Meta Launches $299 Fury AI Glasses Without Ray-Ban Branding as Muse Spark Sharpens AI

3 articles · Updated · Gizmodo · Jul 1

Summary

  • $299 Fury glasses give Meta its cheapest AI eyewear yet, replacing Ray-Ban branding while keeping the same 12-megapixel camera, 3K video, open-ear audio and roughly 8-hour battery life.
  • Meta says dropping the Ray-Ban name helps lower prices and broaden choice; the new line also adds adjustable nose pads, bendable temple tips, a flatter charging case and a programmable action button.
  • Muse Spark, now available across Meta smart glasses in the U.S. and Canada, made computer-vision tasks more accurate and conversational in testing, though navigation still often bounced users back to their phones.
  • Privacy concerns still shadow the launch: Meta has faced scrutiny over using captured images and video to train AI, and the Fury's smaller, less noticeable camera and LED may heighten surveillance worries.
