That is all, goal Connect 2025 is made and dusty, and it was an underlying show of one hour full of height with smart glasses in which we cannot wait to sink our teeth.
The program star was, of course, the new goal screen Ray-Ban, which finally added a screen to the Ray-Ban smart glasses we know and love. We could also see the new Oakley Vanguard smart glasses that look perfect for sports, Gen 2 Ray-Ban smart glasses that offer a handful of updates about what has arrived before, and James Cameron almost ruined the next search headset before Mark Zuckerberg escaped with dipl.
If you didn’t tune in live, you’re in luck. We have a summary here for you of the 7 largest ads of the event so you can catch up in a very short time.
We knew it approached, but the announcement is no less exciting. Meta Ray-Bans finally come with a screen, which will help you perform more daily tasks with their shows, including the checks of messages, a preview of the photos of their smart glasses and walk through the city with screen addresses.
While it is not the first smart glasses with a screen that we have tried, the great thing about the finishing specifications is that the screen is in full color, which should make it more useful than the typically monochromatic screen glasses that we have tested so far (such as the Rokid glasses). They have a solid battery life to start. Goal is promising “up to six hours of mixed use battery” and “up to 30 hours of battery in total” if you use the load case, which is foldable for easier storage while using the specifications.
The only inconvenience is that the glasses are remarkably thick, although we have had practical time with them, and in our demonstration, we do not find that they were less comfortable than the previous goals.
As expected, you must also pay a higher price for the finishing display specifications. The glasses begin at $ 799 (other TB regional prices), and will be launched in the US. UU. On September 30, which will quickly approach us.
Meta says that he will expand the availability to Canada, France, Italy and the United Kingdom in early 2026. “Read our first look at the goal glasses Ray-Ban here.
If you collect the finish screen Ray-Ban, you will not only get new glasses but a new smart band in the form of a neuronal target band.
This EMG bracelet is very similar to the one we have used with Meta’s Orion Prototype, its GAKES in development, and allows you to control your glasses using manual movements, which can even be quite subtle movements.
Apparently, the band is based on “deep learning algorithms based on data from almost 200,000 participants in consent research”, and Meta added that this means that almost everyone should be able to use the band outside the box.
You will only need the band to control your glasses, and you should last all day with a 18 -hour battery life and a reasonable IPX7 water rating; You will survive heavy rains, just don’t forget to take off before swimming.
3. Gen 2 Ray-Bans also come
Goal not only gave us new Ray-Ban specifications with a screen; He also launched gen 2 versions of his Ray-Ban glasses, which calls “the best-selling glasses in the world” (based on sales data to July 2025).
In design terms, they are basically identical to the existing Meta Ray-Ban Smart glasses, but with up to twice the battery duration (now up to eight hours) and 3K HD HD HD Video capture with the highest resolution, they should be a more useful AI accessory.
GEN 1 specifications also remain for now, although they adhere to their original price as the Gen 2 glasses begin at a higher cost of $ 379 / £ 379 / AU $ 599. We are waiting for the regional price for non -standard lenses, but in the US We believe that most people would find useful depending on our experience with the Gen 1 Ray-Ban Smart-Smart target glasses.
4. Oakley Vanguard will increase your sports game
In order not to be behind, the other Essilorluxoica Meta, Oakley collaboration brand, gave us a new pair of avant -garde smart glasses, which follows from the smart glasses HSTN that the duo launched earlier this year.
These athletic tones acquire a wrapped design more similar to a viewfinder, changing the camera from the temple (where it is in the other finishing specifications) to the center of the glasses, sitting on the bridge of the nose.
They trust Oakley’s prizm lenses, which are designed to increase the contrast of their vision so that it can more easily detect the changes in the field that is executing or by bicycle. This should help you be better prepared. You will also find that they are equipped with some technological updates on HSTN’s specifications to focus more on being your perfect sports partner than a fashion accessory.
First, they have the “most powerful speakers” of Meta in their AI lenses so far. They are 6DB stronger than the HSTN glasses, which should make it easier to hear what their glasses say about the sound of a 30 mph wind that passes by you while it turns by bicycle.
Second, you can use the goal AI application to combine your glasses with Garmin Tech and Strava Compatible. Using these integrations, you can say something like “Hello goal, what is my heart rate?” Or “Hello goal, how am I?” To obtain real -time information about your physical condition to know if you are striving too much or at the rhythm to record a PB.
Meta has also added an automatic capture function that allows the glasses to automatically capture videos when you reach the milestones away, increase their heart rate or reach a new elevation. We can imagine that this is an excellent way to document your next marathon.
5. Meta added more content options to the search
While much of the Connect goal approach was on the 2025 smart glasses line, Mark Zuckerberg could not miss a key note without addressing the VR headphones search line. This time, The Spotlight was in the entertainment content, going beyond virtual reality games such as several Star Wars titles and the next DEADPOOL VR experience.
Nicknamed Horizon TV, this will serve as the single center within Quest headphones to discover content, and is bringing a new important service to the platform. Disney+ arrives for easy access to popular television programs and films of one of the main transmission services, and Horizon TV will add support for Dolby Vision at the end of this year to join the Dolby Atmos sound that already offers to offer a more immersive entertainment experience.
James Cameron, World Fame film director, took the stage to promote The Quest’s performance as an entertainment machine at home and announce that an exclusive Avatar 3D clip: Fire and Ash is available at this time at the Meta Horizon TV for limited time.
But what mattered to us a lot was how close it was to spoil the next Meta VR headphones.
Annoyed, he did not let them slide a lot, but his comments make us believe that, although Connect 2025 was the year of smart glasses, Connect 2026 will be all in VR once more.
We only have 365 days until we discover it.
7. Great virtual reality updates are on the horizon
Meta did not completely forgot the virtual reality; Together with Horizon TV, he also updated his Horizon Studio and debuted the Meta Horizon engine.
According to the reports, Horizon Engine has been “built from scratch and optimized to help give life to the metal” by offering better graphics and faster performance. A bold promise for developers who could bring their plans to the reality.
As for Meta Horizon Studio, this center for creators includes a range of AI tools that will soon be used by an AI agent, allowing him to unite a complete virtual reality based on just a few simple text indications. This is one that we will need to try.
