Meta has introduced wearables that target the future of sight. These products announced on Thursday by Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg include an AI glasses, Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, among other wearables.
Speaking on the innovative glasses, Meta said in a statement: “It’s no secret that we’re working to bring personal superintelligence to everyone. And glasses are the ideal form factor to deliver it. It’s the only form factor that lets your AI see what you see, hear what you hear, and talk with you throughout the day. AI glasses can help improve your memory, heighten your senses, and let you seamlessly communicate with others — all while staying fully present in the moment.”
AI is becoming more personal, intuitive, and seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. Glasses are the ideal form factor to deliver it — they can see what you see, hear what you hear, and engage with you naturally throughout the day. With each update, we’re moving toward a world where AI glasses help us capture memories, heighten our senses, and stay connected — all while staying present in the moment.

Metaverse Momentum
Meta also announced new advances in VR and the metaverse, powered by the all-new Horizon Engine for better graphics, faster performance, and more immersive worlds. Creators will soon be able to build high-quality environments with generative AI tools in Horizon Studio, while Hyperscape Capture lets anyone scan real spaces and turn them into photorealistic 3D worlds
“As we continue to push the boundaries of AI and wearables, we’ll be sharing updates with the market as new products become available locally,” Meta said.
Last year at Connect, Meta announced its partnership with Be My Eyes, which connects people who are Blind or have Low Vision with sighted volunteers who then “see” on their behalf through the Ray-Ban Meta glasses and help talk them through various tasks. Since then, people have used their Ray-Ban Meta glasses to connect with volunteers hands-free to help them shop for groceries, cook a meal at home, pick out a birthday card, and more. With the continued expansion of Ray-Ban Meta into new markets, Meta’s Be My Eyes integration is becoming available in more and more new countries and languages with even more coming soon. The company says it is making it easier to use by tapping on the side of the glasses rather than saying, “Hey Meta, call a volunteer,” out loud.
