With Artificial Intelligence, Meta Transforms Glasses into “Brain Extension”
This Wednesday (25), during Meta Connect 2024, the controller of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads announced its main bets for next year. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Big Tech, began the afternoon presentations with a message: “It’s been a busy year, but we can finally envision the future of human connection.”

The most interesting new feature presented by the company was the integration of artificial intelligence into Ray-Ban Meta glasses. With AI, the device will function as an “extension of the brain”. You can use it as a secondary memory, which will remind you where your car is parked or the number of an advertisement you saw while walking.
According to Meta, the glasses will soon also feature translation capabilities and real-time video support. “Say, for example, you are exploring a new city. Just ask Meta AI to accompany you and chat with it to ask about the landmarks you see,” the statement says.
Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg's company presented a new prototype of augmented reality glasses, called Orion. The product, which was tested by a few selected experts, is not available to the public, but promises to revolutionize the next steps in augmented reality.
“The Orion has been in production for 10 years. The requirements were simple: they needed to be glasses weighing less than 100 grams and without wires. He needed wide-field-of-view displays to accommodate multiple multitasking screens or a movie theater-sized screen. And it needed to allow you to see the physical world around you. Orion meets all these requirements. It's a feat of miniaturization with 10 custom silicon chips and a completely new display architecture,” explained Zuckerberg.
The Meta Quest 3S, Meta's new mixed reality headset, is available for pre-order in the United States for a starting price of US$299.99. The device is powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform, developed in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, and includes hand tracking, Touch Plus controllers and a wide range of experiences on Meta Horizon OS.
