The Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses combine iconic Ray-Ban eyewear designs with integrated technology including a high-resolution camera, microphones, open-ear speakers, and onboard [[artificial intelligence|AI]] capabilities powered by [[Meta AI]].<ref name="essilux"/> Unlike immersive [[AR glasses]], they do not feature a visual [[head-mounted display]] (HMD) overlaying digital content. Instead, they focus on hands-free media capture (photos and videos), audio features (music, calls, podcasts), and AI-powered assistance through [[voice command]]s and contextual awareness.<ref name="wiki"/> They are compatible with [[prescription lenses]].<ref name="TheVergeReview"></ref>

| '''Storage''' || 32 GB flash memory (approx. 500+ photos or 100+ 60s videos)<ref name="MetaNewsLaunch"/><ref name="RayBanProductFAQ"></ref>

===Meta AI Integration===

A key feature is the integration of [[Meta AI]], Meta's conversational [[artificial intelligence|assistant]]. Activated with the wake phrase "Hey Meta," the AI allows users to perform various tasks hands-free.<ref name="MetaNewsLaunch"/> Initial capabilities focused on information retrieval, device control, and messaging. A major update introduced multimodal AI capabilities (initially in beta in the US, rolling out more broadly), enabling the glasses to analyze what the wearer is seeing through the camera.<ref name="metaupdate"/><ref name="metaai"></ref> This allows for features like:

*'''Translation:''' Real-time translation of signs or menus the user is looking at (planned expansion to live speech translation).<ref name="metaai"/>

*'''Object/Landmark Recognition:''' Identifying places, monuments, or objects.

==Battery Life and Charging==

Battery performance is a key consideration for smart glasses.

*The included charging case resembles a standard Ray-Ban case and holds up to eight additional full charges for the glasses, extending the total potential usage time to approximately 36 hours.<ref name="MetaNewsLaunch"/>

*Charging the glasses within the case takes approximately 20 minutes to reach 50% charge and about 75 minutes for a full charge.<ref name="RayBanProductFAQ"/>
