What to know about the Meta glasses the New Orleans attacker used to scout the French Quarter

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — The man who drove a truck into a crowd of people in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, killing 14, had previously scouted the French Quarter and recorded video with his Meta smart glasses, the FBI said. On Oct. 31, Shamsud-Din Jabbar recorded video with the glasses as he cycled through the French Quarter and plotted the attack, said Lyonel Myrthil, FBI special agent in charge of the New Orleans field office. What the glasses can do One of the glasses’ main selling points is the ability to capture images and video using the onboard camera, then upload those files to Instagram or Facebook. The camera also allows Meta’s AI assistant to see what you’re seeing, allowing it to translate text into multiple languages, and answer simple questions, such as searching the nearest landmark to your location.
