Meta has a new summer lineup of display-free smart glasses styles, but no changes to the camera design or AI privacy policies. I’m wearing a Fury pair of Meta Glasses. The Meta Starfire Kylie Edition glasses are in my hand. As Google, Samsung, Warby Parker, Gentle Monster and Xreal ready their first smart glasses for the fall, Meta’s launching a new line of its own smart glasses to get a head start on the competition. And Instagram star Kylie Jenner is part of it. I saw the new-look glasses in person at a Meta event in New York on Monday, and for the most part theit subtle design riffs on looks that have already been around. This time, however, the glasses — dubbed Meta Glasses — are fully Meta-branded, with no Ray-Ban or Oakley branding. They’re still made by EssilorLuxottica and sold through the same retail channels, but they start at a lower price: $299, compared with $379 for the Ray-Ban Gen 2
