A New Addition to Kylie Jenner’s Business Empire
Kylie Jenner, the 28-year-old billionaire and media personality, has once again expanded her business empire by venturing into the world of wearables. This time, she has partnered with Meta to create a new line of AI-powered glasses called Meta Glasses by Kylie. These smart glasses are designed to blend style with technology, offering users a unique way to interact with their digital world.
The glasses feature a slim oval frame that is said to be inspired by Kylie's personal style. They come equipped with built-in cameras and speakers, allowing users to take photos, record videos, and listen to music on the go. What makes these glasses even more special is that Kylie has lent her voice to the product. Her hit song "Rise and Shine," which first went viral in 2019, is included as part of the experience.
"Kylie inspired the feel and sound of her AI glasses, with a custom sparkling chime when putting them on and off, and her own voice available for Meta AI," Meta explained. "She even recorded some of her most famous lines – pop your glasses on first thing in the morning to start your day with Kylie's 'rise and shine.'"
Features of Meta Glasses by Kylie
Meta Glasses by Kylie are one of three new Meta Glasses models unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg's company today. The other two are the Meta Adventurer, which features a clean, rectangular shape, and the Meta Fury, which has a bolder frame. At first glance, these glasses look like any other pair of sunglasses, but upon closer inspection, they reveal several smart features.
One of the standout features is the dedicated action button that quickly summons Meta's latest AI model, Muse Spark. According to Meta, "Meta Glasses are our first AI glasses to launch with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from Day 1." This means that the AI glasses will deliver smarter answers on everything from sports scores to local restaurant picks, better understand what you're seeing, and help manage your daily life effortlessly.
