Meta planning to take their Ray-Ban Display glasses to the next level: translating, remembering faces, where you put your keys and how much you tip

The iPhone put a powerful computer in your pocket.Now, Meta’s new AI-enabled glasses are putting technology on the bridge of your nose.They’re “a game changer,” Andrew Bosworth, chief technology officer of Meta and head of its Reality Labs division, told The Post.Early versions of Meta’s smart glasses mostly functioned by taking pictures and shooting videos.

With the addition of AI, they do much more, answering questions and responding with text on one lens for Display models or via audio built into the stems on non-Display models.The latest Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses start at $379 .Paired with the Meta Neural Band ($799 with the glasses), the specs can be controlled remotely via finger movements.All of the current models of glasses provide the ability to use the ingenuity of artificial intelligence for gleaning information about, say, a painting you are looking at in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or a conversation you’re having with someone speaking a different language.In the latter instance, a translation of what the other person is saying appears as text on the lens that only the user can see.

“The glasses will provide real-world subtitles,” enthused Bosworth.In the future, he imagines the glasses’ AI component getting to know you and predicting what you need before you have a chance to request it.The glasses could sense you’re getting ready to leave the house and automatically offer advice on the weather.

Already, with a verbal prompt, a pair of Meta glasses can, for example, take the headache out finding your car in a large shopping-mall lot.It can take a photo of where you are parked and send an image to your phone as a visual reminder.“Memory is a good one [for the future],” Bosworth said.

“Imagine [the glasses] remembering where you left your keys or cell phone” — because it saw you put the items down.” At a restaurant, the glasses could see you’re signing a check, know that you typically tip 20% and calculate the a...
