Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg launched new high-tech sunglasses with improved capabilities for recording videos, making calls, and even going live on Instagram.
Meta Platforms and sunglasses maker, Ray-Ban, partnered to create a new and improved pair of artificial intelligence-powered sunglasses that can record, make calls, and more.
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are designed for documenting special moments with a 12MP camera, built-in speakers, and a five-microphone system making it ideal for content creation and investigative works.
Users of the new high-tech sunglasses can livestream, play music or podcasts, send messages, or make calls utilizing social media.
According to Meta, the sunglasses were designed with improved audio, including extended bass that sounds louder, higher maximum volume options, and directional speakers.
Users will not be forced to use their hands to operate the sunglasses as the social media company fitted them with Meta AI, an integrated artificial intelligence assistant.
Owners of the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses can activate Meta AI by saying, “Hey Meta,” and dictating what they need done, including control settings.
Meta says the new Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses provide customers with over 150 different custom frame and lens combinations thanks to Ray-Ban’s portfolio of varied frames. The glass can be equipped with prescription lenses if needed.
The second-generation Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses will be available for purchase online and in retail stores starting on October 17.
