Leaked Video Reveals Meta's Upcoming Smart Glasses Ahead of Connect Event

A promotional video has surfaced, showcasing Meta's new 'Ray-Ban Display' smart glasses and a camera-equipped Oakley model, just days before their official unveiling at the Connect conference. The video, initially unlisted on Meta's YouTube channel, was reported and reposted by UploadVR.

The 'Ray-Ban Display' frames feature black frames with clear lenses, resembling previous Wayfarer designs. They incorporate a small display capable of showing information such as map previews, chats with friends, and contextual data. The video also highlights a dedicated wristband for device control, demonstrating a user swiping their fingers to type a reply in a chat application.

Additionally, the clip introduces a new pair of Oakley frames without a display. These sunglasses, based on Oakley's wraparound Sphaera frames, include a centrally positioned camera above the nosepiece. This design aligns with previous reports suggesting Meta's intention to market the glasses to cyclists and other athletes.

The video was briefly available on Meta's official YouTube channel as an unlisted clip before being removed. Meta has not yet commented on the leak.
