Users what they describe as “an unparalleled blend of style, functionality, and connectivity”.
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are getting smarter. The brand started testing multimodal AI updates in December 2023, which are designed to help the wearer understand the world around them by interpreting what they are seeing as well as what they are asking.
The roll out of Meta AI with Vision functionality to all Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in the US and Canada in beta version has taken place in April 2024.
Functions include being able to use the built-in camera to ask Meta AI for help writing a caption for a photo taken during a hike. The glasses can translate text on a sign or help you identify an object like an exotic fruit. This means Ray-Ban I Meta smart glasses are even more helpful throughout the day.
Furthermore, the glasses now offer a new software feature for video calling, which gives consumers the ability to share their view on a video call with WhatsApp and Messenger. A simple double-press of the capture button during your call will switch to the camera on the glasses.
Video calling on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses is rolling out gradually across countries.
“The breakneck pace of innovation means that we are in a different place today than we were even yesterday. Consumers are already used to the idea that tech can be worn and woven seamlessly into their lives. Now they’re asking, can it make me smarter, more creative, more productive?”, said Rocco Basilico. “Ray-Ban Meta, particularly with the addition of Meta AI with Vision, is a bold leap forward in terms of what it can do for the person who wears them. We’re delivering the next generation of superpowers, and we’ve tucked them neatly into the world’s favourite glasses”.
