Ray-Ban Meta are mainstream glasses that can be in sunglasses or prescription form, featuring built-in camera, microphones and speakers to allow the user to gather information from the world around them. This information is ten spoken aloud to help with navigation, object identification and reading text.
The Meta glasses can be used in conjunction with the Be My Eyes app.
Voice-Assisted Navigation: The Meta Glasses can be paired with voice control and use built-in AI features to receive audio cues or verbal instructions to help them navigate the school and classroom, identify locations (e.g., classrooms, hallways, restroom), and interact with their surroundings without needing to rely on sight.
Real-Time Object Recognition: Using the glasses' AR features, a student could receive audio descriptions of objects or obstacles around them. The glasses could be connected to an app that recognises common objects (e.g., doors, chairs, staircases) and provide auditory feedback, helping the student avoid hazards and find objects with greater ease.
Reading Assistance: The Meta Glasses can be equipped with apps or software that scan printed materials (such as textbooks, notes, or whiteboard content) and convert them into audio. The glasses could read aloud the text in real time, making learning materials accessible in various classroom settings.
