Meta announced Meta Glasses on June 23, 2026, a line of AI-powered smart glasses developed jointly with eyewear manufacturer EssilorLuxottica. Priced from $299, they are the first smart glasses sold under Meta's own brand rather than the Ray-Ban or Oakley names used for previous models. The glasses have no display but include a camera, open-ear speakers, and multiple microphones designed to reduce wind noise. An action button on the side can invoke Meta AI or be assigned other functions. Battery life is over eight hours, with a charging case providing up to 40 additional hours.
Three frame styles are available: the rectangular Meta Adventurer, the bold Meta Fury, and the slim oval Meta Glasses by Kylie, developed with Kylie Jenner. Prescription lenses are supported, and nose pads adjust in three steps. Meta AI uses the Muse Spark model developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs and can identify objects in view, answer questions, and manage calendars. Future updates will add turn-by-turn walking navigation and live translation for 14 languages including Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, and Korean.
Meta Glasses went on sale June 23 at Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, and Sunglass Hut in multiple countries. The Japanese official site currently shows a message that the product cannot be purchased. The launch comes as competitor Snap recently announced its SPECS smart glasses at $2,195, positioning Meta's lower price as a bid to expand the market.
