Ray-Ban Meta frames add AI feature

This October Meta Platforms Inc and EssilorLuxottica hosted an event in Shoreditch to showcase their new generation Ray-Ban Meta glasses alongside Meta VR technology.

The event included a showroom to showcase the smart glasses, with several people on hand to demonstrate how the glasses worked and answer any questions, as well as different stations to trial the VR.  

The VR ranged from painting and deejaying, to a private concert with Sabrina Carpenter, a 360° YouTube experience, boxing and video games such as Britney Spears Beat Sabers and Batman: Arkham VR.

Until recently, Meta AI was only available to Ray-Ban Meta wearers in the US or Canada but the feature had now made its way to the UK, Optician was told.
