Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, which feature small cameras on the sides of the frames, are going a bit viral on TikTok. The glasses can take photos and record video, as well as send texts and make phone calls.
Last week Meta announced that it’s launching new AI features where users will be able to do things like translate languages in real time, answer questions that come up through the day and even help you match a shirt with a pair of pants. Saying ‘Hey Meta’ will summon the AI-powered virtual assistant and give it access to the glasses’ camera and microphone.
Today we’re taking a look at sleek clogs, a rechargeable lighter and a bitters kit. This is Today in Gear.

For the Paper Towel Lover
We get it, paper towels are very convenient and a lot more appealing to use than reaching for a moldy damp rag to wipe the counters. Introducing Blueland’s ‘Cloud Cloth’ ($28) which is basically a reusable “paper” towel and somewhere between a sponge and a rag. One cloth can substitute 1,500 paper towels and absorb 10 times its weight in water. Plus, you can throw it in the dishwasher or boil it if it needs a refresh.

It’s simple, fast and doesn’t generate messy waste like matches can. The Motli Light also has a built in flashlight so you can see what you’re doing and can produce a flame even in windy conditions. Plus, it comes in a lot of fun colors. The perfect stocking stuffer!
