Welcome back to another episode of Tech Connect brought to you by Vision Forward Association! We are so excited to be back in studio bringing you the latest and greatest in Assistive Technology!
Massive tech companies have been racing to develop their very own style of Smart Glasses using modern lightweight materials and built-in AI powered assistance. And some believe that such an invention would be as impactful as a sequel to the smartphone!
Today we are taking a look at the Meta Glasses, made in collaboration with Ray-Ban.
Are you searching for some wearable assistive technology that you can actually wear? These sleek glasses sport an ultra-wide 12 megapixel camera and come equipped with Meta AI which not only provides handsfree voice control but also recognizes objects, text, people and then answers any follow-up questions you might pose to it.
Join Cory and Luke as we demonstrate the Meta Glasses and walk through a few use cases which might be particularly useful for those who are blind or have low vision.
