Meta Company has brought a major update to its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, adding functions such as real-time conversation and language translation based on artificial intelligence, bringing users a smarter and more convenient experience. This update is open to early access users in the United States and Canada. Users need to download the latest firmware v11 to experience these new features. This update marks an important step for Meta in the field of smart glasses, and its powerful AI capabilities are expected to lead the market trend.
Meta Corporation has announced a major update to its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, launching a number of new AI-based features, including real-time conversation and language translation. These new features are now available to early access users in the United States and Canada, and users can download the latest firmware version v11.
The most eye-catching "real-time AI" feature in this update was first unveiled at the Meta Connect developer conference in the fall. This feature allows users to have a continuous conversation with Meta's AI assistant. Users do not need to say "Hey, Meta" to wake up the assistant every time, but can interrupt the AI at any time to ask follow-up questions or change topics. Additionally, users can interrogate their surroundings in real time while wearing the glasses, such as asking them what is nearby.
Meta has become the market leader in the real-time AI video function of smart glasses. This technology allows users to ask Meta's AI for information about an item while viewing it, allowing for instant access to information. With similar technology, Google also plans to launch AR glasses, but has not yet specified the launch time.
In addition to real-time AI video, firmware v11 also introduces a real-time translation function that supports instant translation between English and Spanish, French and Italian. When the user talks to someone who speaks these languages, the glasses translate the speech into English through the open-ear speakers and display the text on the user's paired phone.
In addition, this update also adds Shazam support. Users can just say "Hey Meta, identify this song" and the glasses will try to find the music being played. Although Meta is confident about the new features, it still reminds users that errors may occur in real-time AI and real-time translation. Meta says it will continue to learn and improve to enhance the user experience.
It is worth mentioning that in November last year, Meta launched a major update for Ray-Ban Meta, launching some AI capabilities to users in France, Italy and Spain. According to a recent report by EssilorLuxottica, Ray-Ban Meta is the best-selling eyewear brand in 60% of stores in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Highlight:
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses launch real-time AI video and translation functions, allowing users to talk to the AI assistant at any time.
The new real-time translation function supports instant translation between multiple languages, improving the convenience of user communication.
The glasses also support the Shazam function, which allows users to identify the currently playing music through voice.
This update of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses demonstrates Meta’s strength in the application of artificial intelligence technology, and also indicates that smart glasses will be more intelligent in the future, bringing users a more convenient life experience. I believe that Meta will continue to improve in the future and bring more surprises to users.
