Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the new generation of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses would start shipping on Oct. 17, priced at $299

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday rolled out a new generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses that can stream directly on Facebook, as well as new AI products for consumers and an updated virtual-reality headset, all elements of the company’s efforts to build out an immersive metaverse.

Earlier in the presentation Zuckerberg said the latest Quest mixed-reality headset would start shipping on Oct. 10. Zuckerberg spoke at the Meta Connect conference, the social media company’s biggest event of the year as well as its first in-person conference since the start of the pandemic. “A big part of this innovation is about making sure that these technologies are accessible to everyone,” Zuckerberg said, adding that making innovative new products that are affordable for everyone is “really important.”

To demonstrate the tool’s capabilities, Meta created a set of 28 chatbots with different personalities, styled in the voices of celebrities like Charli D’Amelio, Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady, according to a company blog post.
