## Availability

_Status: shipping-now_

Ray-Ban Meta is shipping and sold widely through Meta, Ray-Ban, and retail. EssilorLuxottica reported about 7 million smart glasses sold in 2025, a manufacturer-reported figure DEPLOY cites as stated.

## Status

Ray-Ban Meta is the verified exemplar of the AI-wearable cohort: the AI features Meta marketed (Meta AI voice assistant, photo and video capture, live translation, and Look-and-Ask) generally deliver in the shipping product, a contrast with wearables whose demos outran delivery. The line descends from the camera-only Ray-Ban Stories (2021); the AI features arrived with Ray-Ban Meta (2023) and expanded through Gen 2 and the Ray-Ban Display.
