Meta has introduced a new feature for its Ray-Ban smart glasses, allowing users to see virtual text and images overlaid on the real world through a lens display. This update, announced in early 2025, enables functions like virtual writing and note-taking directly in the user's field of view.
Additionally, the glasses now support capturing video that combines what the user sees on the lens display, the real-world environment, and surrounding audio. This mixed-reality recording capability is designed for hands-free content creation and sharing.
The feature is part of Meta's ongoing effort to blend augmented reality into everyday eyewear. The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, first released in 2023, have been updated with software improvements and new hardware capabilities over time.
As of May 2026, the display feature is available to all users through a software update, though availability may vary by region. Meta has not disclosed specific sales figures but continues to expand the glasses' functionality.
