Technology company Meta<\/a> has added to its Ray-Ban smart glasses<\/a> series with the Meta Ray-Ban Display \u2013 its first pair to combine AI<\/a> and augmented reality<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meta<\/a>‘s latest glasses feature a heads-up display that overlays information such as messages, captions and video calls over the view from one eye.<\/p>\n

The glasses ship with a smart wristband that enables voice-free control through subtle hand movements \u2013 a unique innovation that the Facebook parent company previewed with a paper in Nature just months ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the glasses in a keynote presentation at the company’s Connect conference on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In it, he pitched the Meta Ray-Ban Display as a revolutionary device that would free people from the distractions of their smartphones while enhancing their natural capabilities.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to build great-looking glasses that deliver personal superintelligence and a feeling of presence using realistic holograms,” said Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

Personal superintelligence is a phrase coined by Meta to describe the use of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) by individuals, tailored to their personal lives and goals.<\/p>\n

“Glasses are the ideal form factor for personal superintelligence because they let you stay present in the moment while getting access to all of these AI capabilities that make you smarter, help you communicate better, improve your memory, improve your senses and more,” continued Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

“Glasses are the only form factor where you can let an AI see what you see, hear what you hear, talk to you throughout the day, and very soon generate whater UI you need, right in your vision in real time.”<\/p>\n

The display on the glasses is designed to be big enough to see without blocking the user’s vision, and to be bright and crisp enough to read even outdoors in the sun.<\/p>\n

It is invisible to anyone but the wearer and disappears when not in use.<\/p>\n

For controls, the glasses continue to offer voice control and the touch panel on the arm like the previous Meta Ray-Ban models but add what Meta is calling the Neural Band.<\/p>\n

This wraps around the wrist and reads the minute muscle movements of subtle hand gestures, such as tapping the thumb in different spots as if operating a D-pad, twisting a virtual knob to turn up the volume on music or handwriting letters to spell out a text message.<\/p>\n

Meta is describing the wristband as the world’s first mainstream neural interface, because it works by reading the electrical activity of the nervous system, even if it doesn’t require the type of invasive implant usually associated with this technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This also means that the wristband can be used by people with limited arm mobility.<\/p>\n
