Meta Glasses hands-on: Ray-Ban is out, Kylie Jenner is in
ThinkingNews Desk · how this was written
Meta’s new glasses, branded with EssilorLuxottica, are marketed with Kylie Jenner’s name and will cost $399. They feature a tiny gemstone on the lens, a metal nose pad designed to resist makeup, and an AI-generated version of Jenner’s voice that allows the glasses to talk back to users. Dropping the Ray-Ban branding helped keep the price down.
