At its Connect event 2025, Meta showcased what it believes is the “next evolution in AI glasses”: Meta Ray-Ban Display and Meta Neural Band. Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses feature an in-lens display and are designed to help you stay connected, informed and productive without constantly reaching for your phone. Each pair comes with a Meta Neural Band, which lets you control the glasses using subtle hand gestures.
According to Meta, Ray-Ban Display is the “first product that takes microphones, speakers, cameras, and a full-color display backed with compute and AI — and puts it all together in a single device that’s stylish and comfortable.”

The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses feature an in-lens display that lets you check messages, view directions, see translations, and interact with Meta AI without pulling out your phone. The display appears only when needed and is placed off to the side so it doesn’t block your view. Meta says the goal isn’t to replace your phone but to help you quickly complete everyday tasks without breaking your flow.
