Capturing concerts with AI glasses from Meta

At concerts, what usually pulls you out of the moment? More often than not, it’s your phone. Your favorite song starts, you scramble to hit record and suddenly you’re seeing the show through a screen instead of experiencing it.

Now imagine this: The music swells, the crowd roars and instead of grabbing your phone, you simply speak a command or tap your temple. Your AI glasses capture the moment for you, hands-free, so you stay fully immersed in the performance.

That’s just one way AI glasses elevate concerts and other live events. Let’s explore what else they can do.

Why do concertgoers wear AI glasses?

Across the entertainment industry, AI glasses are turning once-theoretical ideas into reality. For concertgoers, this advancement in technology opens the door to greater connectivity, communication, support and even style during shows.

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) is available in three distinct styles to match different looks and personalities: Wayfarer (timeless), Headliner (bold) and Skyler (refined), each offered in multiple color options. Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are currently available in the Wayfarer design.

From staying connected with friends to capturing performances in 3K Ultra HD, AI glasses are redefining what it means to be present at a concert — enhancing the experience without getting in the way.

Key AI glasses features that enhance concert experiences

AI glasses combine advanced technology with timeless design:

• On-demand photo and video capture: These AI glasses with camera capabilities record what you see, exactly as you see it. Say, “Hey Meta, take a photo” or “Hey Meta, take a video.” Even in a noisy concert setting, your AI glasses’ multi-mic array will hear you loud and clear.
• AI support: Meta AI offers support at the exact moment you need it. Just say, “Hey Meta…” followed by your prompt. Meta AI responds through discreet open-ear speakers and, when using Meta Ray-Ban Display, through on-lens visual prompts.
• Transition lenses: Ray-Ban Meta glasses offer multiple lens types, including Transitions® lenses that automatically adapt to changing light. They darken outdoors in bright sunlight, then return to a clear state in low-light environments. When the venue’s house lights fade and the stage lights rise, your view stays crisp and comfortable.

What are AI glasses used for at concerts?

For fans, AI glasses redefine what a concert can feel like — removing barriers between you and the music, and making everyone feel a little more connected. Here’s how.

Access directions on-demand

You never know when you may need AI’s support. Imagine parking far from the concert venue and needing to get there on foot. Just say, “Hey Meta, direct me to [venue]” to receive guided pedestrian directions.* How you receive these directions depends on which AI glasses you have:

• Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2): Meta AI provides step-by-step directions through discreet open-ear speakers with adaptive volume. These speakers deliver clear audio while keeping you aware of your surroundings.
• Meta Ray-Ban Display: Meta AI shows and tells. Alongside audio prompts, Meta Ray-Ban Display’s full-color, high-resolution 600 x 600 pixel display delivers a visual map (only available while on-foot).

*This feature is currently in Beta and only available in select cities.

Capture memories, hands-free

Don’t let your phone stand between you and being present. AI glasses let you capture high-quality photos and videos, completely hands-free. To capture photos, Ray-Ban Meta glasses come with an ultra-wide 12 MP camera with a 100° field of view.

Just say, “Hey Meta, take a photo” or tap the capture button on your glasses’ frame. You can also relive memories via 3K Ultra HD video capture, supported by advanced motion stabilization.

Whether you’re capturing quick clips for Instagram or recording longer performances, Meta offers AI glasses designed for every type of moment. Video length varies by model:

• Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2): Record up to 3 minutes per clip by default.
• Oakley Meta: Record up to 3 minutes per clip on most models.
• Oakley Meta Vanguard: Record up to 5 minutes per clip when enabled in the Meta AI app.

If you’re seated toward the back of the concert venue, Meta Ray-Ban Display comes with 3x digital zoom. Zoom in and out by making subtle hand gestures, which are picked up by the Meta Neural Band.

Upload and share in real time

Post while the energy’s still high — and don’t miss a moment. After you capture photos or videos, you can quickly sync them to your phone and share them straight to your socials (Stories, Reels, posts) or send them to friends in group chats.

• Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2): Share from your phone right after capture — perfect for fast uploads between songs.
• Meta Ray-Ban Display: Share just as quickly, with the added benefit of on-lens visual prompts that let you preview posts and stay oriented as you move through the crowd.

Remember all the details

Concerts move fast, and it’s easy for even important tasks to slip your mind. With Meta AI, you can set reminders on the spot by saying:

• “Hey Meta, remind me to buy merch in an hour.”
• “Hey Meta, remind me to pick up [friend] from [location] at 6 PM.”
• “Hey Meta, remind me in half an hour to get water before the show starts.”

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) delivers these reminders through audio, while Meta Ray-Ban Display provides both audio and visual prompts. You can customize how you receive them, too — for instance, opting for visual-only reminders when wearing Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.

Even in a loud venue, you can trust that your reminders will come through clearly. The open-ear speakers maintain crisp audio in busy environments, and the multi-mic array ensures your voice commands are picked up with accuracy, no matter the noise around you.

Communicate seamlessly

When you’re navigating a packed concert or sprawling festival grounds, staying connected with friends matters. AI glasses make it easy to communicate hands-free, so you can coordinate plans, share updates and keep the vibe going.

With Ray-Ban Meta glasses, you can send messages, make calls and share what you’re seeing, without stopping the music. If you’re trying to find your group between sets, just say, “Hey Meta, call Alex,” or send a quick update without reaching for your phone.

You can also use your AI glasses to:

• Send hands-free messages on WhatsApp and Messenger to keep group chats in sync.
• Share your point of view on a video call so friends can see exactly where you are.
• Capture and share high-definition photos and videos for quick updates — or to rewatch later.
