The tech world advances further with the latest updates from Meta. The company's AI-supported Ray-Ban smart glasses are equipped with new features designed to overcome language barriers and simplify daily life.
Meta's smart glasses now enable instant speech translation between English, Spanish, French, and Italian. Users can hear conversations around them through the glasses' open speakers or read them as text on their phone screens. This innovative feature marks a revolutionary step for travelers and those looking to communicate in different languages. The company aims to use this technology to bring people closer together.
Shazam Integration
Among the recent updates to the Ray-Ban smart glasses is the integration of Shazam. To find out what song is playing nearby, all you need to say is, "Hey Meta, what is this song?" Additionally, the glasses' other feature, an AI-powered live assistant, analyzes objects around the user and provides suggestions such as recipe ideas, gardening tips, or recommendations for nearby events.
Only in the USA and Canada?
Unfortunately, some of these features are currently only available to members of Meta’s Early Access Program and in the USA and Canada. However, it appears Meta will soon expand this technology to the global market.
Competition Heats Up
Meta's move into smart glasses is just the beginning. Giants like Google, Samsung, and Apple are also preparing to compete in the smart glasses market with similar projects. Google's new operating system powered by Gemini AI or Apple's upcoming smart glasses could challenge Meta's leadership. But for now, Ray-Ban smart glasses continue to be the standout contender in this race.
