One of the most striking features is that you can now live stream from the glasses directly to Facebook or Instagram, in addition to interacting with the advanced conversational assistant Meta IIsimply using your voice with the command, “Hey Meta.”
“We’re releasing a free software update for the glasses that makes them multimodal. The glasses will be able to understand what you’re looking at if you ask them questions. So if you want to know what building is in front of you, or if you want to translate the sign that’s in front of you to know what it says,” said Mark Zuckerberg during the presentation of the device.
Some of the features that the new smart glasses bring:

Meta has an advanced conversational assistant, Meta IIwearing smart glasses Ray-Ban Meta, optimizing it for hands-free, motion-adapted operation. By saying, “Hello, Meta,” users can interact with the chatbot to stimulate creativity, receive information, and control features using voice commands.

The new version includes dedicated speakers with an extended bass range, higher maximum volume and improved directional sound, resulting in significantly reduced sound leakage during calls, music and podcasts, even in noisy or windy environments.
In addition, when recording video, a newly developed five-microphone system allows you to record audio with an immersive effect, capturing sounds in their original form: from the front, from the sides, from behind or even from above.
