Meta has revealed a new pair of Ray-Ban branded smart glasses featuring a built-in display and a wristband controller that reads hand gestures. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the device, called Meta Ray-Ban Display, at the Meta Connect 2025 conference, confirming it will go on sale September 30 for $799.

The glasses display apps, alerts and directions directly on the right lens. Control comes via the Meta Neural Band, a wristband using electromyography (EMG) to detect signals between the brain and hand during small movements. The band resembles a screenless Fitbit, offers 18 hours of battery life, and is water resistant.

Meta is pitching the device as its strongest consumer push so far toward hardware that doesn’t depend on Google’s or Apple’s ecosystems. While the company has invested heavily in VR, it now sees AI-powered smart glasses as a more direct way to reach users.

The Ray-Ban Display builds on Meta’s earlier smart glasses, developed with eyewear partner EssilorLuxottica, which have sold in the millions. Like those models, the new glasses include an AI assistant, plus cameras, speakers and microphones. The addition of a display broadens what the glasses can do: users can access Meta apps such as Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook, see directions and live translations.

Reports of the device surfaced earlier this week after a leak, with media outlets noting its internal codename Hypernova. The product is notably less advanced than Meta’s Orion prototype shown at Connect 2024, which featured full AR lenses and eye tracking. That device remains years away from consumer release.

Zuckerberg argued the advantage lies in being first to ship something consumers can actually buy, even if competitors like Apple and Google are expected to follow with their own smart glasses. Tight integration with existing mobile operating systems could give those rivals a significant edge despite Meta’s early move.

DJI Teases Dual-Camera Osmo Pocket 4P For 2026 Launch

Though most technical claims for the new gimbal come from industry leaks rather than DJI’s own announcement.

DJI has teased a dual-camera version of its Osmo Pocket gimbal, confirming that the Osmo Pocket 4P will launch in 2026. The teaser image is the company’s first preview of the device, following months of speculation about a more advanced model in its pocket camera range.

The image shows a slightly larger device than the existing Osmo Pocket 4, with two camera modules mounted above a compact three-axis gimbal. Reports suggest one camera may use a 1-inch sensor paired with a wide-angle lens, while the second may carry a 3x zoom lens — though DJI has not officially confirmed any of these details.

According to leaks circulating ahead of the launch, the Osmo Pocket 4P could support 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, offer 14 stops of dynamic range and include 10-bit D-Log color support. Those features are commonly used by filmmakers who require greater flexibility during color grading and post-production. Reports also point to Hasselblad color tuning, continuing a partnership that has already appeared in some of DJI’s drone cameras, along with up to 128GB of built-in storage that would reduce reliance on external memory cards during longer shoots.

The device is expected to retain features from the existing Osmo Pocket 4, including a three-axis mechanical gimbal, updated ActiveTrack subject tracking and a flip-out touchscreen display. The Osmo Pocket line is aimed at content creators, vloggers, and independent filmmakers seeking compact equipment that can produce usable footage without a larger camera system.

DJI has not provided pricing or a specific launch date beyond the 2026 window. Industry observers expect the Osmo Pocket 4P to cost more than the standard Pocket 4 because of the dual-camera setup and expanded recording capabilities, though no figures have been disclosed. So far, most of the technical detail circulating around the product remains tied to leaks rather than official confirmation.
