Ray-Ban feature suggestions for visually impaired users

I am a visually impaired user who got a pair of Ray-Ban glasses a month ago. The glasses have been very useful in my everyday life, but there are a few things that could improve them and make more visually impaired people purchase the glasses. 

Barcode recognition: It would be cool if we could use Meta AI to scan barcodes for products where we could ask questions about the product that we are holding. Such as the price, nutritional facts, and cooking instructions. A similar feature exists on an app called SeeingAI, but implementing this feature on the Ray-Bans would help so many blind people by allowing them to gain more information while they do their shopping without having to hold an accessibility device in their hands. 
This last thing isn’t a feature suggestion but more of an issue that I have with the glasses. I constantly try to use Meta AI to read me documents but it always summarizes what’s on the page instead of reading it to me. I find that I have to change my wording and ask follow up questions to get it to do what I want. This isn’t a Meta specific issue as I have had this problem with other AI’s. For not being designed to aid the visually impaired, the glasses have been very beneficial!
