Meta has enhanced its Ray-Ban smartglasses with AI capabilities and launched Horizon OS, positioning them as a versatile tool for both multimedia creation and everyday digital assistance. The updated glasses now support advanced AI tools that improve user interaction, making them suitable for tasks like video recording and podcast listening while on the go. Additionally, Meta is developing its AR technology to eventually merge smart glasses with mixed-reality headsets, aiming to create all-day wearable AR devices. However, the AVP (Augmented Virtual Platform) has slowed down in its development.
Glasses will be the one of the best form factors for AI devices. Meta nailed this part with the Rayban Meta Glasses. Can double as a fashion accessory without making things look awkward, or making you feel like you need to carry an extra device around.
What would I do with new Meta Ray Ban #AI smartglasses? More than just ask it to 'take a video'! I would be helped a lot by a 'digital companion' device that monitors me permanently, understanding where I am and what I do - or what I forget to do https://t.co/eZVsVY0bW7

Was helpfully prompted into updating my Ray-Ban Meta glasses today and have been having fun experimenting with the AI tools. But I’d sort of forgotten how good they are for videos and photos; they were an excellent companion device for podcast listening on a run this afternoon https://t.co/Dkuk6Z3F6x
