Today it's time to talk about what was probably one of the most anticipated updates in this newly arrived world of devices or gadgets with artificial intelligence, and precisely the Artificial Intelligence has reached the already known Ray-Ban Meta.

What are Ray-Ban Meta glasses?
Well these glasses or rather, Smart Glasses have been the result of the union of Goal —the parent company of the well-known Facebook— and Ray-Ban, who have collaborated in creating a wearable such as glasses with new technologies.
At first they have used the iconic design of the American brand that is totally characteristic of its glasses to integrate within them technology that is so useful and to which we are so accustomed as speakers, video camera or microphones.
But it has not been until today—at least in Spain—that we can consider them as a device with Artificial Intelligence, since just a few days ago we were able to see how they interact with AI as just another gadget.
The main characteristics of the RayBan Meta
At a design level they continue with the lines of what may be without a doubt the best-known company in the world. sunglasses industry, with well-known models such as Aviator, the wayfarer —which are the most used model in this case— or the daring Round.
In terms of technology, these glasses have:
Video camera
The Ray-Ban Meta frame incorporates a 12MP video camera that allows you to capture high-quality video and photographs, with a resolution of 1440×1920 pixels. The aspect ratio, yes, is vertical and cannot be modified to record horizontally.
Headphones and microphones
Ray-Ban smart glasses incorporate 5 microphones and speakers for both recording and playing audio via bone transmission technologya, so that the sound vibrates through the bones of the head to the ears.
Artificial intelligence in the Ray-Ban Meta
And this is where the interesting part comes, and that is that the implementation of Artificial Intelligence to these Ray-Ban Smart Glasses has made them take a technological leap forward that is truly crazy.
The Ray-Ban Meta They use an advanced form of artificial intelligence known as Meta AI, which is part of the development of Meta Llama 3, a project that Meta has been working on for a long time, although it seems that it is proving to be up to the task...
Through the integration of AI, Ray-Ban Meta provides advanced features that go beyond the traditional capabilities of glasses with the comfort that they are WereablesThat is, you can carry them as an accessory and not as another device.
What the AI of Meta glasses does
Some of the features that I put below were already possible before the arrival of Llama 3—its Large Language Model—but This incorporation has multiplied the possibilities of each and every one of them alone.
Meta AI Voice Assistant:
The Ray-Ban Meta incorporates Meta AI, an intelligent voice assistant that allows users to make requests and obtain answers directly through the glasses. This assistant can execute voice commands, offering hands-free interaction with the device.
Users can activate the wizard by saying “Hey, Meta» followed by your query or command. It is similar to the concept that Google or Alexa already have and from which other devices such as the rabbit r1 or the Humane AI Pin, which were activated by touch.
Recognition of Objects and Places:
The AI of the Ray-Ban Meta has the ability to recognize objects and places in the user's environment. This allows the glasses to provide relevant information about what the user is seeing, acting as a personalized tour guide or information assistant in real time.
In this case The tests we have seen have some flaws, such as mathematical operations, but I don't blame them at all. It is quite complicated terrain for all current artificial intelligences.
Translations in Real Time:
The AI integrated into the Ray-Ban Meta can perform translations in real time, facilitating communication in different languages. This feature is especially useful for travelers or in situations where understanding or communicating in a foreign language is required.
Music Playback and Call Management:
Thanks to AI, the Ray-Ban Meta can manage music playback and phone calls. Users can ask the voice assistant to play a specific song, adjust the volume or answer calls without needing to physically interact with a mobile phone.
Image Capture and Analysis:
The glasses allow users to take photos or record videos using voice commands or the use of a physical button. AI can then analyze these images to provide additional information or perform specific actions based on the captured content.
Improved Interaction:
AI facilitates a more natural and efficient interaction with the glasses. For example, it can learn from user preferences and behaviors to offer more personalized and accurate responses and suggestions.
