Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, already a popular choice for those seeking stylish tech, are about to get even smarter. Meta is leveraging its new Llama 3.2 AI model to expand the capabilities of these sunglasses, which include a camera and speakers.
One of the most exciting new features is live translation. Imagine effortlessly conversing with someone who speaks a different language – that’s now possible with your Ray-Bans. During a live demo, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg spoke with Brandon Moreno, one in English and the other in Spanish, while their Meta glasses translated their words in real-time. Although there’s a slight delay (one to three seconds) before the AI provides the translation, it’s a game-changer for users. Meta plans to support Spanish, French, and Italian initially, with more languages coming soon.
Meta’s AI is also gaining memory, allowing you to ask your glasses to remind you of things like where you parked your car or to pick up apples at the store. This adds another layer of convenience and practicality to these already versatile smart glasses.
Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are becoming increasingly helpful in daily life. They already have the ability to describe and answer questions about what you see, taking a photo with the integrated camera. Now, with multimodal AI advancements, you can scan QR codes with your glasses and even call phone numbers you see in print or on a billboard simply by asking.
Fashion-conscious users will appreciate the added feature of receiving fashion advice while selecting clothes and jewelry.
Be My Eyes, a service that connects people with low vision or blindness to sighted volunteers, is also benefiting from the integration of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Previously, users relied on their phones to live stream video to volunteers, but now, their Ray-Bans serve as the camera.
Beyond visual assistance, Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses double as earbud replacements. You can take calls, listen to music, and even access audiobooks and podcasts. Meta has improved integrations with Spotify and Amazon Music, and added support for Audible and iHeartRadio. More integrations and AI improvements are in the pipeline, making Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses a constantly evolving device.
To celebrate the success of these smart glasses and their journey towards an augmented reality future, Meta is releasing a limited-edition version of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses with clear frames. These stylish glasses have been previously seen on Meta CTO Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, and now, they’re available to the public.
With these advancements in AI and new features, Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are quickly becoming a must-have for anyone looking to experience the future of smart technology, all while looking incredibly stylish.
