EssilorLuxottica, Meta Launch the Ray-Ban Display, Neural Band With EMG Technology

Quick Take: EssilorLuxottica and Meta expand on their partnership with what the companies describe as “the most future-forward product to come from their collaboration” with Meta Ray-Ban Display, AI glasses with a first-ever integrated display, that work in tandem with the Meta Neural Band.  Specifics: The glasses feature a built-in, full color, 600x600 visual display in the right lens that discreetly shows wearers incoming messages, previews of photos to capture, video calls, and visual AI information like step-by-step instructions. Customers can order Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses with their own unique prescription, and each pair comes fitted with Transitions lenses. The display glasses come with the Meta Neural Band, an EMG wristband that enables you to control the glasses with subtle hand and finger movements. Display will be available at select brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S. beginning September 30, with expansion to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK planned for early 2026. Selling Point: “Meta Ray-Ban Display showcases the best of our two companies in terms of our lens technology and wearables design expertise, and Meta’s leadership in AI and software architecture, and it completely redefines what it means to be ‘hands-free,’”  said Francesco Milleri, chairman and CEO at EssilorLuxottica. “These, along with the next generation of Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses, will take us all to new places and levels of performance in style. We’re incredibly proud to be pioneers with Meta in this space, with a long runway of innovation still ahead.” www.Meta.com; My.EssilorLuxottica.com
