Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Get New AI Features and Product Options

EssilorLuxottica and Meta Platforms are advancing the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with new feature updates and a broader selection of product offerings and partnerships. The updates focus on improving artificial intelligence integration and expanding user capabilities.

Users in the U.S. and Canada will soon be able to use Meta AI for tasks such as setting reminders, remembering parking locations, and identifying objects or translating text. Meta AI will now also support video input, allowing for real-time assistance during video calls, essentially having the AI converse with the user as they interact with their surroundings via the glasses.

Further integration with music streaming services is coming, enabling users to search Spotify and Amazon Music using voice commands. These updates aim to make the smart glasses more intuitive and accessible for everyday use, according to the companies.

New product additions include a limited edition Shiny Transparent Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer frame, featuring a completely see-through design, paired with Transitions® GEN STM lenses. These adaptive lenses adjust to light conditions and are available in eight colors. A new partnership with Be My Eyes will leverage the glasses' camera to provide remote assistance to visually impaired individuals, allowing sighted volunteers to see through the user's perspective.
