With so much going on in AI, investors seem to be looking past its Metaverse segment. That may seem odd, as the company once known as Facebook changed its name to Meta in 2021. With the company's Reality Labs segment continuing to lose billions of dollars every quarter, investors may have written off the effort.

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.

The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses got an update with new familiar smartphone features and AI capabilities coming later in 2024.

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

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.

Meta Connect 2024 is a developer-centric event featuring a keynote from CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He showcased new hardware and software to support two of Meta’s big ambitions: AI and the metaverse. This included everything from new Quest headsets,

Other updates coming to Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses include the ability to voice control Spotify and Amazon Music through the device as well as new integrations with apps like Audible and iHeartRadio.

Last year, we saw Meta slightly rebrand its smart glasses lineup by adding a host of new features to its previously unexciting ‘Stories‘ and renaming them Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. This time, the Menlo Park company improved its smart glasses even more by adding a few AI improvements.

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.
