Some of these tools included:• Being able to call a volunteer for general assistance.• Be My AI: Being able to take a picture and get back a detailed description.• Being able to call a company or organization to receive specialized assistance with a product or service.• And being able to use Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses for additional ways to gain knowledge and information.
