Meta Platforms’ (META) artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Ray-Ban smart glasses are proving to be a “game-changer” for the visually impaired,

The smart glasses have been such a hit that EssilorLuxottica is ramping up production in a big way. As reported by UploadVR, the manufacturer is aiming to churn out a whopping 10 million units a year by the end of 2026.

Are chatbots yesterday's news? Kind of. OpenAI's launch of ChatGPT in late 2023 ignited a frenzy to implement generative AI that's still ongoing. However, the future of artificial intelligence (AI) won't be limited to merely having a conversation with a computer.

Just be aware: these glasses are strange. They emit an overwhelming vibe of weirdness. They make you feel like a hypocrite and, regardless of how effective the Ray-Ban Meta glasses are, we absolutely should be worried about tech giants and what they're doing to the planet we occupy.

Luckily, the Ray-Ban Meta glasses have built-in GPS functionality that offer real-time location tracking. Whether I’m in a trail alone in the woods or in a new part of town, Meta guides me through unfamiliar terrain with ease. I can rely on accurate directions and stay informed about my current position, reducing the risk of getting lost.

The Ray-Ban Meta glasses are a sales hit. The manufacturer wants to increase production to 10 million units per year. There are rumors about various innovations.

Meta Platforms Inc. has hired the former chief executive officer of luxury goods marketplace The RealReal Inc. to boost its retail sales channels for Quest headsets, smart glasses and other artificial intelligence wearables.

The tech giant made smart specs for the general public. Visually impaired owners use them to help with everyday tasks, though some critics cite safety concerns.
