AI glasses are here and you can get a pair starting October 17th, thanks to Meta.
Meta, in a strategic partnership with EssilorLuxottica, is rolling out its next-gen Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses.
Here is why this could be a next generation AI engagement platform:
1. Integrated with Meta AI:
The glasses come equipped with Meta’s advanced AI, offering a hands-free, voice-controlled experience for users on the move. Users can say “Hey Meta” to activate AI and engage in conversation with Meta’s AI assistant.
2. MultiModal AI:
Meta’s AI companion isn’t just verbally interactive—it can communicate using voice, text, and even physical gestures. Users wearing these glasses can interact with MetaAI as it identifies real-world objects, responds to natural language prompts, and accomplishes tasks. For example, users can ask MetaAI for facts about a specific place they are looking at or an art piece in front of them, or to capture a photo or video of a specific moment.
3. Immersive Audio:
With custom speakers and an advanced five-microphone array, these glasses promise immersive audio, extended bass, and minimal sound leakage, ensuring top-notch calls and music experience.
4. Capture images and video :
With a 12 MP Ultra-Wide camera and 1080p video recording, it allow users to document their adventures in high definition pictures and videos. It liberates users from the limitations of traditional cameras, offering a hands-free experience for capturing significant moments.
5. AR Spatial Computing:
The integration of the Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 Platform means faster photo and video processing, enhancing the spatial computing for AR and VR experience.
6. Customization:
150 custom combinations to choose from including Wayfarer or the newly introduced Headliner design.
7. Responsive and Secure:
The glasses seems lightweight and slim but also water-resistant, with improved touchpad responsiveness and interaction earcons for effortless control.
8. Hands-Free Livestream :
Users can now livestream directly to Facebook or Instagram, interacting with their audience in real-time.
9. Pricing:
starting at $299, they are nicely priced for early adopters.
Meta’s new AI glasses could be an interesting milestone in how AI capabilities are being integrated in hardware devices to bring intelligence another step closer to our every day lives.
