(Monday September 15, 2025 @11:30PM (BeauHD) from the sneak-peak dept.)


A leaked Meta video revealed upcoming "Meta Ray-Ban Display" smart glasses with a monocular HUD and sEMG wristband control, [1]set to debut at Connect 2025 for around $800 . Despite past hesitation, it looks like EssilorLuxottica has agreed to co-brand after Meta [2]invested $3.5 billion in the company, taking a 3% stake. UploadVR reports:

> Meta's HUD glasses with the sEMG wristband will in fact be Ray-Ban branded, a leaked video which also depicts the HUD and wristband in action reveals. A quickly removed unlisted video on Meta's YouTube channel showed what will soon be Meta and EssilorLuxottica's full lineup:

>

> - The regular Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

> - The recently-launched Oakley Meta HSTN glasses.

> - The rumored Oakley Meta Sphaera glasses, with eye protection and a centered camera.

> - The rumored monocular heads-up display (HUD) glasses controlled by Meta's long-in-development sEMG wristband, which are labeled as "Meta Ray-Ban" with the word "Display" underneath.

The smart glasses are expected to be made official during the Meta Connect 2025 keynote at 5pm PT on Wednesday.

Isn't it more like the spy glasses from the first Mission Impossible? Could livestream anything from a FPV. Instead of having a strange angle like a bodycam, it'll be the same vantage point as the person wearing them sees. These "day in the life of" could be realistic. Especially if covert. Maybe a return of Surveillance Cameraman, on a wide scale? On that subject, what happened to all those videos?

Is that like a programmable flag they've got or something? IsPervert, IsNonPervert, something like that?

Because if it is, I reckon IsPearlClutcher would be a much more profitable grift for their algorithms, just saying.

More like the Cone of Silence from Get Smart.

Nobody likes a glasshole. Anyone who wears these more or less advertises themselves as a fucking narc who should be avoided at all costs.

Does it work without a Facebook account and 24/7 creepy corporate surveillance?
