In late April, Meta released an update for its unbelievably popular Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses (). Although these don’t run on the exciting new Android XR platform, they have been a very successful entry into the burgeoning AR glasses market. Thanks to this latest update, the glasses now have a new feature: live translation.
As a frequent traveler, I rely on translation apps a lot — specifically Google Translate. Could the Ray-Ban Metas be better than Google Translate for my conversations with people who don’t speak English? They certainly seemed like they could, considering the convenience of having the glasses on my face, making for an unobtrusive translation conduit.
