The Meta and Ray-Ban AR glasses have received a new update, and it is sure to impress. With the update, you can ask Meta AI to remember your surroundings, like where you parked, and even set reminders to make a phone call. Other features that are coming with the update include sending and recording voice messages on WhatsApp or Messenger without taking out your phone. You can now ask Meta AI to scan QR codes or call phone numbers you come across. This new firmware is only available in the US and Canada.
I am impressed with the Meta/Ray-Ban glasses. You can buy them for as low as $299. With more updates, these will be a good translation tool for travelling to other countries, scanning menus, and other things. In future updates, Meta will launch the ability for its smart glasses to translate speech in real time, starting with English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
