Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave us a brief tour of his closet on Tuesday using the Ray-Ban x Meta Smart Glasses and my mind immediately went 10,373 days back in time to July 19, 1995 when Clueless starring Alicia Silverstone as Cher hit theaters.
Mark Zuckerberg, a fellow geriatric millennial (that’s what society has branded us older millennials), is just three months older than myself and I know when that movie came out it hit middle school like a bat out of hell. And while I couldn’t tell you a whole lot about the film these days because I’ve forgotten (that’s a lie, I could probably recite it word for word) I do remember Cher’s computer program for picking out outfits from her closet.
Zuck has just one-upped Cher’s computer program by using the Ray-Ban x Meta Smart Glasses to help him get dressed. And he’s shown it off in his latest Instagram post…Behold, a future where Meta’s AI ensures us men can leave the house and know we’re not dressed like jabronis.
If you scroll to the right, Mark Zuckerberg also puts Meta’s AI to the test by asking it to make some reasonably good jokes, to identify a wild fruit on the fly, and to translate a foreign language in real-time.
While these are all mundane uses of AI, the beauty here is these are very real-world cases in which someone like myself would use AI-enabled glasses.
What To Know About Mark Zuckerberg’s New Ray-Ban x Meta Smart Glasses
The newest models of the Ray-Ban x Meta Smart Glasses were released to the public on October 17th. They can be purchased through Meta.com and/or Ray-Ban’s website.
These new Meta AI-enabled glasses are a massive leap forward from previous iterations and boast improved audio, cameras, 150 different frame and lens combinations, and they’re lighter than their predecessors.
The glasses Mark Zuckerberg shows off in his latest Instagram post are straight out of the spy films from our childhoods. This model has 2x the bass and they’re 50% louder than earlier models. They also pack a 12 megapixel camera for HD photos and they can film 1080p videos for up to 60 seconds.
