Benefits of cooking with AI glasses from Meta

Level up your culinary skills with crystal clear optics and Meta AI assistance.

Here are some benefits of AI glasses in the kitchen.

Hands-free cooking

Checking recipes or meal prep tips on your phone while cooking gets cumbersome. Meta AI keeps your hands clean and free to chop, saute and taste. Use voice commands with “Hey Meta” to cue up responses from your built-in AI assistant.

Voice control in Ray-Ban Meta lets you capture photos and videos as you go. Document the cooking process, then post the final dish to social media without pausing to pick up your phone. To share a moment “live,” make a hands-free video call straight from your AI glasses.

Meta AI advice

Meta AI is your dedicated AI cooking assistant that serves up real-time guidance and support. Just say, “Hey Meta,” and ask your virtual sous chef for recipe recommendations, cooking tips or ingredient substitutions.

Meta AI in Ray-Ban Meta responds with audio answers in open-ear speakers. If you’re using Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, you’ll see eye-level responses projected on the 600x600 in-lens screen. Ask and Meta AI will even dictate step-by-step cooking instructions as you work.

Lens options for any setting

Cook and serve in any setting with Ray-Ban Meta and the variety of lens options available. The classic Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer comes in a range of frame styles and colors. For lenses, choose from tinted and polarized lenses based on your style, or opt for Transitions® lenses that adjust to changing light conditions as you move from your outdoor grilling station to your dining table. Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN are also prescription-compatible so you always have a clear view of your workstation.

No more headphones

Ray-Ban Meta glasses turn what might be a chore into an enjoyable experience by streaming your favorite music or podcast while cooking. Listen without losing touch. Call and text hands-free, right from your glasses. The open-ear speakers provide premium audio without blocking ambient noise so you stay alert to other sounds in the kitchen.

High-quality content creation

Demo cooking hacks on social media or boast your culinary skills in the group chat with point-of-view (POV) shots through the 12MP HD camera. Enhance your videos by adjusting stabilization for smoother, clearer footage — perfect for sharing in chats and on socials, creating better content overall. With Meta Ray-Ban Display, you can restyle images in real time with voice-activated commands or basic hand movements*.

6 tips for using AI glasses for cooking

Reduce your time in the kitchen with hands-free, voice-activated support from your AI glasses.

Here’s how to use AI for cooking.

1. Plan your meals

Not sure what to serve at tonight’s dinner party? Avoid the hassle of meal planning by asking your Meta AI for ideas. Check your pantry and say, “Hey Meta, give me recipe suggestions based on these ingredients.” Meta AI will generate delicious options that pair with what you have on hand. Plus, if you already have a recipe in mind, Meta AI can draw up a shopping list with everything you need to whip it up.

2. Set timers

Take breaks without a care when preparing large meals. Set timers with voice commands, and your AI glasses will remind you when time’s up on a roast or reduction. No need to keep your eyes or hands locked on your workstation. Meta AI will prompt you, right in your ear.

3. Substitute ingredients

Don’t panic if you run out of an ingredient but can’t run out to the store. Meta AI offers suggestions on replacements so your dish ends up tasting great regardless. You can also get advice on adjustments to cooking times or methods to match the substitution. Just say, “Hey Meta” and ask it to walk you through the steps as you go.

4. Share creations on social media

Show off your latest culinary masterpiece with hands-free capture. Record up to 3-minute POV videos, take burst photos for the perfect shot or use hyperlapse to speed up longer cooking steps into a quick, shareable clip. Then just say, “Hey Meta, post my last photo to Instagram,” to share instantly — or send it straight to your foodie chat group with a voice command.

5. Capture now, edit later

Set your privacy preferences to allow Meta AI to automatically save captured images and videos. After cooking, edit the visuals to perfection in the Meta AI app before sharing them with the world. Maximize creativity by using descriptive text prompts to insert and remove objects from images, add viral background tracks to your content and cut and splice clips.

6. Record seamless POV cooking tutorials

Show your full process with features designed for tutorial-style videos. Enable video stabilization to reduce shakes as you chop, stir or move through the kitchen, creating clear, steady footage that’s easy for viewers to follow. Use extended recording to capture multiple steps in one continuous sequence without interruptions.
