It’s getting easier and easier to experience first-of-its-kind technology in real life thanks to a large-scale partnership between Meta and Best Buy.
In June 2026, the duo opened the doors to their first Meta Lab @ Best Buy location, offering immersive demos, hands-on testing and personalized fittings of the lineup of AI glasses and VR headsets from Meta. And by the end of 2026, the Meta Lab @ Best Buy location count is set to be 50 nationwide.
Meta Lab @ Best Buy. Best Buy
Every Meta Lab @ Best Buy will have Meta specialists hosting demos and readily available to help with product questions and purchases. Stores will also be stocked with the full suite of inventory from Meta, including Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta, Meta Ray-Ban Display and Meta Quest VR headsets.

When it comes to AI glasses, style and fit are just as important as function. At all locations, a dedicated style wall highlights the expansive assortment of glasses from Meta, letting people get a hands-on fit and feel for every frame. For Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses in particular experts will be available to guide people through each device’s native controls and the subtle hand gestures to use when pairing said device with the Meta Neural Band, a unique wearable that can operate glasses via muscle-activated technology
Additionally, get in-real-life access to the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S VR headsets with guided immersive demos, letting people experience their favorite games or movies in theater mode, or the latest High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout like never before.
