EssilorLuxottica and Meta are poised to introduce their next generation of smartglasses, Ray-Ban Meta, offering what they describe as the first eyewear with livestreaming and Meta AI built-in, plus a redesigned, more intuitive app and charging case.
The Ray-Ban Meta collection is in a league of its own, with features that have never fit inside a pair of glasses before, said Rocco Basilico, EssilorLuxottica chief wearables officer. “The world sees you in a pair of your favourite Wayfarer, perhaps with your own prescription and Transitions lenses, but you know you have this powerful universe of tech inside. Meta AI, livestreaming and insanely crisp audio and calling capabilities – all hands-free. This is what we imagined when we first decided to enter this space. Truly wearable, life-enhancing technology.”
The livestreaming function allows wearers to broadcast their experiences, toggling between the glasses and phone camera to Instagram Live or Facebook Live for up to 30 minutes.
