Meta Ray-Ban Display: the new smart glasses with invisible display

Meta introduced its new Ray-Ban Display, a pair of smart glasses that feature an almost invisible display in one of the lenses and a wristband that allows users to control them with hand gestures. The announcement was made during the Meta Connect 2025 conference.

The model, developed together with Ray-Ban, aims to become a key device in the wearables market, combining classic design with augmented reality features and electromyography-based control.

A classic design with advanced technology

Ray-Ban Display keeps a traditional appearance, with speakers and six microphones in the temples, as well as a 12 MP camera. They weigh 70 grams (0.15 pounds) and allow users to listen to music, interact with Meta AI, translate audio and text, take photos, or stream live.

Since its debut in 2021 with Ray-Ban Stories, Meta has already sold 4.4 million units of connected glasses, consolidating its presence in this segment.

The invisible display and its features

The main innovation is the integrated display in the right lens. It has a resolution of 600 x 600 pixels, 5000 nits of brightness, and covers only 20 degrees of the field of view. It allows users to view maps, messages, notifications, weather, or real-time subtitles.

The most striking aspect is that it's practically invisible from the outside. Only 2% of the light filters outward, maintaining the look of conventional glasses. In addition, versions with prescription and photochromic lenses are available.

Control with the smart wristband

The other major addition is a wristband that detects the hand's electrical impulses through electromyography. Thanks to this, users can perform subtle gestures to navigate the interface, select items, or even simulate writing to send messages.

Unlike devices such as Apple Vision Pro, this system doesn't depend on the hands being visible.

Battery life and availability

The glasses offer up to 6 hours of battery life in mixed use and 30 hours with their charging case. The wristband, meanwhile, reaches about 18 hours of duration. All processing is done on the device itself, making them more independent.
