Key Points
- Meta launches AI-powered glasses starting at $299 with three frame styles
- Kylie Jenner collaboration marks her first venture into wearable technology
- Live translation now supports 20 languages including Hindi, Japanese and Mandarin
Meta has launched a new range of AI-powered smart glasses starting at $299 (approximately ₹28,000) in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the company announced on Tuesday (23 June).
The glasses feature built-in artificial intelligence capabilities and mark the latest expansion of the social media company’s push into wearable hardware.
The launch includes a collaboration with American media personality Kylie Jenner, marking her first venture into wearable technology. Meta said the new glasses build on its existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta product lines, which the company claims are the world’s best-selling AI glasses.
The Meta Glasses range comprises three frame styles: Meta Adventurer, described as a rectangular shape available in standard and large sizes; Meta Fury, a larger frame design; and Meta Glasses by Kylie, a slim oval frame.
The glasses come in seven colours including Classic Black, Classic Tortoise and Racing Green, with options for sun lenses, Transitions lenses, polarised lenses and clear lenses developed by EssilorLuxottica.
AI capabilities powered by new Muse Spark model
The glasses run on Meta AI, the company’s artificial intelligence assistant, powered by Muse Spark. Muse Spark is the first AI model from Meta Superintelligence Labs and is described by the company as having enhanced multimodal capabilities — the ability to process and respond to different types of input including voice, images and video simultaneously.
Meta said the AI assistant can answer questions, provide information about what the wearer is seeing through the glasses’ camera and help manage daily tasks. The glasses feature a dedicated action button to activate the AI assistant, which can also be customised to launch other features.

New features and language support
Meta announced several software features launching alongside the glasses. Dynamic photo automatically captures multiple frames when taking a photograph and recommends what the company considers the best shot. Pedestrian navigation, which provides turn-by-turn walking directions through audio, is listed as coming soon for glasses without built-in displays.
