In a couple of clicks, you can start broadcasting images from the camera and show your friends what you see yourself.
Meta* and Ray-Ban presented updated smart glasses for everyday use. They look like previous model, but received a number of technical improvements.
The new model is called Ray-Ban Meta* Smart Glasses and is positioned simply as smart glasses, there is no longer any bet on Stories. Now their main purpose is to replace headphones for music and voice communications.
The developers have significantly updated the audio system - the sound has become 50% louder and the bass has been pumped up. Also, the specifications now indicate five microphones, including one on the bridge of the nose, which should make voice transmission during calls much clearer (in the previous version there was only one microphone).
Another function of the glasses is the camera. The smart glasses have small lenses on the edges that allow you to take 12-megapixel photos and 1080p videos. 32 GB of internal memory allows you to store about 500 photos and 100 30-second videos.
All content is synchronized through the Meta* View application. The application also allows you to quickly share everything you film through social networks and company messengers.
In addition to taking photos and videos with the camera, the user can now also start a live broadcast on Facebook* or Instagram* - literally with a couple of clicks on the temple of the glasses. While recording, the white indicator around the lens will blink to indicate that recording is in progress.
Last time the main theme of the Meta was messaging; this time, the smart glasses are positioned as a creative tool that lets you cook, play the drums, or perform any number of two-handed activities while still recording.
Meta* claims that the battery inside the smart glasses provides four to six hours of active use. The included case also allows you to charge them an additional eight times. Ray-Ban Meta* Smart Glasses are available for pre-order in the US now and will ship on October 17th starting at $299.
