adding new capabilities that have never been seen on a pair of smart glasses before. They start at $299 USD. Pre-orders are open now on meta.com and ray-ban.com, and the smart glasses will be available for purchase online and in retail stores starting October 17.
Earlier this month, Meta introduced a new assistant built with Llama 3. According to the report, you can use Meta AI across their different platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger) to get things done, learn, create, and connect with the things that matter to you.
