This week, the company unveiled the Ray-Ban Meta x Coperni Limited Edition Glasses.
Revealed as part of Coperni’s Fall Winter 25 collection, these are the company’s “first-ever fashion-branded collaboration.” The collaboration product adopts Ray-Ban’s iconic Wayfarer look and gives it a translucent twist atop a black-grey framework.
Taking inspiration from its limited-run transparent editions introduced last year, the Coperni version also features a translucent look with the frame, marrying it with grey mirrored lenses. And for that final branded touch, there’s a prominent Coperni logo on the arm.
If you find yourself captivated by the stylish appearance of these new smart glasses, you will need not only a stroke of luck but also a significantly deeper pocket to secure a pair for yourself. This is because only a limited number of 3,600 units of the highly anticipated Ray-Ban Meta x Coperni Limited Edition smart glasses will be made available for purchase, with sales officially commencing on Monday.
Moreover, it is important to note that these exclusive glasses come with a price tag that exceeds that of the regular Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which are priced starting at $299 in the United States. In contrast, if you wish to own the Coperni edition, you will need to be prepared to part with a substantial $549 for each individual pair. The sales for these coveted glasses are set to kick off at 1 AM (PDT) / 9 AM (CET) on Monday, and they will be available for purchase through the online stores of Meta, Ray-Ban, and Coperni.
What are they good for?
Aside from their stylish looks, the biggest draw of these glasses is an upgraded 12-megapixel sensor that can capture pictures at a resolution of 3024 x 4032 pixels, while videos are recorded at a resolution of 1440 x 1920 pixels with a 30fps frame rate.
The onboard 32GB storage can save over 500 photos and roughly a hundred 30-second clips, while the battery is touted to last approximately four hours per charge. These glasses can also be utilized for video calling as well as live-streaming.
However, the most underrated aspect of these smart glasses is the onboard Meta AI. Users can ask it to scan QR codes in the camera’s field of view, translate text, recognize objects and music (via Shazam), offer historical details about monuments, note down information for future recall, and much more.
With a natural language voice command, these glasses can also find and play content from Spotify and Amazon Music via the onboard speakers. Additionally, there’s a live translation feature, alongside a real-time translation system for four languages, namely English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are specifically targeted at enhancing social media posting and maximizing the benefits of Meta AI on a less compute-intensive platform. Furthermore, the company is actively working on the Orion smart glasses with a holographic display and the Aria Gen 2 glasses that will feature capabilities such as heart rate sensing for research-related work.
