Meta Revolutionizes Smart Glasses with Real-Time AI Video and Live Translation

Meta has announced a significant update to its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, introducing real-time AI video and live translation capabilities. This innovative upgrade enables wearers to engage in ongoing conversations with Meta’s AI assistant, Meta AI, and translate languages in real-time.

The Power of Live AI

The latest firmware update, v11, brings “live AI” to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. This feature allows wearers to have continuous conversations with Meta AI, referencing previous discussions and asking follow-up questions without needing to use the “Hey, Meta” wakeword. Live AI also supports real-time video, enabling wearers to ask questions about their surroundings and receive instant answers.

Real-Time AI Video: A Game-Changer for Smart Glasses

Meta’s real-time AI video technology is a significant breakthrough in the field of smart glasses. This innovation allows Meta’s AI to answer questions about the wearer’s surroundings, providing a more immersive and interactive experience. With this update, Meta becomes one of the first tech giants to market with real-time AI video on smart glasses.

Live Translation: Breaking Language Barriers

Firmware v11 also introduces live translation, enabling Ray-Ban Meta wearers to translate real-time speech between English and Spanish, French, or Italian. This feature allows wearers to communicate more effectively with people who speak different languages, breaking down language barriers and enhancing global communication.

Additional Features and Enhancements

The latest update also brings Shazam support to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. Wearers can now say, “Hey, Meta, Shazam this song” to identify the song playing in their surroundings.

Meta’s Commitment to Innovation and Improvement

While Meta acknowledges that the new features may not always work perfectly, the company is committed to continually learning and improving the experience for all users.

The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses continue to be a top-selling brand, with EssilorLuxottica reporting that they are the top-selling glasses brand in 60% of all Ray-Ban stores across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
