AI-powered visual search features came to Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses last year, along with some impressive capabilities. Now, a new feature in the latest beta version allows Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses to identify and explain important points.
The app identifies landmarks in various locations and acts as a sort of tour guide for travelers by giving you more information about them, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth wrote in a Threads post. Bosworth showed several sample photos explaining why the Golden Gate Bridge is orange, the history of “painted women’s houses” in San Francisco, and more. Explanations for these were included as text below the images.
Moreover, Mark Zuckerberg used Instagram to showcase new talent through several videos shot in Montana. This time, the goggles use audio to provide a verbal description of the history of Big Sky Mountain and the Roosevelt Arch while explaining how snow forms.
Meta previewed the feature at its Connect event last year as part of new “multimodal” capabilities that allow it to answer questions based on your environment. This is made possible by all of Meta’s smart glasses gaining access to real-time information, powered in part by Bing Search.
The feature will be available to everyone in Meta’s early access program, which is still limited in number.
