Welcome everyone to another fantastic episode of Tech Connect brought to you by Vision Forward Association! As always, our Assistive Technology Experts are excited to bring you the latest and greatest in Assistive Technology News and Reviews!
The Meta Smart Glasses, made in collaboration with Ray-Ban, have already stirred up a significant amount of attention in the AT field. These sleek glasses have a built in 12 megapixel camera and come equipped with Meta AI which not only provides handsfree voice control but also recognizes objects, text, and even people! But that's not all! Meta AI can then answer any follow-up questions you might pose to it.
So how could Meta possibly get any betta? With Be My Eyes of course! Cory and Luke are happy to report that now you can use your Meta Glasses in conjunction with Be My Eyes! That means you are now able to request a volunteer who can help you by seeing directly through the Meta's built in camera. The best part? It can all be done handsfree via voice commands!
Join Cory and Luke as they run through how to set up this feature, demonstrate its use, and discuss the exciting future of the Meta Glasses!
