Live Stream With Meta-Ban Multimodal Smart Glasses

Ray-Ban's Meta-Ban Multimodal Smart Glasses use Meta AI's virtual assistant software to allow wearers to ask questions about their environment and can even live stream what the 12 megapixel camera in the glasses is seeing.

These camera-enabled sun glasses are pretty much exactly the True-Vu Lenses in David Brin's 1990 novel Earth. In the time of the story, street crime was virtually wiped out by the simple expedient of making cheap surveillance available to everyone.
