Meta has been all-in on smart glasses for a while now, but the price has typically been a deterrent. To try to get more people on board with its AI vision, Meta has launched a new set of smart specs starting at $469, the brand’s cheapest wearables so far.
Known simply as the ‘Meta Glasses’, the latest range consists of three different designs: Adventurer, Fury, and Glasses by Kylie (of the Jenner variety). All three models are part of a new range with fashion brand EssilorLuxottica. Each one has a different look, with the Adventurer a more traditional rectangular shape, Fury slightly bigger and rounder, while the Kylie Jenner-inspired pair opt for a slimmer, oval-shaped look.
As for what makes these glasses ‘smart’, each pair has built-in speakers, microphones, and cameras. Consistent with Meta’s smart glasses before them, these specs (not to be confused with Snap’s US$2,195 SPECS) include various AI-based features, like live translation, with pedestrian navigation coming soon to models like these without a built-in display. There’s also a dedicated button for Meta AI, the brand’s smart assistant designed to respond to context-based queries.
According to Meta, the glasses include “built-in safeguards to respect the privacy of people around you”. An LED light turns on when the camera’s in use, while Meta’s website has various tips for responsible use. Whether people follow those guidelines or not is a whole different thing.
Meta also advertises “over eight hours of battery” for the new smart glasses. That should be enough for all-day use, provided you’re not using every feature at every waking moment.
Australians can get the new Meta Glasses now via Meta’s online store or optical retailers. In addition to the $469 starting price for the Adventurer and Fury designs, the Kylie design starts at a pricier $629 locally.
