Discover the latest on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses which are blending classic style with cutting-edge tech. Learn how they work, their pros & cons, and how Malaya Optical can help you explore future-ready eyewear in Malaysia.
As professional optometrist at Malaya Optical, we have witnessed how eyewear has evolved from simple vision correction to becoming a central piece of lifestyle, fashion and now technology.
Introducing the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, a groundbreaking innovation by Ray-Ban and Meta (formerly Facebook). These aren’t your typical shades, they’re a sleek fusion of fashion and function, designed for today’s digitally connected world.
If you’re curious about what they do, how they work, and whether they’re right for you, here’s your complete guide plus a look at how Malaya Optical fits into the future of eyewear.
What Are Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses?
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are wearable tech built into classic Ray-Ban frames, such as the iconic Wayfarer and Headliner. But these glasses do much more than help you see.
Key Features:
- 12MP Camera – Take photos and HD videos with a voice command or tap.
- Open-Ear Audio – Listen to music or take calls discreetly.
- Voice Control – Say “Hey Meta” to record, post, or get updates.
- Live Streaming – Stream directly to Instagram or Facebook.
- Meta AI (in select regions) – Ask questions or translate languages on the go.
