Meta's new Ray-Ban smart glasses are just a PR stunt to dodge the camera backlash

Meta's latest blind box smart glasses, the Meta Glasses Lisa Edition, are garnering attention for their innovative design and unique features. As the tech industry continues to be flooded with ads for gambling platforms and gacha systems, many users are seeking a break from the gamification of daily life. The Meta Glasses Lisa Edition, however, stands out in a positive way.

Collaborating with BlackPink star Lisa, the glasses feature a striking black and pink color scheme, paired with Lisa's iconic star emblem on each stem tip. But what truly sets these glasses apart are the 12 randomly included charms, each featuring a cute dog in a different pose and color. Inspired by Lisa's love of pets and blind boxes, these charms offer fans a delightful surprise with every pair of glasses purchased.

Priced at $339 (with UK and Australian pricing yet to be confirmed), the Meta Glasses Lisa Edition builds upon the specs of previous Meta models, including the 12MP ultra-wide camera capable of 3K recording, over eight hours of battery life, open-ear speakers, and six microphones for audio and calls. While the core features remain consistent, the design collaboration with Lisa brings a fresh, engaging element to the product.

Meta's approach to incorporating elements of the celebrity's personality into their designs has proven successful, as Lisa has expressed her enthusiasm for the random blind box aspect. Although some charms may be more special than others, the overall selection offers a range of options that won't leave fans disappointed. Rather than seeing the charms as a financial burden, many appreciate the delightful and inclusive nature of this feature.
