Ray-Ban Display Glasses<\/a>, which have a built-in high-resolution display on the lens for viewing videos and text messages. It also has a closed caption feature that essentially puts subtitles on anyone you\u2019re talking to. Users wear a \u201cneural band\u201d on their wrist to control everything. The Ray-Ban Displays go for $799.<\/p>\nThe Next Big Thing?<\/p>\n
Could these Meta AI Glasses be game changers for farmers and precision specialists? Picture an equipment breakdown in the middle of planting season. A technician miles away could see what the farmer sees and walk them through a solution right away.<\/p>\n
Or maybe a farmer could use the built-in camera to record, stream and document pivotal moments throughout the growing season. Perhaps they could even analyze soil data with an agronomist remotely while they\u2019re walking their fields.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember when the original Google glasses came out, you could look at a cow and they could give you all the stats on a cow,\u201d says Joe Anderson, who works closely with precision technology for Wisconsin and Illinois Case IH dealer Johnson Tractor. \u201cWe\u2019re going to find a way to use AI technology in ag, there\u2019s no doubt about it. I could also see these glasses helping technicians by allowing them to pull up a video on how to repair something. We have techs aging out every day, and many of the new ones don\u2019t have that \u2018farm boy\u2019 experience, so any kind of educational tool would be helpful. The possibilities are endless.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like when we made the switch from the flip phone to the smart phone. At some point we had to bite the bullet and do it because it made life easier.\u201d <\/p>\n
Joe wears glasses. I asked him if he\u2019d consider buying a pair of prescription smart glasses.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe I\u2019d give them a try,\u201d he says. \u201cIt depends. Where\u2019s the technology at right now? Maybe I\u2019m not ready to wear them until it gets more reliable. It\u2019s like when we made the switch from the flip phone to the smart phone. At some point we had to bite the bullet and do it because it made life easier.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
Joe doesn\u2019t know anyone who\u2019s wearing smart glasses now. But he could see a world where OEMs make their factory workers wear smart glasses that flash green (for correct) or red (for wrong) when assembling parts. \u00a0<\/p>\n
He also says it might be a bit until we see widespread adoption of this technology on the farm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s going to be the bigger step for AI as a whole \u2014 getting the older generation of farmers to be OK with it,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily the data privacy that\u2019s a concern, but the privacy of what\u2019s going on at their farm.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the agronomic level, we can already take a smart phone, walk a row of corn and get a snapshot of how well we did. If we can put tools like that in the hand of the farmer and give them the upper edge, it just depends on when they become accepting of the technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
What do you think \u2014 practical or not? Will we see a shift from regular glasses to smart glasses like we did with the flip phone to the smart phone?
