The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are just a few months into their life at this point but have just graduated to Version 2.0 software. The update brings improvements to the camera imagery, as well as the volume controls.

Still missing, however, is any sign of the AI-powered image recognition, which will let the glasses tell you what you’re looking at, or potentially translate signs and whatnot. And a good many of us still don’t even see the option to get in on the beta testing. So stay tuned for that.

The official changelog reads thusly:

As for whether the camera is greatly improved? That’ll take a little more testing.

The Ray-Ban Meta sunglasses start at about $300 and go up from there, depending on the style and lenses.
