Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses expand to five new markets with online ordering
Meta is adding navigation, calling, entertainment and productivity features while expanding the glasses to five new markets.
What happened
At Connect 2026, Meta announced updates to Meta Ray-Ban Display, including hands-free cycling and public-transit directions, landmark-based walking instructions and a photorealistic hologram for WhatsApp calls. The hologram will enter Early Access for US users later this fall. A new Explore app will offer experiences built for the glasses, while other additions include Dolby Atmos video capture, calendar controls, mirrored notifications and Threads Community Feeds. The glasses are now available through online ordering in the US, UK and Canada. Pre-orders begin progressively in France, Italy and Germany, with availability there starting October 13.
Why it matters
The expansion gives consumers in five additional markets access to the glasses, while the new features make navigation, calls, meetings, notifications and media use possible with less reliance on a phone.
