Two new models of Meta Ray-Ban AI glasses are on the way, and they’re going to be catered towards those who use prescription lenses, according to a Bloomberg<\/em> report. While these are supposed to be announced next week, Bloomberg<\/em> noted that these won’t be a “new generation” of Meta’s smart glasses.<\/p>\n You can already add prescription lenses to Meta Ray-Ban’s AI glasses, but the upcoming models will come in rectangular and rounded styles and will be sold through traditional prescription eyewear channels. Bloomberg<\/em> didn’t specify how these new glasses will differ from existing options, but noted that it’s the first time Meta and Ray-Ban are releasing a pair of AI glasses specifically designed for this demographic.<\/p>\n The two models are likely the codenamed products Scriber and Blazer, which were first spotted by The Verge<\/em> in filings with the Federal Communications Commission. The filings described the devices as production units, meaning Meta could be close to the actual product launch. Looking at the filings, it’s unlikely these upcoming prescription AI glasses will have a display like the Meta Ray-Ban Displays.<\/p>\n Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hinted at AI glasses that are meant for prescription glasses wearers in a previous earnings call. As noted by Bloomberg<\/em>, Zuckerberg previously said that “billions of people wear glasses or contacts for vision correction,” adding that, “it’s hard to imagine a world in several years where most glasses that people wear aren’t AI glasses.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
