Currently, the best-selling option in Meta/Ray-Ban’s range are any that sport the traditional sunglasses lenses. But in doing so, you’re limiting where you can use these by 50% — and that 50% is a bit of a stretch, as you don’t want to be that weirdo who wears shades when it's cloudy out.

Smart glasses may be the tech tipped to take the future by storm, but these excellent Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are a modern-day sensation.

Unfortunately, that still seems like a world away compared to where the Ray-Ban Meta glasses are currently. At Meta Connect, the company announced several new AI-enhanced features for the Ray-Ban glasses.

However, there's one feature coming to the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses that aims to solve a common frustration for drivers: providing reminders of where they parked. "We're adding the ability for the glasses to help you remember things," Zuckerberg said at Meta Connect 2024.

The onboard Meta AI agent can now set a reminder to buy whatever the camera is pointed at, among other enhancements.

Zuckerberg announced that with the updated AI, you'll be able to have more natural and conversational prompts using the smart glasses. An example he gave was prompting, "Hey Meta, what kind of smoothie can I make with these" while showing ingredients. From there you don't need to prompt with 'Hey Meta' and can just continue the conversation.

Meta's new Orion glasses may still be a prototype that costs thousands of dollars to produce, but when you put them on they feel like the future. Driving the news: These are glasses, not goggles, that can display information and even videos overlaid on top of the real world — like Apple's Vision Pro in many ways,
