- Ray-Ban and Meta have created a new design of smart glasses with Coperni
- It has a translucent black frame and mirror lenses
- It is limited to 3,600 units and costs $ 549 / £ 519 / $ 859 at
After last week’s teaser, the new Ray-Ban meta-lunettes design in a limited edition has just dropped-and I am more than a little disappointed with the result. Although this at least means that you should not be too upset if you fail to discover one of the 3,600 pairs sold.
We predicted that the new form could draw inspiration from a $ AP Rocky – the new creative director of Ray -Ban – but instead Ray -Ban and Meta collaborated with Coperni to create a reskin of his Wayfarers who made his debut last night (Sunday March 9) during the Coperni Fashion Week program.
Like the previous intelligent Meta and Ray -Ban specifications in a limited edition, these glasses have a translucent frame – although they opt for a translucent black rather than the completely clear frame that we have seen previously. They are also delivered with gray mirror lenses and include the Coperni logo at the end of each arm.
Regarding the equipment, they are identical to the other intelligent specifications of Meta and Ray-Ban, you can therefore count on them as a speakers open for music, a first-person camera for photos and videos, and a portable AI assistant who can help with tasks like live translation.
I will not claim that the smart edition intelligent glasses are anything but elegant, but they are much more bland than what I expected. There is no new form of a framework or detail of an interesting unique design which lives up to my expectations of the first collaboration of Meta and Ray-Ban in Smart Glasses with a third brand.
And this disappointment is aggravated by the cost of $ 549 / £ 519 / $ 859 to which is not only more expensive than the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Smart-Ban-Ban intelligent glasses (at $ 299 / £ 299 / $ 449 in) but also much more expensive than $ 429 / £ 429 of its previous limited reduction frames (they are not available in Australia).
To make things worse, I would say that the previous less expensive limited edition specifications were a better deal because they boasted of transition lenses – which are ideal for smart glasses because you are not limited to wearing them in a weather condition unlike reflective lenses that the new pair uses which are only practical in the sun.
If you completely disagree with me and like Coperni’s new collaboration, you will probably want to act quickly. With only 3,600 available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Australia, they are likely to sell soon.
