Yesterday, at the exhilarating Meta Connect event, Meta unveiled a game-changing collaboration with EssilorLuxottica – the next-generation Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses collection. With the launch, the company has revolutionised wearable technology, elevating every aspect of the original while introducing groundbreaking capabilities that redefine the smart glasses landscape.
With Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, you’re the director of your own story. The glasses empower you to seize the moment with a simple snap, effortlessly capturing photos and video clips from your unique perspective. But it’s not just about preserving memories; it’s about experiencing them in their fullest, most authentic form.
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses invite you to relive these moments and genuinely revel in them as they unfold. These glasses aren’t just a device but your passport to truly live in the moment. The next generation of smart glasses from Meta and RayBan are more accessible and versatile than ever, but what makes these glasses groundbreaking?
Firstly, they aim to redefine how you experience audio. Imagine a world where your headphones are replaced by a stylish pair of glasses. The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses introduce a personal audio system akin to Amazon’s Echo Frames and the Bose Tempo series, delivering music and audio experiences only you can hear.
The auditory immersion is complemented by a substantial microphone upgrade, featuring five microphones, including one ingeniously embedded in the nose bridge. These enhancements ensure crystal-clear calls and voice commands, even in noisy or windy conditions – a significant improvement from the previous model, which often faltered.
They also moonlight as a high-quality camera. Small camera lenses adorn the right temple, capturing 12-megapixel photos and 1080p videos – a substantial leap from their predecessors. With a generous 32GB of internal storage, you can store approximately 500 photos and up to 100 30-second videos. All your media syncs seamlessly through the Meta View app, providing effortless sharing across Meta’s expansive ecosystem of platforms.
The boldest addition to these glasses is the capability to start live streams on Facebook or Instagram with a couple of taps on the stem. A pulsating white light around the lens signals you’re recording, offering unprecedented ease in sharing your world with your friends and followers. However, this feature amplifies the already pressing privacy concerns accompanying such technology.
Meta’s vision for these smart glasses is clear – they’re not just a messaging tool but a creative instrument. They empower you to engage in two-handed activities, from cooking to playing musical instruments, while capturing your perspective. They are available in various stylish colours, like rebel black, shiny black, jeans and caramel, along with multiple lens options.
The next-generation glasses are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor, boasting “on-glass AI” in a remarkably efficient package. They also offer an impressive battery life, with four to six hours of active use and up to 36 hours with a charging case. The sleek and innovative eyewear is available for pre-order now and will hit the shelves on October 17th, with prices starting at an enticing $299 – roughly ₹24,999.
