Are smart glasses finally useful

December 19, 2024

👓 Are smart glasses finally useful? Ray-Ban dropped a major update for its Meta smart glasses. The specs now include Shazam for identifying songs; real-time AI video that captures and describes what’s in front of you; and live translation for Spanish, French and Italian. If the translation alone works well, it’ll be a total travel game-changer. OK, this news was enough for me to buy the $317 glasses. I’ll let you know what I think about them in a month or so. If you have an “early adopter” on your gift list, this would be a great gift!
