What is Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2)?
Wearers talk to Meta AI hands-free to ask questions, take photos and videos, send messages, play audio and get answers about what the camera sees. Live translation and Conversation Focus, which boosts the voice of the person you are talking to, are built in.
Compared with the first generation, which starts at $299, Gen 2 roughly doubles battery life and captures video with twice as many pixels. Meta's wider line-up includes prescription-first optical styles from $499, Oakley Meta models and the Meta Ray-Ban Display, which adds an in-lens display.
