Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Gen 2: Futuristic Game‑Changer or High‑Tech Novelty?
Meta and Ray-Ban have released second-generation smart glasses with a 12 MP camera, open-ear speakers, and Meta’s AI assistant, starting at $379. Battery life is now about 8 hours. A higher-end “Meta Display” model with an AR lens and wrist controller costs $799. Privacy concerns persist, as the recording indicator is subtle and researchers have enabled unofficial facial recognition.
