So what do Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth and Kris Jenner have in common?  Their use of the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses in an epic Super Bowl ad --- and boy, how they all look good wearing them!  

The ad begins with these two gentlemen, each sporting the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, exploring what seems to be an art gallery.  Chris Pratt then uses AI to identify an 'artwork,' and the AI identifies it as the 'Comedian' (the famous banana duct-taped to a wall).  As Chris continues to explore, Chris Hemsworth appears beside him, munching on the said banana!  Horrified, Pratt explains to Hemsworth (who was clearly unaware of its value) that the banana he is munching on is an artwork sold at an auction for $6.2M!  The next scene shows the two Chrises rummaging through a refrigerator in desperation to find a replacement banana.  Then Kris Jenner appears--and you guessed it-- she too was wearing the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses.  As it turns out, Pratt and Hemsworth are in Kris Jenner's home and not in a gallery.  Irritated yet poised, Jenner asks, 'Who eats art?'  The two Chrises then use their charm and wittingly teach Jenner the proper command, 'Hey Meta.'  Jenner responds by using the Meta AI prompt to call her lawyer.

The ad was filled with humor and spunk.  Best of all, it brilliantly promoted the use of the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses.  This collection of smart glasses is durable, lightweight and comfortable to wear.  Maintaining the classic Ray-Ban styles, the collection comes in a wide variety of lens and frame combinations including the Wayfarer, Skyler and Headliner.

The Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses has the following key features:

  • It features the conversational Meta AI assistant allowing hands-free control of calls, texts, and control features.  It can also find answers to any of the user's questions.  It is activated by simply saying, "Hey Meta."  No need to unlock the phone or "press and hold" for assistance.
  • It is equipped with a five-speaker setup for an immersive and realistic audio experience.  The temple-tip speakers have higher max volume, double the bass, and better directional audio so people around you won't be bothered even if you take a call or listen to your playlist.
  • There is a discreet, 12MP ultra-wide camera located at the outer corner of each lens.  Apart from capturing high-quality images, it can record 1080p videos up to 60 seconds that can be easily shared via AI and voice commands.
  • It has a hands-free  live streaming feature so when there is a need to share, you can do so in real-time.
  • The Ray-Ban Meta AI smart glasses have a long battery life.  It provides up to 36 hours of use on a single charge.

 

So there you have it.  The hilarious Super Bowl ad is a brilliant showcase of the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses' impressive features.  It was a star-studded cameo, and all the actors showed their love for high-tech eyewear perfectly.  And frankly, it does look good.  So, are you ready to upgrade your look and your tech?  I think I am.
