Meta's smart glasses, Ray-Ban, first unveiled last year, have received a significant update aimed at enhancing the device's intelligence.
Among the new features is the "Reminders" function — the glasses can take pictures of what you're looking at and remind you about that item through notifications. Additionally, Ray-Ban can now scan QR codes and make calls to numbers that you view through the glasses.
Previously, the smart glasses offered text translation from still images, but the company promises to deliver "real-time voice translation" in the coming months, albeit with a limited selection of languages (English, French, Italian, and Spanish).
Initial reviews highlight that Meta Ray-Ban have become more responsive and can now easily recognize objects (previously, the AI struggled with this). In the next few months, Meta promises to provide real-time video processing for the glasses.
In addition to software updates, Meta will offer new lens kits — specifically, a limited edition transparent lens through which all internal technologies will be visible.
The new features of the glasses are based on Meta's latest AI model — Llama 3.2, which was also presented at the Meta Connect event.
It should be noted that the price of Meta Ray-Ban is set at $299. The glasses have small camera lenses that capture 12-megapixel photos and 1080p videos lasting up to 30 seconds, a built-in memory of 32 GB, a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor, and a battery that provides 4-6 hours of continuous use. The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses also feature a personal audio system, similar to that in Amazon Echo Frames and the Bose Tempo series (allowing users to listen to music that only they can hear).
