Meta's Upcoming Smart Glasses with Built-In Display and EMG Wristband Leaked Ahead of Connect Event

Meta appears to have inadvertently disclosed details about its forthcoming smart glasses ahead of the scheduled Connect event on September 17. An unlisted video briefly posted online showcased new Ray-Ban branded smart glasses equipped with a built-in display and an electromyography (EMG) wristband for interface control.

The leaked video reveals that the smart glasses feature a display integrated into the right lens, allowing users to view information such as map previews and messages. The device is designed to work in conjunction with an EMG wristband, which detects muscle signals from the wrist, enabling gesture-based control through actions like pinching and tapping.

In addition to the Ray-Ban model, the video also introduced Oakley-branded smart glasses, reportedly featuring a camera positioned on the nose bridge. This design element was previously rumored but had not materialized in earlier models.

While the video did not disclose pricing details, previous reports suggest that these new smart glasses will start at $800. The official announcement is expected during Meta's Connect event, where further specifications and availability details are anticipated.
