It takes time to realize that you do not have to hold your hand in front of you so that these gestures are recognized, but a surprisingly short time to find you with very few second reflection.
Of course, talking to Meta Ia remains a key way to interact with the glasses, but Meta hopes that adding visual elements will improve the chatbot experience. For example, the subtitling of live speech and the translation of language are always activated by the voice, but with the meta-ray-ban display, you can see the translations and legends appearing in real time on the glasses rather than on the screen of your phone. It’s the same with orders like “Hey Meta, what I look at”, which can now offer richer information visually on everything that front cameras point. Asking Meta to navigate to a local attraction results in glasses with rotating directions directly above the real world while you walk.
For the moments when the conversation can be difficult, Meta has also shown a functionality which follows the handwritten entry as an alternative to voice controls. Intended for fast messages, the user can “draw” letters with a tense finger on a flat service (or your leg), and the neural band will transform it into text. Although the functionality is part of the demo we have received, Meta says that it will not be available for users during the launch, but will arrive soon. Who knows, maybe it will be the thing that will help save handwriting.
Meta has recognized certain limitations with launch features. For example, integrated Spotify integration is able to show what plays on your phone and give you basic reading commands, and Instagram is currently limited to rollers and messages. Meta intends to soon expand capacities.
Also notable: the prototype Orion that we saw last year required an external washer to supply its most computer intensity capacities. But this design of prototypes offers a full range of augmented reality features. The set of AR features of this new display model is more limited, so the washer is not necessary. In addition, this means that screen frames are thinner. Meta finally plans to offer a full list of portable options to consumers: smart glasses, display glasses and complete AR glasses.
Ray-Ban screens will be available in black or sand colors from September 30 for $ 799 and will only be available in store in store in the United States. Meta says you have to buy them in person because the bracelet should be properly adjusted to the wrist of your dominant hand. In addition, people who sell you the system show you the hand gestures that control the glasses, although there will also be a tutorial procedure when you can also the first diet on the glasses.
Be ready to move quickly if you want them, however. Meta says there are limited quantities available and that other countries do not get them before the beginning of 2026.
Oakley Meta Vanguard
Following Oakley Meta HSTN glasses announced earlier this year, Meta’s new Oakley collaboration evokes the timeless look of an enveloping Oakley Spaera Glasses – but with a twist. This torsion is of course an ultrawid 12 megapixel camera with a field of vision of 122 degrees which is positioned in the middle of the lens, just on the deck of your nose. This is the optimal placement to record POV action sports videos up to 3K, as well as to capture scenes in the new engine and hyperlapse modes of the glasses.
Vanguards are very marketed with sports enthusiasts – those who could be inclined to choose meta -lunes rather than a GoPro, for example. To this end, the Vanguards have an IP67 waterproof rating, the best seal on any pair of meta. The speakers integrated into the frames of the frames are 6 stronger decibels to compensate for any loss of clarity caused by the sound of the wind, and a new table of 5 mics allows your controls to be clearly heard even when a gale of the Arctic makes you explode while you attack the slopes.
