Meta’s Ray-Ban branded smart glasses are getting AI-powered reminders and translation features

Meta showed off a number of new abilities for the year-old smart glasses onstage at its Connect event, including reminders, live translations and other powers.

For example, “hey Meta, remind me to buy that book next Monday.” The glasses will also be able to scan QR codes and call a phone number written in front of you. And later this year the company is adding live translation abilities for English, French, Italian and Spanish, which could make the glasses even more useful as a travel accessory. And while I still haven’t fully tested Meta AI’s new capabilities on its smart glasses just yet, it already seems to have a better grasp of real-time information than what I found last year.
