Meta and smart glasses manufacturing partner EssilorLuxottica are readying two new generations of Ray-Ban AI glasses named \u201cScriber\u201d and \u201cBlazer,\u201d despite an ongoing class-action lawsuit\u00a0regarding the alleged collection of
\nsensitive video content from smart glasses users by third-party contractors. <\/p>\n

A series of FCC
\nfilings dated March 10, 2026 suggest that Meta is preparing two models of Ray-Ban AI glasses for public release.<\/p>\n

Aside from two sizing options — regular and large — no definitive

As noted in an early report from TheVerge, the Blazer and Scriber glasses are attached to model numbers — RW7001 and RW7002 — which are
\nhigher than available models (which range between RW4002 and RW4014), potentially denoting a major hardware upgrade.<\/p>\n

The FCC filings also include mentions of a Wi-Fi 6 UNII-4 band, a 5.9 GHz
\nfrequency range designed to provide extra capacity for Wi-Fi 6 routers, allowing for faster, more efficient performance with reduced congestion for indoor access points and devices. This updated tech
\nfunctionality could improve Ray-Ban AI glasses\u2019 livestreaming and Meta AI capability.<\/p>\n

Although Meta continues to cut funding and jobs from Reality Labs, the division is now primarily focused on
\ndeveloping its smart glasses products.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Reality Labs, we\u2019re directing most of our investment towards glasses and wearables going forward,\u201d Meta CEO Mark
\nZuckerberg told investors in January, citing that sales of its glasses more than tripled in 2025, with more than seven million pairs sold.<\/p>\n

However, as Meta continues to build out its glasses
\nofferings with new technology, functionality, and additional EssilorLuxottica
\nbrands, privacy concerns are mounting.<\/p>\n
