Meta continues to upgrade its Ray-Ban smart glasses by integrating new AI features such as Shazam and constant AI assistance.
Meta's Updates
Earlier this year, Meta integrated its Llama 3 model into the MetaAI virtual assistant for Ray-Ban smart glasses to enhance their performance. These multi-modal capabilities now include translations and the recognition of objects, animals, and monuments.
Functional Features
The latest features include continuous audio and video recording. The glasses can now operate for extended periods with AI features enabled. The always-on AI allows users to communicate in real-time, though this increases battery consumption, decreasing the device's operation time to 30 minutes.
Rapid Evolution of AI Glasses
According to Meta, 2024 will be a breakthrough year for AI glasses. AI assistants are being viewed by major tech companies as the driving force behind smart glasses, and these devices are expected to become the first category of hardware completely defined by AI from the outset.
Ongoing improvements and AI assistant integrations from Meta and other companies represent a significant step forward in the development of smart glasses, which are soon to become more user-friendly and functional.
