Meta’s popular Ray-Ban smart glasses are set to receive a significant upgrade in 2025, with the addition of a display. Initially launched as a simple pair of glasses with a camera and speakers, the glasses gained more functionality when Meta AI support was introduced earlier this year. Users can now ask questions, take pictures, and even translate live conversations.
The upcoming display will likely not be a full AR experience but will enhance the glasses with notifications and other small messages. Meta aims to keep the glasses affordable, targeting budget-conscious consumers who may eventually transition to more advanced XR devices. This move will make the Ray-Ban glasses even more appealing, with Meta’s larger goal of affordable XR technology becoming clearer. The display upgrade could make the glasses one of the best AR options on the market, with Meta’s true AR glasses possibly arriving by 2027.
