Here’s a roundup of all the new tech and software updates announced by Meta.

Speculation has been rife about Meta’s launch of smart glasses with a display, and they have finally debuted. Named the Meta Ray-Ban Display, these glasses boast a vibrant, high-resolution screen embedded in the right lens. This allows users to view messages, engage in video calls, read live captions, follow walking directions, and even preview photographs from the integrated 12-megapixel camera.

The display is navigated using a wristband, enabling users to scroll, click, and soon, compose messages with various gestures. Battery life for the glasses is impressive, offering up to six hours of mixed-use or an extended 30 hours when using the foldable charging case.

The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are priced starting at $799, available in both black and brown for the wristband and glasses. They will hit shelves in the US from September 30th at Best Buy, LensCrafters, and Ray-Ban outlets.

Meta has also introduced a new version of its acclaimed Ray-Ban smart glasses, now featuring an impressive eight-hour battery life, nearly doubling that of the original. This second generation retains a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, with enhancements allowing for 3K video capture and the ability to record at 60 frames per second.

Additionally, the included charging case has been upgraded to deliver 48 extra hours of power, up from the previous 36 hours. A new “conversation focus” feature is being introduced for the Ray-Ban Meta and the Oakley Meta HSTN glasses, which enhances the audio of the individual speaking to you in noisy environments.

The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses will start at $379 and are available now in the familiar Wayfarer, Skyler, and Headliner styles.

Meta is partnering with Oakley to launch a new pair of smart glasses designed for “high-intensity sports.” The Oakley Meta Vanguard feature a wraparound design, an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, along with integrations with fitness apps like Garmin and Strava, allowing you to ask Meta AI about your fitness data and stats.

Additionally, the Vanguard glasses feature a 12MP, 122-degree camera on the nose bridge, with the ability to record videos in up to 3K resolution, and they support new capture modes, like slow-motion, time-lapse, and hyperlapse, which are coming to Meta’s other AI glasses as well. Some other standout features include upgraded speakers and up to nine hours of battery life.

The Oakley Meta Vanguard glasses cost $499 and will come in four frame and lens color combinations when they launch on October 21st. Preorders are available now.

Meta’s new Hyperscape feature allows users wearing a Quest 3 or Quest 3S headset to scan their surroundings and transform them into a digital space. The company first showed off a demo of the feature at Meta Connect last year, but now users can try out a beta using the Hyperscape Capture app.

Meta is putting a new Horizon TV entertainment hub inside Quest headsets. There, you’ll find all of the streaming apps available on Quest headsets, including Prime Video, Peacock, Twitch, and YouTube. Meta announced today that Disney Plus, ESPN, and Hulu are also launching apps on the platform.

The Horizon TV hub supports Dolby Atmos surround sound, and Meta plans on adding Dolby Vision later this year. Some movies you watch through Horizon TV, like M3GAN and The Black Phone, will also come with “immersive special effects” that you can only see inside Quest headsets.

Meta revealed that its Horizon Engine “powers better graphics, faster performance, and more advanced worlds.” The engine is capable of powering Meta’s new Hyperscape feature, as well as allowing for larger capacities in virtual worlds. Meta also plans on upgrading its Horizon Studio with an agentic AI assistant that helps “stitch” together its existing AI tools that help people make virtual worlds.
