Meta just launched a pair of glasses that can see everything you see, hear everything you hear, and run it all through an AI model in real time.
Priced starting at $299, the new smart glasses come equipped with a 12MP+ camera, multiple microphones, and an AI system powered by Meta’s Muse Spark model. The pitch is hands-free everything: photo and video capture, live translation, visual queries, and real-time environmental interactions.
The hardware play and what it means for markets
The new glasses, built in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, come in three designs and work with prescription lenses. At $299, they undercut the previous Ray-Ban Meta models by about $80.
The company claims over 80% of the smart glasses market, with millions of units sold since its first models launched in 2021 and the follow-up in 2023.
