The Unveiling of AI Integrated Ray-Ban Smart Glasses
Meta Platforms Inc. META is set to introduce its AI-enhanced Ray-Ban smart glasses in the near future.
The AI capabilities, encompassing functions like translation and object recognition, have been in a testing phase since December, as per reports from The Verge (via The New York Times).
During trials conducted by The Times, the Meta AI showcased proficiency in scenarios such as shopping at the grocery store, driving, exploring museums, and visiting the zoo. While it correctly identified pets and artworks, it faced challenges with distant zoo animals and struggled to label a unique fruit named cherimoya.
The current languages supported by the glasses for translations are English, Spanish, Italian, French, and German.
Access to these innovative features is restricted to a waitlist in the U.S., and Meta is expected to refine them further over time, as revealed in the report.
This development follows Meta’s earlier introduction of the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses with AI capabilities at the Connect launch event in 2023. The purpose behind these glasses was to enable users to decipher visual information without relying on Google.
CEO of Meta was recently seen promoting the smart glasses, even utilizing them to exhibit his closet collection. Mark Zuckerberg shared multiple videos on Instagram highlighting the features of the Ray-Ban smart glasses.
