Meta launches AI-powered Meta Glasses in Japan

Meta and EssilorLuxottica have launched the new Meta Glasses in Japan, starting at 50,600 yen. The product line features 26 different styles across three frame types: Meta Adventurer, Meta Fury, and a collaboration model, Meta Glasses by Kylie.

The smart glasses integrate Meta AI, allowing users to perform tasks via voice commands, and include open-ear speakers and a multi-microphone array with wind noise reduction. The devices support hands-free photo and video capture, featuring a mandatory white LED to notify others when recording is in progress.

Battery life lasts over 8 hours, with a charging case providing up to 40 additional hours. The glasses are compatible with prescription lenses, which can be fitted at authorized optical shops. In Japan, retailers such as Vision Megane are expanding their availability to meet high demand, noting that approximately 40% to 54% of customers opt for prescription lens options.
