hey meta look and tell me what you see I see a person wearing a black hoodie and jeans standing in front of a large window with a camera held up to their eye so these are the meta Rayband smart glasses I did a video about them already earlier this year but they just got an update that I have early access to that makes this smart assistant multimodal so it connects the AI to the camera on the front and it's pretty good so you always have to start it with the same phrase so I have to say hey meta look and tell me how to save this plant the plant appears to be a draa which is known for its durability and low maintenance requirements to save it make sure it's getting enough and direct sunlight and water it sparingly allowing the soil to dry out between waterings so it's pretty basic now but theoretically in the future you can look at a leaky faucet and it can tell you how to fix it or you can look at a restaurant menu it'll read the whole thing and tell you which ones have nuts or which ones are spicy accessibility aside that's pretty cool
The short showcases Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses with an added multimodal AI assistant. The host demonstrates starting the system with the wake phrase, then asks it for practical guidance, like how to save a plant. The AI leverages the front camera to identify objects and provide actionable steps, such as confirming that the plant is a draa and giving basic care tips like ensuring sunlight and modest watering, with soil drying between waterings. The demonstration hints at future capabilities, including troubleshooting a leaky faucet or reading a restaurant menu and describing which items contain nuts or are spicy, highlighting the potential breadth of on-device, real-time assistance. Overall, the video frames these glasses as a hands-free way to receive contextual information and guidance, with accessibility use-cases noted in the comments as an important potential benefit for visually impaired users. The short ends by underscoring the cool factor of having a personal assistant that can interpret the world through a camera and provide immediate feedback.
