Meta
is
bringing
reminders
to
its
Ray-Ban
smart
glasses,
a
feature
it
previewed
during
its
Connect
event
last
month.
With
the
update,
you
can
ask
Meta
AI
to
remember
your
surroundings,
like
where
you
parked,
and
even
time
up
reminders
to
make
a
phone
call.
The
other
features
coming
with
the
update
include
the
ability
to
send
and
record
voice
messages
on
WhatsApp
or
Messenger
without
taking
out
your
phone.
You
can
now
ask
Meta
AI
to
scan
QR
codes
or
call
phone
numbers
that
you
come
across,
too.
Meta
is
also
updating
how
you
invoke
Meta
AI
while
wearing
the
smart
glasses.
Instead
of
saying
“Hey
Meta”
before
each
question,
you
now
only
need
to
say
“Hey
Meta”
for
your
first
question
and
then
ask
any
additional
questions
without
the
prompt.
You
also
no
longer
have
to
tell
Meta
AI
to
“look
and”
when
you’re
asking
about
something
you
see.
Meta’s
AI
assistant
is
currently
only
available
in
the
US
and
Canada.
You
can
access
the
new
features
by
updating
the
Meta
View
app
on
iOS
and
Android
to
version
186,
which
started
rolling
out
on
Wednesday.
Along
with
this
update,
Meta
revealed
that
its
limited
edition
translucent
Ray-Bans
have
already
sold
out
online
(but
some
may
still
be
available
in
stores).
It’s
been
almost
one
year
since
the
launch
of
the
$299
Ray-Ban
Meta
glasses,
and
they’ve
shown
a
lot
of
promise,
especially
when
Meta
rolled
out
the
ability
to
process
images,
text,
and
audio
earlier
this
year.
In
future
updates,
Meta
will
launch
the
ability
for
its
smart
glasses
to
translate
speech
in
real
time,
starting
with
English,
French,
Italian,
and
Spanish.
It’s
not
clear
if
Meta
plans
to
address
the
possibility
of
bad
actors
using
the
smart
glasses
as
a
way
to
dox
people’s
identities,
which
is
an
issue
two
college
students
recently
called
attention
to.
