Ray-Ban Meta at Germany, Europe

Ray-Ban Meta is the line of AI-augmented smart glasses co-developed by Meta and EssilorLuxottica (the Ray-Ban brand owner). The registry records it as the canonical AI-augmented (not AI-native) case: these are mainstream eyewear (prescription lenses or sunglasses) with a camera, open-ear audio, calls, and livestreaming, on top of which Meta AI is layered as a voice and multimodal 'look and ask' feature.

The lineage shows the augmentation explicitly: first-gen Ray-Ban Stories (2021) shipped with cameras and audio but no AI assistant; Meta AI was added with the second-generation Ray-Ban Meta (2023, $299); and the 2025 Connect lineup added Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, Oakley Meta Vanguard, and the Ray-Ban Display with an sEMG Neural Band ($799). The glasses are genuinely consumer-available and mainstream at retail, and Meta extended the EssilorLuxottica partnership beyond 2030 (Meta holds about a 5% stake).

Reported sales of about 7 million units in 2025 are company-stated (EssilorLuxottica earnings), not independently audited. Maturity=commercial (shipping at scale).
