Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses livestream to Instagram and Facebook

Meta unveiled the new Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses at Meta Connect in Menlo Park, California, with the key upgrade that they can livestream video to Facebook and Instagram, a feature the original Ray-Ban Stories lacked. The glasses have a 12-megapixel camera that records 1080p video, and an LED light on the other side that turns on during recording and cannot be covered without the system blocking capture. Preorders open in 15 markets, with sales starting October 12 at $299 for standard lenses, $329 for polarized and $379 for transitions.
