There are also sensors at the ends of the temples that allow you to control media by touching the glasses, such as pausing the music, skipping or going back to the previous song. The lenses can be fitted with a variety of lenses: prescription, translucent and even with special effects. The choice can be made at the time of pre-sale.
Cameras
One big difference compared to the 2023 model is video recording: despite having the same 12 MP ultra-wide lens, it is now possible to record videos in 3K resolution (the first model only recorded videos in HD resolution). In terms of photo capture, there have been no changes: it continues to deliver results close to those we see in fish-eye effects.
The same cameras can also be used for live broadcasts on Facebook e Instagram, in addition to video calls on WhatsApp. The idea is that the glasses can be used at events, without the need for the user to be holding the cell phone at all times.
It is worth remembering that all photos and videos can be viewed and shared via Meta AI application, available to Android e iOS.

Loudspeakers

But the important thing is that you end up benefiting in terms of hearing, since the sound is sent via bone conduction, behind the ear. When we test Ray-Ban Meta In 2023, this was one of the main positive points of the user experience, so the company kept the idea, but now in another style, which should attract the attention of athletes and fans of extreme sports.

The personal assistant AI goal present in the 2023 glasses is also available in Oakley Meta. In addition to being able to respond to basic commands, such as providing information about the weather or helping with specific questions using the smartphone's internet, AI also has computer vision capabilities.
By saying “Hey Meta,” you can ask your personal assistant to play a song based on what’s being seen on the cameras or even ask for a recipe based on the ingredients you have in the fridge. All in a matter of seconds. AI goal You can also start recording videos or taking photos with just a voice command, eliminating the need to press the physical button.
