Style them differently and order them anew.
Meta AI is the coolest thing you can do with your new Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and it will soon be available to even more people. This means that more people will be able to use the company's Live Translation feature (available for all Ray-Ban Meta markets) and Live AI (that means you can have an open conversation about the things you see) will soon come to the USA and Canada. And finally, Meta AI will be available for use in the EU with its smart glasses.
Live translation is now available in all parts of the world where Ray-Ban Meta glasses are sold after being in beta. This tool can be useful when traveling abroad or when speaking with someone who speaks another language, as it can offer real-time translations in your desired language with machine learning. Plus, you get to see a transcription on your phone.
Live translation will be available in English, French, Spanish, and Italian. As long as you've downloaded the language pack before, you can use it without needing Wi-Fi or mobile data from your connected phone. Simply say, "Hey Meta, start live translation" to get started.
American and Canadian users can now use Meta's Live AI feature, which lets you ask questions about your surroundings without saying "Hey Meta" every time... Or, you can also interrupt it, which is an option that was previously only available in beta. Live AI allows you to chat with your glasses in natural language about your environment, or to ask it to explain things like missing ingredients for a meal or what wine pairs best with a dish. To start, say "Hey Meta, start live AI."
Meta AI will also be available in all product-supported countries within the European Union. And by next week, EU countries will receive Vision Search, which can answer questions about your surroundings that are triggered by the user, but it can't carry on a natural conversation with any interruption (like Live AI).
On top of this, the glasses' Instagram integration is expanding. Soon, you'll be able to send and receive Instagram DMs, photos, audio calls and video calls on your Ray-Bans. The glasses already have calls and messages through WhatsApp, Messenger, and your phone's messaging app, so they have a pretty good range of communication options at this point. You can kick things off by saying, "Hey Meta, send a message to [your recipient's name] on Instagram."
The company is expanding support to Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Shazam in the product's non-North American regions. You will now be able to ask your glasses questions such as the name of a song or when an album was released.
Although there was no announcement of any major hardware upgrades today (the next revision with a screen is rumored to launch later this year), Meta and Ray-Ban are expanding the line of styles available for the second-gen glasses.
There are new Skyler frame and lens color combinations, including the cat-eye shaped Shiny Chalky Gray with Transitions Sapphire lenses, and the "more timeless" Skyler Shiny Black with G15 Green lenses and Skyler Shiny Black with Clear lenses.
