Meta's latest limited edition Ray-Ban smart glasses are here – and they're fancy

If you’ve been holding off on the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses because they just weren’t fancy enough, your time is here.
Meta unveiled its “first-ever fashion-branded collaboration” yesterday, launching the limited-edition Ray-Ban Meta x Coperni glasses. The glasses have the standard Ray-Ban Wayfarer frames, but in a transparent black shade with the Coperni logo and gray mirror lenses.

The company already unveiled a limited-edition transparent version of its smart glasses that retailed for $429, but these are slightly different — and carry the Coperni branding.
If you’re not familiar, Coperni is a French label known for mixing fashion and tech. In addition to making a handbag that looks just like the iPhone handbag emoji, it recently introduced the Swipe Bag Air, a bag that’s 99% air (it only weighs about 35 grams, and Coperni claims it’s the lightest bag ever made). Coperni paired its recent fashion show with a 200-person, 24-hour LAN party and models recording from the runway with Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Only 3,600 glasses available
Meta is only producing 3,600 of the glasses, which will have a price tag of $549. For comparison, the original Meta Ray-Bans start at $299. The glasses are available now at the Coperni, Meta, and Ray-Ban websites.

Internally, the glasses are the same as Meta’s standard model — they have a built-in 12 MP camera for photos and video recording, 32GB of storage, Meta AI, which lets you do things like learn more about what you’re looking at, take notes, and translate languages, the ability to make calls, and more. Meta recently added support for Shazam, letting you search and play content on Spotify and Amazon Music with your voice, and the ability for Meta AI to help you remember things.
Meta says new live AI and live translation features are currently in testing, giving you real-time translation between English and Spanish, French, or Italian.
