The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses combine traditional eyewear design with advanced [[artificial intelligence]] capabilities and a high-resolution display embedded in the right lens using a reflective geometric [[waveguide]] and micro-projector technology. Each pair comes bundled with the [[Meta Neural Band]], an [[electromyography]] (EMG) wristband that enables gesture-based control of the device through surface electromyography (sEMG) to detect subtle wrist and finger muscle signals.<ref name="meta-neural">Meta Neural Band technology overview.
