Meta and Ray-Ban have collaborated on the latest smart glasses, introducing new AI features. A recent update to the second generation of smart sunglasses includes the Meta AI with Vision feature, incorporating Meta’s ChatGPT-enabled AI assistant. This allows users to access an AI voice assistant, real-time translation, and object identification through their glasses. Additional features in the update include video calling in messaging apps and the ability to share the user’s perspective through front-facing cameras. The glasses also come in two new frame styles: Headliners and Skylers.
While wearing cameras on your face may seem unconventional, the sleek design of the Meta smart glasses allows them to blend seamlessly into daily life. However, it’s important to note that these stylish shades are produced by a company with a history of data privacy concerns. Despite the cool factor, users should be aware of the potential data implications involved.
