    @MKBHD trying out our feature. We put in extra effort to comprehend characters and text, glad to see it recognized. More improvements around the corner, join the Early Access Program!

    If AI can describe scenes from a photo, could it understand driving scenarios better than FSD does now?

    these smart glasses will be a game changer for the visually impaired.

    Basic right now, but it feels like a new paradigm. Something that is always on vs you taking out your phone, opening chatgpt feels way different... There is something big here for sure.

    Is there a use case for these glasses @MKBHD for someone who is blind and might get instructions navigating the road or even “sight seeing”? Obviously the battery will have to be solid to allow for this?

    Everyone's losing their mind over the “new” Meta “Multimodal AI Glasses”. I'm here to say it's already been out and round for 3 years. We, @LetsEnvision have been building an AI-powered glasses for blind & low vision people since 2020. Check this profile by @BusinessInsider [vide…

    I have been testing the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses for a while and I have to say that they are quite impressive. This feature to get Meta AI to answer questions about what you can see is going to be a game changer. I tried them in a park and wanted so badly to tell me which species of.…

    I've been trying Meta smart glasses' new multimodal AI - while it's pretty basic right now, it's still sick to see it combine what it sees from the camera with the language model to describe what it's seeing! Already solid for accessibility Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/.…

    Shout out to @mkbhd who shares an early look at the early access multimodal Meta AI assistant on the Ray-Ban Meta glasses here: https://www.youtube.com/.... We are working on answer length and making the trigger more conversational lol. In the meantime, I had to run my own very..…
