Meta AI Smart Glasses: New Models in Collaboration with Kylie Jenner Starting at $299

Integrated Meta-AI and Features

At the heart of the glasses is the Meta-AI, which allows users to access information, suggestions, and assistance via voice commands. A key feature is the real-time translation function, which supports both spoken and written text in more than 20 languages, thereby facilitating communication in a wide variety of international settings. The AI also controls interactions with the environment. Users can request music that matches their current surroundings or ask the system for real-time advice and tips based on the glasses’ perceptions.

Media Recording and Hardware

For content creation, the device supports high-resolution recording and captures photos and videos in 3K. To reduce the need for manual input, the system features an automatic recording function. This feature uses AI to recognize and capture specific moments of interest without requiring the user to manually trigger the camera. From a design perspective, the glasses are engineered to accommodate a wide variety of face shapes. The hardware includes stretchable hinges and triple-adjustable nose pads to ensure a precise fit and long-term comfort.

Meta has implemented multiple layers of privacy management for the device. A physical on/off switch is integrated into the frame, allowing users to completely disable the technology. In addition, data-sharing settings can be managed via the accompanying app, limiting the information collected to what is necessary for the device’s functionality. To prevent unauthorized use, the glasses feature a verification function. When activated, the system requires the user to confirm their identity via a paired mobile device before a session begins.

Market Positioning

Meta’s AI glasses have recently faced massive criticism because the company accesses recordings without authorization and infringes on privacy. By purchasing the glasses, users are likely consenting to training and monitoring, raising the question of the extent to which others’ privacy is being violated. This could result in significant penalties for Meta in the EU if plaintiffs file lawsuits there. We advise against purchasing these glasses.
