Zuckerberg launched AI glasses: technologies that will change everyday life

Meta announced three new models of smart glasses with AI, including the first Ray-Ban with a built-in screen for augmented reality.

Meta Ray-Ban Display will be the first smart glasses with a heads-up display from a mainstream brand since the unsuccessful launch of Google Glass. They are made in the classic Wayfarer style to avoid looking too obviously like wearable technology, while still being equipped with a camera, speakers, and a microphone.

A small, bright, and clear color display is projected onto the inside of the right lens, creating the effect of a "floating" image just below the user's line of sight, and can display text, images, or even real-time video calls. The display activates when interacting with the glasses and is not visible from the outside. An LED indicator warns others when the camera is active.

The glasses were demonstrated by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the Meta Connect event on Wednesday. "Glasses are the only form where AI can see what you see, hear what you hear," and eventually create what you want, such as images or videos, said Zuckerberg, speaking at the tech giant's headquarters in Menlo Park, California.
