Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses just got smarter with two new AI features: Live AI and Live Translation. These updates are part of the v11 software rollout, which started on Monday for users in Meta's Early Access Programme in Canada and the United States.

Live AI: See and Understand the World in Real Time

With Live AI, the smart glasses can use their cameras to see and process what’s around you in real time. The AI answers questions about your surroundings, making conversations with it feel natural and smooth. This feature works similarly to OpenAI's Vision feature in ChatGPT, helping the AI respond based on what it “sees.”
Here’s what makes it impressive:

• You can talk to Meta AI without saying "Hey Meta" first.
• You can ask follow-up questions or reference earlier parts of the conversation.
• You can switch topics easily and go back to previous ones.

Meta says the AI will soon start offering suggestions even before you ask, making it even more helpful.

Live Translation: Real-Time Speech Translation

Live Translation makes talking to people who speak Spanish, French, or Italian easier. Here’s how it works:

• The AI translates speech into your language in real time.
• The translated audio plays through the smart glasses' open-ear speakers.
• You can also see a transcription of the translation on your smartphone.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg demonstrated this exciting feature during Connect 2024, showing how it bridges language barriers seamlessly.

What to Expect Next

Meta admits these new features might not always be perfect, but they’re working on improvements based on user feedback. Right now, Live AI and Live Translation are only available to select users in Canada and the US. There’s no word yet on when they’ll roll out globally, including in India.

A Glimpse Into the Future of Smart Glasses

These updates take Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to a new level, turning them into more than just stylish wearables. With real-time video understanding and instant translation, the glasses are becoming smart companions that can assist you in everyday situations.
As Meta continues to fine-tune these features, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are shaping up to be the perfect mix of fashion and futuristic AI technology.

That's cool
