Pre-orders will open on July 11 in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2024, Meta <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/meta-unveils-new-ai-assistant-llama-3-2-models-and-more\">introduced<\/a> an update to the Ray-Ban smart glasses, featuring real-time video processing with AI, enabling users to ask the glasses questions about what they see. Additional features included reminders, translation, and integration with music apps.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe increasingly see examples of Ray-Ban usage: people wearing them on roller coasters, cycling, and in water, so we try to cater to them,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-06-20\/meta-launches-399-oakley-ai-glasses-with-3k-video-recording?srnd=phx-ai\">commented<\/a> Alex Himel, Meta\u2019s vice president for wearable devices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The first version of Meta&#8217;s smart glasses, released in 2021, was a failure. However, the subsequent 2023 release gained widespread popularity.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt was madness. The success caught us by surprise. Ray-Ban was supposed to be the last glasses without a display. We decided to make two attempts, and if it didn\u2019t work, we\u2019d focus on augmented reality,\u201d noted Himel.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Bloomberg, besides working with Ray-Ban and Oakley, Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s company has developed a roadmap for non-display glasses. A new release based on the Sphera design is planned, targeting cyclists and featuring a central camera.<\/p>\n<p>Himel attributed the success of the Ray-Ban smart glasses to improvements in numerous \u201csmall details.\u201d He noted that the sound and microphone quality surpassed some headphones, and video recording and AI functionality were enhanced.<\/p>\n<p>Battery life remains the \u201cnumber one complaint.\u201d The new Oakley models can operate for eight hours on a single charge, with the charging case lasting 48 hours. Improvements are due to new battery chemistry and software optimization.<\/p>\n<p>Back in July 2024, Zuckerberg <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/zuckerberg-envisions-ai-glasses-for-hundreds-of-millions\">stated<\/a> his vision of a future where everyone wears AI-powered devices.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/apples-ambitious-venture-into-ai-glasses-unveiled\">it was reported<\/a> that Apple is working on new chips for smart glasses, more powerful Mac computers, and AI servers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta, in collaboration with Oakley, has launched new AI-powered smart glasses aimed at athletes, featuring enhanced video recording capabilities.
