Key Points
• Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses are getting new AI features, including Live AI and Live Translation, with the latest software update v11.
• The update also introduces integration with Apple’s Shazam, allowing users to identify songs using their voice.
• The update will begin rolling out starting today, but AI features will only be available in beta for those registered in Meta’s Early Access Program.
Meta has announced the latest software update for its Ray-Ban smart glasses, designed in partnership with Ray-Ban. Update v11 brings new AI capabilities, including Live AI and Live Translation, as well as integration with Apple’s Shazam.
Live AI is a feature that allows users to share what they’re seeing with their glasses in real-time so that Meta AI can assist them with everyday activities. Users can ask questions without having to say "Hey Meta" all the time. Additionally, Live Translation will enable users to talk to someone in another language and hear their response translated in their native language, all through the glasses’ speakers.
The most exciting new feature, however, is the integration with Shazam. With this integration, users can simply ask "Hey Meta, what is this song?" using their voice, and the glasses will use Shazam to identify the song. This is a convenient addition, especially for those who are out and about but can’t quite remember the name of a song currently playing.
The update comes after Meta added Apple Music integration to its Ray-Ban smart glasses earlier this year. With this integration, users can ask Meta’s virtual assistant to play a song, playlist, album, station, or artist hands-free.
The update will begin rolling out today to Ray-Ban Meta glasses users, but it’s worth noting that AI features will only be available in beta for those registered in Meta’s Early Access Program. If you’re interested in getting your hands on the new features, you can sign up for the Early Access Program.
