Part of an early access programme, and in a bid to expand its portfolio in the realm of technology, Meta has incorporated artificial intelligence into Ray-Ban smart glasses for select customers.

Announcing initial user tests on the AI-powered smart glasses, the Facebook owner looks to receive feedback before the full-fledged release.

The company is further aiming to bring updates to complement Ray-Ban's smart glasses experience, bringing smarter and more helpful responses.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO Meta, showed a new thing on his special glasses in a video on Instagram. In a first-person narrative video, he chose a shirt with stripes that was dark, and used the Meta glasses to help him decide what would match it well.

Earlier this month, Meta shared exciting news about new things for their smart glasses. Now, in an update, they added some more features to the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses.

People who join early can test out cool features that use smart technology. This means the glasses can understand what you're looking at and answer questions about it.

Features of Ray-Ban smart glasses

  • The company claims that the glasses' smart assistant can take a picture of what you see. You can tell it to do this using your voice or by pressing a special button on the glasses.
  • The smart assistant can even come up with a clever caption for the photo.
  • Got Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses? Grab something and ask the glasses to tell you about it.
  • You can also look at a sign in a language you don't know and ask the glasses to change it to English.

The company has clarified that the glasses might not always get things right, and they're going to make it better based on the feedback they get.
