Meta is making its smart glasses more accessible with a new in-house brand and a lower price point.
The company announced Meta Glasses, a line of screenless smart glasses developed in partnership with eyewear manufacturer EssilorLuxottica.

Pricing and Models
The new frames start at $299, which is $80 cheaper than the second-generation Ray-Ban Meta models released last year.
The initial lineup includes three frame designs: the Adventurer (standard square, two sizes), the Fury (thicker build), and the Starfire (slim oval, designed with Kylie Jenner).
The Starfire is priced at $399.
Meta offers 26 configurations across colors like black, green, and tortoiseshell, as well as lens types including prescription, polarized, and photochromic.

Battery life is rated at up to eight hours, with a folding charging case providing an additional 40 hours.
The glasses run on Muse Spark, a new multimodal AI model.
Users can activate the assistant via a physical button to ask about objects, translate conversations in real-time (with 14 new languages), or capture media.
A dynamic photo burst mode helps capture hands-free images, and audio-based pedestrian navigation is planned for a future update.
