Today, Meta Platforms Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg rolled out a new generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses that can stream directly on Facebook, as well as new AI products for consumers.

Zuckerberg said a new generation of Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses would start shipping on Oct. 17, priced at $299.

The device will incorporate a new Meta AI assistant and be capable of livestreaming broadcasts of what a user is seeing directly to Facebook and Instagram, an advancement over the previous generation's ability to snap photos.

Zuckerberg also introduced the company's first consumer-facing generative AI products, including the Meta AI chatbot that can generate both text responses and photo-realistic images.

Meta AI will also be built in to the glasses as an assistant, starting with a beta rollout in the United States. A software update planned for next year will give the assistant the ability to identify places and objects that people are seeing, as well as to perform language translation.

Meta made the assistant, named Meta AI, using a custom model based on the powerful Llama 2 large language model that the company released for public commercial use in July. The chatbot will have access to real-time information via a partnership with Microsoft's (MSFT.O) Bing search engine, Zuckerberg said.
