From integrated audio to an ultra-wide 12-megapixel camera, Ray-Ban Meta is packed with technology. In the United States and Canada, you can also access Meta AI. This smart assistant will help you accomplish tasks, create, and stay connected with people and things you care about. Just say "Hey, Meta" to summon it. You can control the glasses with voice commands.
Assuming you're traveling and trying to read a French menu. Your smart glasses can use the built-in camera and Meta AI to translate the text for you, eliminating the need to pull out your phone or stare at a screen to get the information you need.
In recent weeks, The Verge's Alex Heath has been testing Meta's artificial intelligence assistant. It can respond to voice commands like "Hey, Meta" and answer relevant questions or queries about what you're looking at. It's far from perfect. But when it does work, it feels like a glimpse into the future.
In the fall of 2023, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed for the first time in an interview that multimodal artificial intelligence is on the horizon. He described it as a "fresh angle" for smart glasses, which could eventually become a killer feature before "ultra-high-quality holograms."
Considering Meta's investment of billions of dollars in AR glasses over the past six years and the lukewarm reception of the first generation Meta Ray Bans, the second-generation devices need to succeed. Early signs are promising. Third-party estimates suggest Meta has already sold over 1 million units. During Meta's latest earnings call, Zuckerberg mentioned several styles are already sold out. Now, with multimodal AI enabled, Meta may have the best AI wearable device on the market.
