Meta suspends international expansion of its Ray-Ban Display glasses

Meta is suspending plans to sell its Ray-Ban Display glasses outside the United States due to “unprecedented demand and limited supply,” the company said. said Tuesday. Meta had initially planned to launch the glasses in France, Italy, Canada and the United Kingdom in early 2026.

“Since launching last fall, we have seen tremendous interest and as a result, waiting lists for products now extend into 2026,” the company said. “Due to this unprecedented demand and our limited inventory, we have decided to pause our planned international expansion.”

Meta says it will continue to focus on fulfilling U.S. orders while re-evaluating its approach to international availability.

Unveiled in September, the Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses are controlled by a bracelet called the Meta Neural Band, which detects subtle hand gestures.

At CES this week in Las Vegas, Meta showed off new features regarding glasses and the Neural Band. The glasses feature a new teleprompter feature that gives users a portable way to deliver prepared remarks. Additionally, users can now jot down messages using their finger on any surface while wearing the Meta Neural Band and have those movements transcribed into digital messages.

Meta is also expanding pedestrian navigation to Denver, Las Vegas, Portland and Salt Lake City.
