Ray-Ban's follow-up to the original Meta design set for release
New Meta Ray-Ban Glasses Unveiled: A Leap Forward in Augmented Reality
Meta has announced the release of the second generation of Ray-Ban glasses, a significant upgrade from the original version. Here's what you need to know about these innovative new glasses.
The new Ray-Ban glasses come with a variety of 27 stylish frame options, ensuring there's something for everyone. One of the most anticipated features is the real-time translation capability, which supports six languages without the need for a Wi-Fi connection. While the specific languages have not been detailed, it's clear that users can expect seamless communication in six different tongues.
The glasses are equipped with five built-in microphones, ensuring clear audio for both the user and those they're speaking with. In noisy environments, the glasses have a feature to amplify the spoken words of the direct counterpart over background noise, making conversations easier and more enjoyable.
The new Ray-Ban glasses also boast improved 3K UltraHD resolution, a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera, and two outputs for clear audio. These features contribute to an immersive augmented reality experience.
Controlling the glasses is a breeze, thanks to Meta AI. Users can simply say "Hey Meta" to ask questions about their environment. The glasses are also splash-proof, making them suitable for use in various weather conditions.
The battery life of the new Ray-Ban glasses has been extended to up to eight hours, perfect for continuous music or call usage. For those who need even more battery life, the charging case provides an additional 48 hours. The glasses can be charged to 50% in just 20 minutes, similar to the Meta Oakley Vanguard.
One of the standout features of the new Ray-Ban glasses is the real-time translator via AI. This feature was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg at last year's Connect home event. While real-time translation is available in six languages, it's important to note that not all languages are supported. Tested languages include French and English.
It's worth mentioning that the real-time translator feature will also be available for the old Ray-Ban glasses, although they may not offer the same level of functionality as the second-generation models.
Lastly, the lenses for the new Ray-Ban glasses come in clear and transition options, providing users with flexibility in their daily wear. Unlike the new Oakley Vanguard, the second generation of the Ray-Ban glasses should not be fully submerged in water.
In conclusion, the second generation of Meta Ray-Ban glasses promises to deliver an exceptional augmented reality experience, with features like real-time translation, improved resolution, and long battery life. These glasses are set to redefine the way we communicate and interact with our surroundings.
