Meta AI comes to Ray-Ban Meta glasses in seven new countries ...
Meta has announced that its AI system, Meta AI, is now available on Ray-Ban Meta glasses in seven new countries. Starting this week, people in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland can use their voice to get questions answered by Meta AI. This new feature brings convenience as users can now access AI without having to reach for their phone.
While these glasses may not be as advanced as a Star Trek universal translator, they offer impressive capabilities with Meta AI integration. Users in the mentioned countries also have access to the live translation feature, supporting French, Italian, Spanish, and English languages.
Live Translation Feature
To activate or deactivate the live translation feature, users can simply say “Hey Meta, start live translation” or “Hey Meta, stop live translation”. The Meta Help pages indicate that users will need to utilize the Meta View app to adjust the languages for translation.
Real-Time Responses and Expansion
In addition to live translations, Meta is introducing real-time responses for users in all supported EU countries. This feature allows users to ask Meta AI about objects directly in their view and receive immediate responses. Previously, Ray-Ban Meta glasses with Meta AI were available in France, Italy, Ireland, and Spain without this capability, which was already present in the US, Australia, and Canada.
The European Union market is seen as a natural fit for Ray-Ban glasses due to higher income levels, though stringent regulations in the EU can pose challenges for product launches. Despite this, Meta has worked to comply with these regulations and plans to expand to other parts of the EU in the future.
