BoboVR has introduced the CG2, a nose bridge battery pack designed to simplify charging Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta smart glasses. This accessory eliminates the need to carry multiple proprietary charging cases by allowing users to charge three compatible models simultaneously or separately. The CG2 connects to the nose bridge of Ray-Ban Meta Gen 1, Gen 2, and Oakley Meta HSTN glasses, providing a full charge to the glasses' battery. This innovation is particularly useful for households owning different pairs, as it consolidates charging into one device.

The CG2's design offers practical advantages beyond just charging. It docks easily at home, allowing the glasses and the external battery to charge together, freeing up the original cases. Users benefit from not needing bulky cases for on-the-go charging, though wearing the glasses while charging remains impossible due to the nose bridge obstruction. This limitation exists despite some alternative chargers allowing wear-and-charge, albeit with added weight.

For Meta smart glasses owners, the CG2 represents a significant upgrade over the included cases. It functions as a full replacement charger and an extra battery pack for extended use. While Meta's Ray-Ban Display and Oakley Meta Vanguard use different charging systems and aren't compatible, the CG2 effectively addresses the charging hassle for the majority of Meta's current smart glasses lineup, ensuring battery life lasts all day for users of the supported models.
