ECNETNews reports that the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, launched last year, will soon receive a variety of exciting updates. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced these enhancements at the latest Meta Connect event, alongside the unveiling of the new Meta Quest 3S and Project Orion, a pair of upcoming AR glasses.
Among the new features is improved interaction with the Meta AI, specifically designed to facilitate more natural conversations. Additionally, the glasses will support live language translation for seamless one-on-one interactions and feature the “Be My Eyes” program, enabling volunteers to assist low-vision users by describing their surroundings through the glasses.
New Parking Reminder Feature for Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
Zuckerberg introduced a particularly helpful feature aimed at improving the driving experience: a parking reminder function. “We’re adding the ability for the glasses to help you remember things,” he stated.
In a demonstration, a user asked, “Hey Meta, remember where I parked?” Meta AI noted the request, and when the user returned, they inquired again, prompting the AI to respond, “You parked in space 9702.”
“If you’re heading somewhere, no more forgetting where you parked,” Zuckerberg emphasized. “Now, it will just help you out with that; your glasses have you covered.”
While this feature is beneficial, it does raise a humorous challenge: users must remember to ask Meta AI for assistance in the first place. Nonetheless, the parking reminder is just one of many practical conveniences offered by the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses.
Zuckerberg also highlighted how the glasses can be a handy tool during grocery shopping. For instance, if a user needs to pick up an avocado for a smoothie, the glasses can provide reminders on their shopping trip.
While no specific launch date for these updates was provided, Zuckerberg assured that they are on the way. Stay tuned for more developments on the capabilities of these AI-powered smart glasses from ECNETNews.
