Goal Ray-Ban Display, Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) … As expected, Mark Zuckerberg released the new connected glasses designed by his company during his annual conference, Connect. While the surprise was spoiled two days before this event by the company itself, the CEO has not pretended to be nothing.
A screen to depend on the smartphone?
Meta connected glasses with a screen were presented with a screen, the Ray-Ban target screen. The objective with this pair is to allow users to perform daily tasks without having to get their smartphone: Mark Zuckerberg not only hides the smartphone for him is almost an object of the past. Thanks to the screen integrated in the right glass, they can check their messages and take video calls, take photos, but also follow a route.
They will also have the opportunity to exchange with a person who speaks another language without problem, because glasses will provide a real -time translation. The Ray-Ban target screen can also show subtitles when your user looks at a panel in another language, for example. Not forgetting the goal assistant AI capable of answering questions based on visual elements. So much information that will appear on a 600×600 pixels screen, high resolution, which offers clear, colorful and bright images inside and outside, according to goal.
Controlled glasses with a bracelet
In addition to this screen, the goal screen Ray-Ban has microphones, speakers and cameras, among other things, listening to music. They are controlled using a bracelet called the neural target band, capable of interpreting electromyographic signals, impulses sent to the muscles of the forearm by the brain. Therefore, the movements of the hand will allow to move, click and write messages soon. Designed to be lasting, light and comfortable, it can last until 6 pm, according to the company. Proposed in three sizes, IPX7 is also certified to resist water.

These glasses do not change in design terms, but they benefit from other software news, such as Focus Conversation, which uses open driving speakers to amplify the voice of an interlocutor so that its carrier can listen to it in noisy environments (coffees, parks, etc.).
