Meta has reinforced its dominance in smart eyewear as the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) smart glasses begin worldwide retail availability. First previewed at Meta Connect 2026, the third-generation wearable introduces major hardware leaps designed for all-day wearability, enhanced camera capture, and real-time vision processing driven by Meta AI.
