As Meta expands its capabilities with Ray-Ban’s smart glasses, it’s also integrating live translation and AI technology. With Meta’s advanced AI technology, the Meta Good Glasses enable users to see their surroundings without being bound by the wearer’s perspective, thanks to the integrated digital camera; additionally, they facilitate seamless, real-time communication.
With Meta’s cutting-edge technology, users can now enjoy hands-free assistance during various activities such as meal prep, gardening, or exploring a new neighbourhood, among others? Can questions be requested without the necessity to utter the “Hey Meta” wake phrase, and the AI can grasp context between requests for referencing prior inquiries? According to Meta, their AI is now poised to offer “helpful recommendations before you even think to ask.”
With the help of reside AI, we’ve recently introduced a groundbreaking live translation feature that enables seamless real-time conversations between English speakers and those who speak either Spanish, French, or Italian. As someone converses in three distinct languages, advanced technology seamlessly translates their words into English via an integrated audio system or a specialized smartphone app, facilitating effortless communication in both directions.
Currently, the Meta glasses leverage Shazam’s capabilities to identify song information. If you query, “What’s that song?” or a similar inquiry, Shazam will promptly provide the track title and other relevant metadata. Since Apple acquired Shazam in 2018, the music recognition app has become deeply integrated into its iOS ecosystem.
The experience is available to all Meta Quest users. Sign-ups can be accessed on Meta’s website, albeit with limited availability of slots for customers in the United States and Canada.
Rumors abound that Apple is poised to enter the burgeoning smart eyewear market, following the impressive traction garnered by Meta’s innovative specs.
