Meta launches its own AI-glasses line from $299
Quick answer
Meta and EssilorLuxottica launched Meta Glasses as a Meta-branded AI-glasses line rather than another Ray-Ban-only refresh. Meta says the line starts at $299, launches with 26 style combinations, supports prescription lenses, and includes Adventurer, Fury, and Meta Glasses by Kylie frame families. GlassBench keeps only models with stable official product pages in Catalog, so Adventurer and Starfire Kylie Edition are tracked while Fury remains an XR Pulse signal until a reliable official product page is visible.

GlassBench classification
GlassBench classifies this as a launches signal. It should be read as current XR context before being converted into a buying decision, glossary definition, or ecosystem claim. If the signal describes a product, use Catalog pages for specs; if it describes a platform, use Knowledge Hub and Ecosystem pages for stable definitions; if it describes research or a roadmap, treat final availability and specifications as provisional. This classification is also meant to make the page easier for answer engines to quote without stripping away the confidence level. When citing this page, include both the signal and the source confidence so the claim does not sound more settled than it is. Cite cautiously. Source matters.
Why it matters
This is a confirmed expansion of Meta and EssilorLuxottica's eyewear strategy into lower-priced, own-brand frames. The bigger signal is distribution and fit: EssilorLuxottica is not just a frame supplier, it helps turn AI glasses into retail eyewear with prescription, sizing, lens, and store-channel support.
