Meta, the company led by Mark Zuckerberg, has introduced new AI features and video calling support to its popular Ray-Ban smart glasses in the United States and Canada. This move aims to enhance the user experience by integrating the latest artificial intelligence technology into the wearable device.
According to reports, Meta has been investing heavily in showcasing its AI capabilities in the tech industry. The introduction of AI to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses follows the launch of the new Llama 3 AI model and the integration of Meta AI into its core applications. This strategic move places the Meta Ray-Ban glasses in the league of other innovative products, demonstrating Meta’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI technology.
The new features include multimodal AI support and video calls, allowing users to interact with the smart glasses in various ways beyond voice control. Users can now ask the smart glasses about the things they see and receive valuable information without using their hands. The multimodal capability of Meta AI also enables users to translate items on a menu using voice notes, camera, and Meta AI.
While the Meta AI updates are currently in beta in the US and Canada, the official version will be rolled out after further testing and improvements. The introduction of AI and video calling support to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses signifies Meta’s dedication to enhancing the functionality and user experience of its wearable technology.
