Meta has unveiled new software updates for its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which include a range of advanced artificial intelligence features designed to enhance the glasses' ability to understand what they see and hear. This makes them more interactive and effective, further integrating them into daily life.
The new update, which is being gradually rolled out to users worldwide, enables the glasses to provide innovative experiences. For example, users can now directly share what the glasses capture during video calls on apps like WhatsApp and Messenger. This adds an interactive and immersive element to conversations, opening up new possibilities for communication.
Meta explained that the update also supports practical tasks such as seeking assistance during device repairs or consulting friends while shopping. It allows for a unique experience of sharing everyday moments in real time. Additionally, the company has integrated its personal assistant, Meta AI, into the glasses. Users can activate it with a voice command saying "Hey Meta," and it will provide instant information about what the camera is capturing, such as translating text or offering details about places and landmarks.
Although this feature is currently limited to users in Canada and the United States as part of a trial phase, Meta emphasized that the AI is continuously evolving. However, the company acknowledged that occasional inaccuracies might occur due to the nature of its ongoing learning process.
It’s also worth noting that Meta has expanded its use of its smart assistant across its various services, including WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, and Instagram. The assistant is now used to improve search experiences, generate instant images, and provide quick access to the internet.
With these updates, Meta reaffirms its commitment to delivering cutting-edge technologies that make life easier and better meet users’ everyday needs. This move reflects the company’s vision to enhance the integration of artificial intelligence and wearable technology.
