Cellphones and smart glasses can now apply AI to what you see in real time

Ray-Ban Stories review.

The Ray-Ban Meta glasses serve as a hands-free camera, but the tech will soon allow users to ask Meta’s AI about what it sees in real time. This week, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced the V11 software update to the Ray-Ban Meta glasses and tests of a live AI feature. Meta’s announcement comes just days after ChatGPT began a slow roll out of a camera-assisted Advanced Voice Mode and Google gave developers access to Gemini 2.0 with Google Lens capabilities.

Early beta testers for Meta Ray-Ban glasses will now be able to try out the live AI features first teased during Connect 2024. Live AI enables Meta’s AI to see what the wearer sees, allowing the AI to answer questions about objects or places within the cameras’ field of view. Meta says the feature powers features like getting help and inspiration for cooking, gardening, or traveling to new places.
