Ray-Ban Meta Display

The big announcement of the event was the Ray-Ban Meta Display, Meta's first smart glasses with a mini color display built into the lens. It projects the image into the field of vision of the right eye, with 600×600 pixel resolution and rate of 90Hz refresh rateThis screen has adaptive brightness, ranging from 30 to 5.000 nits, allowing use both indoors and in strong sunlight.

The stems have built-in speakers, which function as discreet headphones.

Gesture control: the glasses kit includes a Neural Band (neural bracelet, in free translation), which detects electrical impulses from the arm muscles and transforms them into actions on the screen. The user can swipe, pinch, adjust the volume, and even write with their fingers using gestures, without touching the glasses.

The model has battery life up to 6 hours, with a case that extends use to about 30 extra hours. He has Lenses Transitions, which darken if you wear them in the sun, or become transparent in other environments, which is perfect for wearing them to work, for example.

The design follows the classic style Wayfarers da Ray-Ban, which makes it easier to accept as an everyday accessory—without the futuristic appearance of other wearables. Early journalists who tested them say people can't tell you're wearing glasses with a screen, which should help integrate them into daily use without causing any awkwardness.
