Meta AI can now "see" through Ray-Ban's smart glasses and can choose outfits and identify objects

When you get out of bed in the morning, the last thing you want to think about is what you're going to wear that day That's why we default to something like a uniform, but Ray-Ban's Meta Smart Glasses have been updated to let Meta AI plan your outfit for you instead

Mark Zuckerberg posted a video on Instagram demonstrating Meta AI's new multimodal AI feature using Ray-Ban's Meta Smart Glasses The feature is currently available for select glasses users as part of the Meta View app's Early Access program, which helped Zuckerberg find pants that matched his striped shirt Utilizing the camera built into the glasses, Meta AI was able to identify the shirt's appearance and make appropriate suggestions

Inspired by this demo, I tried using the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses myself, which I reviewed briefly earlier this year I was invited to join the Early Access program, so I updated the software, put the frames on my face, and headed to my closet to see if the Meta AI could pick out an outfit that would look good on me

I began my clothing journey with a simple black t-shirt, which the AI chose No, it may not seem like the biggest challenge for the Meta AI; it's what I wear almost every day But here's what it looked like

Prompt "Hey Meta, tell me what kind of pants you like to wear with this shirt" Answer "This black shirt looks great and can be paired with a variety of pants to create different outfits: 1 1 dark wash jeans for a classic combination that will never go out of style; 2 black jogger pants or leggings for a comfortable and chic look; 3 white linen pants add a touch of elegance and sophistication; 4 olive green cargo pants are perfect for a casual, streetwear-inspired look; and 5 white jogger pants and leggings add a touch of sophistication

In fact, I own all four of these pants However, I had just washed my favorite green cargo pants, so I grabbed them to match my shirt and laid them both out on the bed in front of me Next, I needed shoes

Prompt: "Hey Meta, what kind of shoes should I wear with this outfit? Answer: "Sophisticated Chelsea boots or black boots would look cohesive and stylish" Prompt: "But what if I want to wear sneakers?" Answer: "But what if I want to wear sneakers?" If you want to wear sneakers, a pair of black or white low-top sneakers will help you look put together Popular choices include the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, Common Pro Original Achilles, and Adidas Superstar These sneakers complement the outfit and give it a clean, laid-back look"

I was impressed with how the AI swiveled when I told them I preferred the sneakers Not only am I familiar with all three styles of sneakers, but I have a pair of Adidas sneakers that look a lot like Superstars I pulled them out of my closet and added them to the pile Now all I needed was a bag to complete the look

Prompt: "What bag goes with this outfit? Answer: "For that outfit, consider a black or brown leather tote, such as Longchamp's Le Pliage or Mulberry's Bayswater Tote"

Obviously, the meta AI does not know my tax rate Fortunately, I had a leather crossbody bag that fit the description well enough, so I packed it and prepared to head out for the day

To my surprise, Meta AI helped me create a cohesive outfit It quickly responded with specific ideas based on my prompts and what it saw through my eyes Overall, my first experience with Meta AI was frictionless

What the Meta AI can do is still quite limited at this point It would be great if it could help me shop by telling me where things I see in public come from When I asked to procure a coat for a co-worker, I was told that they could not find my specific item, but that they would be able to do so in the near future

That said, I can see why some people are horrified by this new feature of the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses I've said it before and I'll say it again, these smart glasses are not for people who worry about AI invading their lives

But for someone like me, who might find life easier on a day when I'm having a total clothing-related meltdown (ladies, if you know what I mean), this feels like the new frontier of wearable tech Ray-Ban's Meta Smart Glasses don't look like a high-tech product like the clip-on Humane Ai Pin; they look more like a pair of glasses that can be worn with a pair of glasses, and they look like a pair of glasses that can be worn with a pair of glasses
