Professional Before and After Advice
Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, the next generation of smart glasses are here. In an era where technology is an integral part of our daily life, Ray-Ban has yet again redefined eyewear. The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses collection mix iconic design heritage and cutting-edge technology. An unparalleled way to experience and share your world.
Building upon the groundbreaking success of Ray-Ban Stories, the Meta glasses are a second-generation collection, taking everything achieved previously and elevating every aspect. Lighter, more powerful, and more intuitive than ever before. A collection that revolutionises expectations in the industry.
The collection bears Ray-Ban's unmistakable design DNA whilst housing state-of-the-art technology:
The Headliner: This panthos shape is a fresh interpretation and hybrid of the Wayfarer and Round shapes, creating a silhouette which speaks to modern sensibilities. Also available in a thoughtfully designed low bridge fit variation for more inclusivity. This style is a good choice if eyewear tends to slide down your nose, sits too low, or presses on your temples or cheeks. Constructed from an injection moulded plastic of outstanding quality, with a combination of colourways including standard and polarised lenses. Ray-Ban Meta Headliner will take you into the future in style.
Ray-Ban have engineered these frames to deliver up to four hours of single continuous use on one charge. However, the built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery charging case provides an additional eight charges, offering a total of 36 hours of potential use. The quick-charge capability means you can achieve 50% battery in just 22 minutes, and 100% in just 75 minutes.
The technical capabilities of these frames are truly astonishing. A 12MP ultra-wide camera lies at the heart of the design, able to capture photos at 3024x4032 resolution and videos at 1440x1920 pixels, at 30fps. This is beyond a significant upgrade from previous generations. 32GB storage capacity can accommodate 500+ photos and 100+ videos.
Audio quality is also enhanced, courtesy of custom-built open-ear speakers, delivering output 50% louder and twice the bass of previous models. A five-microphone system ensures crystal-clear voice capture and enables features such as spatial audio recording. Audio capabilities extend far beyond basic sound. Partnerships with Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible and many more transform these frames into a premium audio device. Spotify Tap™ integration allows instant access to your music with simple gesture controls:
- Single tap for play/pause
- Double-tap to skip forward
- Triple tap for previous track
- Intuitive swipe gestures for volume control.
The Integration of Meta AI is perhaps the most groundbreaking innovation of these frames, delivering never-seen intelligence to eyewear. Voice commands allow seamless control over features, making it easier than ever before to call a friend or take a quick photo. Multimodal AI even has the capability to provide real-time information about what you're looking at, translate speech or text, give you suggestions and ideas for creative captions for your content. Here are examples of how each can be used.
Identification:
- "Hey Meta, look and tell me..." — What kind of fruit is this? — What does it taste like?
Translation:
- "Hey Meta, tell me what this word means? — translate this text.
Suggestion:
- " Hey Meta, caption this view”
Caption:
- “Hey Meta, tell me a good recipe to make from these ingredients”
AI is revolutionising tech, and the auto-capture feature represents a paradigm shift in snapshotting moments. With this, you can automatically capture up to 30 minutes of significant moments and use AI to select the best shots.
But these frames aren't just about capturing moments – they're about sharing them. Leave your phone in your pocket and share your moment on the go! Now you can send photos to your friends on Messenger, WhatsApp, and your phone's native messaging provider directly from your Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses using just your voice. The collection also features sophisticated voice messaging capabilities. Integrated seamlessly with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, these frames enable you to send and receive voice messages completely hands-free.
Breaking new ground in social connectivity, the Ray-Ban Meta collection is compatible with the era of livestreaming, introducing seamless streaming capabilities that put creators in control of their narrative, with effortless recording. Direct integration with Instagram and Facebook Live enables instant sharing of your unique perspective, with double-press mechanism allowing the user to toggle between their glasses' camera and phone camera mid-stream. A 'tap and hold' gesture on the temple allows you to monitor viewer comments without breaking your flow. Streaming just got so much easier!
Although, privacy is more important than ever in the digital age, and Ray-Ban understand this, equipping these frames with features like an LED indicator that signals when capture features are in use, reducing the chance of being secretly recorded against your will. The Meta View app provides comprehensive control over privacy settings, data sharing, and device management.
Ray-Ban Meta with Transitions® lenses is the perfect match for a dynamic lifestyle. They are ideal for those who want to enjoy seamlessly their smart glasses indoors and out, meaning you will only have to take off your glasses to charge them!
