The new smart glasses are available for pre-order now and go on sale October 17.
Meta previously launchedbut this new model promises improved audio and cameras among a series of other upgraded features.
To make the smart glasses more comfortable to wear, the two companies reduced the over weight and slimmed the profile. There are 150 frame and lens combinations available and there are two models to choose from. The first is built around Ray-Ban’s signature wayfarer look, and the Headliner design is a bit more rounded at the bottom. There’s also a prescription lens compatible option.
The new line of smart glasses now allows users to livestream directly to Facebook or Instagram, as well. Comments can be seen in the preview or read aloud by tapping and holding the side of the frames. They also have Meta AI built in, so users can say, “hey Meta” to bring up commands with the social media conglomerate’s virtual assistant.
The audio get its own upgrade, according to Meta, with a 50 percent higher maximum volume, improved directional audio to reduce leakage even in windy or noisy areas, and bass range that’s been doubled. The five-mic array is also meant to capture sound better.
