How Meta x Ray-Ban AI Glasses Make Everyday Life and Traveling ...
There’s no pair of glasses more classic or timeless than Ray-Ban Wayfarers. And there’s nothing more leading-edge than Meta AI. Merge the two and you have life-transforming technology in an effortlessly stylish package: Yes, we’re talking about the new line of Ray-Ban Meta eyewear.
The Collaboration Between Meta Platforms and Ray-Ban
Meta Platforms, the Facebook owner and AI innovator behind the Quest headset that provides mixed-reality immersive experiences, recently collaborated with the glasses stalwart Ray-Ban to release specs unlike any you’ve ever seen — or seen through.
Chances are, however, you did see the starry Super Bowl ad for the Meta Ray-Bans earlier this year, helmed by The Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn and featuring two Chrises of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt — playfully riffing on Hollywood’s Chris confusion, with a cameo by none other than Kris-with-a-K Jenner.
The Features of Meta Ray-Ban Glasses
You know Ray-Ban’s Wayfarer even if you don’t know that you know it. The design, dating back to 1952, originally heralded a bold new generation in fashionable accessories. Now the sleek rectangular, thick-rimmed frames, whether as eyeglasses or sunnies, simply signal good taste.
But what about Meta’s Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses? What do they do? It might be easier to say what they don’t do — sorry, they won’t make you a perfectly foamy cappuccino, at least yet — but here’s a quick rundown of some of their most impressive capabilities:
- If you can take a picture of it, you won’t ever misplace your keys or fail to recall your hotel room number or where you parked your car.
- Real-time live translation in different languages for seamless communication.
-
Voice command features for taking pictures, playing music, setting smart alerts, and more. - Augmented reality information on various objects and locations.
- Privacy settings to control who sees your content and when.
Variations of Meta Ray-Ban Glasses
Glasses go on our faces. So they ought to look good — no, great. Which is what we’ve relied on Ray-Ban for since the company was founded in 1937 with an eye toward modern aesthetics.
The Meta Ray-Ban frames come in many variations to suit whatever kind of wearer you are:
-
Meta Wayfarer glossy black eyeglasses ($299) - Meta Wayfarer sunglasses with G-15 Green-colored lenses ($299)
-
Upgraded Meta Wayfarer sunnies with matte black frames and polarized graphite lenses ($329) - Meta Wayfarer matte black frames with transitional lenses ($379)
Fashion-forward customers might opt for the Ray-Ban Meta Skyler eyeglasses, which offer a distinct cat eye lens shape and come in various styles.
Whatever pair of Meta Ray-Ban glasses you choose, you can rely on the elegant design the eyewear brand is known for, emphasizing how sharp you look from running errands to attending a cocktail party — all while harnessing AI power in a blink.
