Ray-Ban Meta Audio is Meta’s first camera-free smart glasses

Meta has introduced Ray-Ban Meta Audio , marking the first time the company has released smart glasses without a camera. Since there is no camera component taking up space, the frames weigh only 43 grams. According to Meta, these are its lightest and thinnest AI glasses to date, while keeping the well-known Ray-Ban design. Sound has remained the top feature among Meta glasses users from the very beginning. Listeners can enjoy music and podcasts, answer phone calls with voice pickup that beats earbuds, and speak with an AI assistant without lifting a finger.
