Meta has unveiled their latest smart glasses, boasting a screen in the right lens that allows users to access various features like reading messages, navigation, and translation right from their face. These glasses are dubbed as the most advanced AI glasses in the world by the company, marking a significant milestone as Meta’s first smart Ray-Bans to incorporate a display.
