Meta's new smart glasses priced at $800 are likely to be the highlight of the Connect conference

Meta is expected to launch its first consumer-grade smart glasses with a built-in display this Wednesday, continuing the momentum of its Ray-Ban series, which was an early consumer favorite in the era of artificial intelligence. Analysts suggest that the new glasses may be named "Celeste" and will come with Meta's first gesture control wristband, but the anticipated price of $800 may deter some buyers. Reports indicate that these glasses may bear the Prada brand. The event is scheduled to start at 5 PM Pacific Time. The glasses are expected to feature a small digital display on the right lens for basic tasks such as notifications, and will also include functionalities found in existing Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses, such as an AI assistant, camera, hands-free control, and live streaming to social media platforms including Instagram
