At Meta Connect 2026, Meta announced a range of new smart glasses, including its first camera-free options. The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 models continue to serve as the company's flagship line, building on improvements from earlier updates.
The new lineup expands Meta's wearable portfolio, offering choices for users who prefer glasses without a camera. The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 retain the core features that have defined the series, such as hands-free photo and video capture, live streaming, and AI-powered voice assistance.
Meta has not disclosed specific pricing or a release date for the camera-free models. The company emphasized that the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 remain its primary focus, with ongoing software enhancements planned.
This launch reflects Meta's continued investment in smart glasses as a platform for AI and augmented reality. Competitors are also developing similar products, but Meta's partnership with Ray-Ban has given it a prominent position in the market.
