Meta Reveals a Broad Next-Generation Smart-Glasses Lineup

Meta has announced camera-free audio glasses priced around $249–$449, an approximately $799 display model, and $1,299.99 entertainment-focused VR glasses planned for spring 2027. The Meta Ray-Ban Gen 3 announcement reinforces a $249 entry price and adds fit and audio claims, but offers no independent battery or privacy validation. Planned Muse AI could move glasses toward autonomous hands-free actions and payments, making permissions, cloud dependence, data training, comfort, and software support central consumer concerns.
