Jogging on a treadmill in jeans at Meta's Menlo Park campus when it's nearly 80 degrees isn't my idea of a good time. But I was curious what Meta's new wraparound smart shades, and a Garmin sports watch, would do for me. I couldn't see workout stats floating in front of my eyes, not yet at least, but I could ask for my heart rate on demand. AirPods can do that, too. But AirPods can't record my POV exercise highlight video with overlaid stats for showing off later. The new Meta Oakley Vanguard

I Wore Meta's New Ray-Ban Display Glasses and Neural Band. I Feel Augmented

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-22 04:21:00

As soon as I saw someone wearing Meta's new AR glasses for the first time, I knew they looked different. Thicker than regular Meta Ray-Bans, they reminded me of something filmmaker Martin Scorsese would wear. They were stylish, with a sort of translucent-ish brown frame. I also noticed its sidekick, the ribbed fabric wristband, but only because I was looking for it. The new Meta's Ray-Ban Display Glasses are very real. They go on sale Sept. 30 for $799. And they're wild to use. When wearing a

It takes time to realize you don’t have to hold your hand out in front of you for these gestures to be recognized, but a surprisingly short amount of time to find yourself using them with very little second thought. Of course talking to Meta AI remains a key way of interacting with the glasses, but Meta hopes that adding the visual elements will enhance the chatbot experience. For example, live speech captioning and language translation is still switched on by voice—but with Meta Ray-Ban Displa
