Mark Zuckerberg has unveiled new Meta artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses.
According to The Guardian, Meta on Wednesday, September 17, announced three new pairs of its AI smart glasses, including the first-ever Ray-Ban Display glasses.
The Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses draw inspiration from classic Wayfarer designs, while they will be the first smart glasses with advanced features like a heads-up display, camera, speakers, and microphone.
Unlike Google Glass, these built-in screens for augmented reality glasses are designed to be fashionable and functional at the same time.
The $799 smart glasses have a tiny digital display and can be controlled with hand gestures using a neural technology-powered wristband.
The glasses were revealed by Zuckerberg at the Meta Connect event on Wednesday at the Menlo Park, California, headquarters.
Zuckerberg said, “Glasses are the ideal form factor for personal super intelligence because they let you stay present in the moment while getting access to all of these AI capabilities to make you smarter, help you communicate better, improve your memory, and improve your senses.”
“These are glasses with the classic style that you’d expect from Ray-Ban, but they’re the first AI glasses with a high-resolution display and a fully weighted Meta neural band,” he added.
As per the Facebook and Instagram owner, these new smart glasses allow users to watch videos and see and respond to text messages without blocking their view, as their display disappears when not being used.
The glasses will be available for the users in the United States on September 30.
