Are you interested in a 'first of its kind' set of AI glasses with 'a private in-lens display and on-wrist control'? Well, you'd better get in line, buddy, as Meta has seemingly not been able to keep up with demand.
As reported in its CES 2026 blog (via TechCrunch), Meta's Ray-Ban Display, a "product with extremely limited inventory", has seen "an overwhelming amount of interest", meaning that the wishlist for the product continues to extend into 2026. As a result, the rollout of the glasses to the UK, France, Italy, and Canada will no longer happen in early 2026 as scheduled.

The glasses can currently display information like texts, images you've prompted it for, or even live captions and translations. You can use voice commands to control it, but if you don't fancy talking to yourself in public, that's what the band is for. As pointed out by Meta, the Display was included in the 'Wearable Technology' section of Time's best inventions of 2025, saying it "feels a world away from where the technology was just a few years ago."
However, this doesn't mean the glasses aren't without problems, as they had a pretty catastrophic live demo from none other than Mark Zuckerberg just before their launch.
