Original Ray-Bans Shine with New AI Features
28 Nov
Summary
- First-gen Ray-Ban Meta glasses receive significant AI updates.
- Software upgrades include slo-mo, hyperlapse, and enhanced audio.
- AI features enable real-time translation and voice commands.
The original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, first released in 2021, are proving to be a lasting choice, particularly with significant Black Friday sales reducing their price to around $238.99. Despite the recent launch of the Gen 2 model, the initial version retains much of its functionality, including photo and video capture, hands-free calls, and AI-driven features.
These AI capabilities are central to the user experience, allowing for voice commands to take pictures, identify landmarks, seek recipes, and perform real-time language translations. Upcoming software updates, scheduled for the fall, will further enhance these features, introducing new video modes such as slo-mo and hyperlapse, alongside an improved audio focus function and expanded translation capabilities for languages like German and Portuguese.
While the new Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 boasts double the battery life, the core camera and AI functionalities remain largely consistent with the original model. Users of the first-gen glasses can anticipate receiving many of the same software enhancements, ensuring their device stays relevant and functional with advanced features.
