Overview

• U.S. rollout spans three models: Ray‑Ban Display at $799 shipping Sept 30, second‑gen Ray‑Ban AI at $379 on sale now, and Oakley Meta Vanguard at $499 with preorders open and Oct 21 delivery.
• Ray‑Ban Display adds an LCoS waveguide screen (600×600, ~20° FOV) designed to hide on‑lens content from others and avoid rainbow artifacts.
• The companion EMG handband reads muscle signals to control volume, capture photos, answer calls, and share view, with planned finger‑writing input and accessibility features.
• The second‑generation Ray‑Ban AI glasses double single‑unit battery life to about 8 hours (up to 48 hours with case), add 3K 30 fps ultra‑wide HDR video, offer other high‑frame‑rate modes, and support offline translation.
• Oakley Meta Vanguard targets sports with a centered 12MP camera, 122° field of view, IP67 durability, up to 9 hours mixed use (plus 36 hours via case), Strava and Garmin tie‑ins, and a programmable action button.
