Meta's Bold Leap: AI-Powered Smart Glasses with Celeste Unveiled
Meta is set to reveal its first consumer-ready AI-powered smart glasses, named Celeste, at its Connect event. Despite criticism over child safety on its platforms, the company hopes the new glasses will further integrate AI into daily life. However, the $800 price may pose a barrier for widespread adoption.
Meta is preparing to make a significant announcement at its annual Connect event, unveiling its latest AI-powered smart glasses named Celeste. The company continues to face criticism for its approach to child safety on social media, raising questions about its policies as it pushes forward with new technology.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to debut the consumer-ready glasses at Meta's headquarters in Menlo Park, California. With a retail price projected around $800, these glasses feature a small digital display in the right lens for notifications and basic functions. The high price could limit consumer interest in the device, analysts suggest.
Despite ongoing challenges, including a competitive AI landscape with firms like OpenAI, Meta remains committed to its vision. The company plans to open its smart glasses to third-party developers, offering a software kit to expand the device's capabilities. This move aims to attract more developers and establish a robust platform for future innovations.
