Meta pauses international expansion of its Ray-Ban Display glasses

Meta has announced a pause in the international expansion of its Ray-Ban Display smart glasses due to overwhelming demand and limited supply. Originally planning to launch the glasses in France, Italy, Canada, and the U.K. in early 2026, the company now intends to focus on fulfilling U.S. orders first, as waitlists for the product currently extend well into 2026. Meta is reassessing its strategy for making the glasses available outside the U.S. amid these supply constraints. At the CES event in Las Vegas, Meta showcased upcoming features for the Ray-Ban Display glasses and its Neural Band accessory. New functionalities include a teleprompter feature for delivering prepared remarks and the ability to write messages by tracing finger movements on any surface, which the Neural Band then transcribes into digital text. Additionally, pedestrian navigation support is being expanded to new cities, including Denver, Las Vegas, Portland, and Salt Lake City.
