Invasive use of Meta’s camera-enabled smart glasses has earned them the moniker “pervert glasses,” and the company has prepped a solution for Meta Connect 2026: Ray-Ban Meta Audio, smart glasses that ditch cameras entirely to focus on audio features and AI.

Meta just showed off its third-generation lineup of Ray-Ban-branded AI glasses, and the latest frames come with more hours of battery life and a bit of a price hike. Starting at $449, the Gen 3 Ray-Ban Meta Glasses now come in an Aviator style and a more angular frame called Zena.

Instead of a new Quest headset, the company showed off a more portable but less immersive device today.
