Aside from introducing software updates, the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are also getting a new design and transition lenses from EssilorLuxottica. Meta released the new limited-edition clear frames that remind us of an old-school Game Boy Color. There will only be 7,500 units of this special edition pair, so these might be gone by the time you read this.

Now, if you've been waiting for transition lenses for the Ray-Ban Metas, the UltraTransitions GEN S lenses allow you to adapt quickly to different light conditions. You can check those out here.

Meta is pushing out a series of upgrades for its Ray-Ban Meta glasses that should make them a bit smarter. One change is it'll be easier to engage with Meta AI. As usual, you start a conversation by saying "Hey Meta." From there, you can just continue asking follow-up questions without repeating the wake word. Plus, you no longer need to say "look and" to ask Meta AI about the object you're looking at.

You can now ask your Ray-Ban Metas to remind you about things, which you can later see on your phone. Examples Meta gave include remembering where you parked your car and setting alerts to message or call someone at a specific time.
