Meta Connect 2025 kicked off with an exciting keynote, featuring a live demo of the new Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. While the glasses showed promising potential, the demonstration faced several technical hiccups that marred the overall presentation.

During the Meta Connect 2025 keynote, Zuckerberg introduced the translucent Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, opting for a live demo rather than a pre-recorded video. This bold choice, however, did not go as smoothly as planned. At one point, Zuckerberg was unable to answer a video call, which caused him to become flustered and ultimately abandon that segment of the demo.

Despite these challenges, viewers were able to catch a glimpse of the glasses’ key features. The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses come equipped with a Meta Neural Band, enabling users to navigate the display and write messages through hand movements. While the glasses also offer dictation capabilities, this feature was not showcased during the demo.

In addition to innovative controls, the glasses feature a translucent screen and boast an impressive 18-hour battery life. They are water-resistant and come with two transition lenses designed for both indoor and outdoor use, enhancing their versatility.

The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are set to be released on September 30, 2025, with a retail price of $799 USD. Despite the rocky live demo, these glasses represent an intriguing step forward in wearable technology, blending style and functionality.
