Meta Ray-Ban Display

The screen sits in the right lens alone: 600x600 pixels in full colour, about 20 degrees, declared at up to 5,000 nits, on a 69 g frame with a 12-megapixel camera and 32 GB. Teardowns by iFixit, Notebookcheck and TechInsights all read the chip as a Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1. The US$799 includes the Neural Band wristband, whose gestures UploadVR called flawless.

The developer answer changed midway through this product's life. In November 2025 UploadVR documented that only Meta could put an image on the display. On 2026-05-14 Meta opened it: a native iOS and Android SDK that extends a phone app onto the lens, and Web Apps in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, both able to draw text, image, button and video and to read the Neural Band gestures. It is still a preview. VR.org calls the access gated rather than universal, there is no public storefront, and a discussion in Meta's own iOS repository reports approval case by case.

The complaints are consistent. Tom's Guide gave 3 out of 5 and called the maps half-baked. UploadVR reports eye strain from the single-eye image, Bluetooth slow enough to hurt apps and navigation limited to a few cities. Karl Guttag puts the effective resolution near 400x400.

With correction the package is US$999, bonded at manufacture in 5 to 8 weeks. CNBC reported the rollout to other countries paused in January 2026, and there is no sale in Brazil or China.
