Beginning in the United States and Canada, you can utter, “Hey Meta, initiate Live AI,” which allows the Meta AI to “continuously view your surroundings and engage with you in a more natural conversation,” much like Gemini Live but offering hands-free assistance as you go about your activities.
Live AI
released for Early Access
Last December marked its introduction, though it’s labeled as “coming soon” for broad release, indicating that Meta believes it’s prepared for extensive usage. According to Meta, potential applications include seeking assistance with cooking instructions while preparing meals or engaging in detailed discussions about monuments, all without the necessity of prefacing each query with “Hey Meta.”
Live Translation is exiting Early Access, which means all Ray-Ban wearers can engage in cross-linguistic discussions in real-time among English, French, Italian, and Spanish just by saying “Hey Meta, initiate live translation.” This feature will be accessible with the most recent software update.
At present, you have the option to communicate through messages or calls using either Messenger or WhatsApp on your smart glasses. Now, Meta is set to include Instagram with similar functionalities for messaging and both audio/video calls.
In regions outside of North America, numerous European users lack access to essential Meta AI features; this limitation is set to shift soon. According to Meta, starting next week, Europeans will be capable of querying the Meta AI regarding their current observations and receive relevant replies. However, these users still won’t gain entry to the updated Live AI functionalities.
Last week, Meta
rolled out an update
that gave EU users access to music streaming apps like Spotify and Apple Music, as well as new voices designed to be “more natural and lifelike.” Now, Meta will let EU users ask about what music they’re currently listening to — though only if English is your default language.
