Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Get AI-Powered Upgrade
Introducing Live AI and Live Translation
Meta has announced several new AI-powered upgrades for its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, including the ability to have an ongoing conversation and translate between languages.
First to Market with Real-Time AI Video
With Monday’s update, Meta becomes one of the first tech giants to market with real-time AI video on smart glasses. Ray-Ban Meta owners in Meta’s early access program for the United States and Canada can now download firmware v11, which adds "live AI", according to the company.
Live Translation: Breaking Down Language Barriers
Firmware v11 also introduces live translation, which enables Ray-Ban Meta wearers to translate real-time speech between English and Spanish, French, or Italian. When a wearer is talking to someone speaking one of those languages, they’ll hear what the speaker says in English through the glasses’ open-ear speakers and get a transcript on their paired phone.
Seamless Conversations
First unveiled this fall, live AI lets wearers continuously converse with Meta’s AI assistant, Meta AI, to reference things they discussed earlier in the conversation. Whether you’re having a discussion with a colleague, chatting with a friend, or negotiating a deal, live AI ensures a seamless conversation experience.
Real-Time Video Insights
Live AI also works with real-time video. Wearers can ask questions about what they’re seeing in real time. Imagine having the ability to ask an AI-powered assistant about the history of a landmark as you walk by it, or asking for recommendations about a product as you look at it in a store.
Conclusion
Meta’s latest upgrade to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses marks a significant milestone in the development of AI-powered wearables. With its ability to facilitate seamless conversations and real-time translation, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are poised to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us.
