Meta Launches New AI-Powered Smart Glasses Starting at $299 with Kylie Jenner EditionPreviousNext

Meta has launched a new range of AI-powered smart glasses starting at $299, developed in partnership with eyewear company EssilorLuxottica but without Ray-Ban or Oakley branding. The lineup includes three frame styles, including a Kylie Jenner collaboration, and offers features like a 12MP camera, open-ear speakers, voice controls, live translation, and over eight hours of battery life. The glasses support prescription lenses via a new Rx Lens Swap program and aim to make wearable AI more accessible amid growing competition from companies like Google and Snap.
