Meta Adds AI Video, Translation to Ray-Ban Smart Glasses in Early Access
Meta Platforms gives Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses AI video and real-time translation. Updates were shown off at Connect and are now available to Early Access Program users.
Meta Platforms announced that it has added AI video and real-time language translation to the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. For the first time, Facebook’s parent company talked about the new features at its September Connect conference. Members of its “Early Access Program” can now get the update.
Meta’s AI chatbot assistant now has video support, which lets the Ray-Ban smart glasses understand what the user is seeing and answer questions in real time. Now, the smart glasses can translate between English, Spanish, French, and Italian in real time.
Meta wrote on a blog that when you talk to someone in one of those three languages, you can read the transcripts on your phone or listen to what they say in English through the glasses’ open-ear speakers.
Shazam-Enabled Smart Glasses Launch in the US and Canada
Shazam, an app that Meta added to the smart glasses, allows users to identify the songs they are listening to. The US and Canada will sell the glasses.
Meta announced in September that it would be adding new AI features to the Ray-Ban smart glasses. These would include tools for setting reminders and the ability to use voice commands to scan QR codes and phone numbers.
