The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, first released in late 2023, has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to a major Meta AI update in April 2024. While they still offer the ability to record videos, take photos, and stream music, the addition of Meta AI integration elevates them to a whole new level—essentially turning them into AI-powered sunglasses with built-in ChatGPT-like functionality.
One of the standout features is “Look and Ask,” which uses the glasses’ camera to capture images and provide AI with visual context. This allows for tasks like identifying landmarks, translating signs, suggesting recipes based on visible ingredients, and much more.
Although the AI isn’t flawless, the glasses excel as a leading AI wearable. And even when powered down or out of charge, they remain a stylish and classic pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses.
