Meta's AI-Powered Ray-Ban Smart Glasses: The Ultimate Visual Upgrade
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus VR, is beginning a small trial in the U.S. of a new multimodal AI designed to run on its Ray Ban Meta smart glasses. The new AI, set to launch publicly in 2024, takes advantage of the glasses' camera to provide information about both user queries and the world around them. The glasses currently have a limited voice-controlled AI assistant, but the new multimodal version aims to intelligently respond to video and photography. The trial will be conducted through an early access program, and the glasses are priced at $299.
