The "Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2" being released in Korea consists of Ray-Ban's signature styles: Wayfarer, Skyler, and Headliner. It is equipped with a battery that lasts up to eight hours, and supports 3K Ultra HD photo and video capture with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. Open-ear audio technology provides an immersive sound experience.

Users can activate various functions such as taking photos and recording videos through the "Hey Meta" voice command. Captured content can be edited and shared via the Meta AI app, which also supports device setup and software updates.

Ray-Ban Meta will be available with a variety of lens options, including sunglasses, clear lenses, polarized lenses, and photochromic lenses. In addition, two eyewear models designed for prescription lens wearers are planned for future release.

Oakley Meta will be offered in two styles: "Vanguard" from the performance line and "HSTN" from the lifestyle line. The Oakley Meta Vanguard features Oakley's signature Prizm lens technology, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and noise reduction to minimize wind noise. It is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance.

The Oakley Meta HSTN is equipped with a built-in 3K Ultra HD camera and open-ear speakers in the frame. Some models also incorporate Oakley's Prizm lens technology, known for delivering sharp vision and high contrast.

Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta are designed so that an LED indicator automatically lights up during photo or video shooting, alerting those nearby that recording is in progress. Ray-Ban Meta will be available at department stores, duty-free shops, and optical stores nationwide, while Oakley Meta will be sold at department stores, duty-free shops, optical stores, and Oakley partner stores in Korea.

Teh Siang Lim, Country Manager of EssilorLuxottica Korea, stated, "We expect Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta to offer a new lifestyle experience to Korean consumers who value both style and innovative technology," adding, "We plan to continue expanding a diverse AI glasses lineup in Korea, ranging from lifestyle to performance, and create a new product category in the market."

Kim Jina, CEO of Meta Korea, said, "AI glasses are the most ideal device for understanding users' situations and contexts in real time," and added, "We look forward to Korean consumers joining us at the beginning of this new AI experience through this launch."
