Last year, tech giant Meta, in collaboration with luxury eyeglasses brand Ray-Ban, introduced its second-generation smart glasses.
These smart glasses facilitate video recording, and photo capture, and operate on Augmented Reality technology.
They also come with built-in speakers, camera, and microphones, all while looking like a normal pair of sunglasses.
After receiving positive feedback from users, Meta has now added more features to the smart glasses.
The company recently unveiled a groundbreaking multimodal AI feature, which empowers an AI assistant to analyze images and videos captured by the camera, providing a contextual understanding of the surroundings.
For instance, if a user wants to identify a bird species or translate a foreign-language menu, they can effortlessly utilize the camera and Meta AI feature for instant information and text translation.
Meta has been rigorously testing the update since last year, and now it's being rolled out in beta version for users in the US and Canada.
The company now also allows users to make video calls using WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. This feature provides all the users with a convenient way to share their point-of-view during conversations.
Furthermore, Meta has also added Apple Music to its smart glasses.
The tech giant has taken care of the fashion enthusiasts too, as they have introduced new Ray-Ban smart glasses with fresh designs.
