What is the difference between Ray-Ban Meta and Ray-Ban Meta Display?
The display. Ray-Ban Meta have a camera, speakers, microphones and artificial intelligence, but everything they give back is sound. Ray-Ban Meta Display add a 600 × 600 px monocular display in the right lens, so you can also see messages, directions or a translation as you go, and they are operated with the neural wristband rather than by voice.
How many units of each model are there?
Of the Ray-Ban Meta we hold more than 50 units, enough to kit out a whole hosting team or the guests at an activation. Of the Ray-Ban Meta Display the units are limited: it is a very recent and very scarce product, so it is worth booking well ahead and they are usually used as a highlight rather than to cover everybody.
What is the Meta Neural Band and do you need to learn to use it?
It is a wristband worn on the forearm that reads the electrical signals in your muscles, so it recognises the smallest of gestures: pinching thumb and index finger selects, thumb and middle finger goes back. You do not have to raise your hand or speak. It takes under a minute to learn and, if you add the staff service, our technician explains it to every guest.
What are glasses like these used for at an event?
Mainly two things. One, generating first-person content: whoever wears them records what they see without pulling out a phone, and that material gets published there and then. And two, as a technology draw on the stand, because people want to try them and ask questions. The Display ones add a third use: showing information to the wearer without the audience noticing, which works very well for speakers and floor staff.
Is it written Ray-Ban, Rayban or Ray Ban?
The brand is Ray-Ban, hyphenated, and the products are officially called Ray-Ban Meta and Ray-Ban Meta Display. You will see all three spellings and they are the same product: the smart glasses Meta and Ray-Ban make together.
Do you set them up with our content?
Yes, that is one of the optional services. If you book it, they come paired, updated, with accounts created and with whatever permissions and settings the event needs. If a custom application or publishing flow is required, we develop it.
Do they record people without them knowing?
No, and it is worth spelling out because it is the most common question. The glasses turn on a visible light while recording, and how they work has to be explained both to whoever wears them and to the people around. At events open to the public we recommend signage, and if our staff are covering the event they take care of it.
Can you program the glasses for what I need?
Yes. We develop on Meta's official kit for these glasses and we have ten working demos — museum guide, brand treasure hunt, training with step verification, document reading, barcode stocktaking, inspection with a PDF report — to start from. The usual route is to take one and fit it to your case, which is considerably faster than starting from scratch.
Do the images recorded by the glasses go to any server?
No. All the analysis is done on the phone with the system's own components: no servers, no third-party keys and no internet connection. It works in a warehouse with no signal and no image leaves the device, which is what the data protection officer usually asks about.
Do you deliver hire across Spain?
Yes, islands too. Travel and logistics are fixed within the quote.
