Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses can now recognize and describe landmarks

The developer of Ray-Ban has added an AI feature, currently in beta format. The device has been trained to recognize landmarks and provide information about them, acting as a kind of guide for tourists.

The visual search function in Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses works similarly to Google Lens technology: users "show" what they see and ask the AI questions about it. The system performs real-time searches using Bing Search.

Meta's Chief Technology Officer, Andrew Bosworth, demonstrated how the new feature works. The system provided information about San Francisco landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Painted Ladies architectural ensemble, and Coit Tower—all in the form of image captions. The feature was also demonstrated with voice explanations about landmarks in Montana and how snow forms.
