Meta
just
announced
a
slew
of
new
updates
for
its
Ray-Ban
Meta
Smart
Glasses.
CEO
Mark
Zuckerberg
just
dropped
an
Instagram
reel
showing
off
a
new
cat-eye
frame
style
for
the
glasses
and
a
video
calling
feature.
You
can
also
now
connect
the
glasses
with
Apple
Music,
and
last
but
not
least,
the
multimodal
AI
assistant
is
live
for
everyone
in
the
US
and
Canada.
You
can
peep
a
pretty
clear
demo
of
the
video
calling
feature
from
Zuckerberg’s
reel.
In
it,
he
talks
to
Eva
Chen,
who
runs
fashion
at
Instagram,
about
the
new
Skyler
frames
and...
chain
lengths,
of
all
things.
The
existing
Wayfarer
and
Headliner
models
are
also
getting
some
new
colors.
The
Headliner,
which
has
rounder
lenses,
is
also
getting
a
low-bridge
fit
for
folks
who
have
issues
with
glasses
slipping
down
their
face.
As
for
video
calling,
you
can
call
up
friends
or
family
via
both
WhatsApp
and
Messenger.
Meta’s
blog
notes
that
you
might
not
see
this
feature
right
away,
however,
as
it’s
rolling
out
more
gradually.
Another
feature
not
mentioned
in
the
blog
is
Apple
Music
compatibility.
However,
the
feature
appeared
this
morning
in
the
Meta
View
app,
which
pairs
with
the
glasses.
The
instructions
note
that
you’ll
be
able
to
control
Apple
Music
hands-free
to
play
any
song,
playlist,
station,
or
artist.
You
can
also
request
recommendations
based
on
your
listening
history.
Lastly,
Meta
rolled
out
an
early
access
program
for
its
multimodal
AI
back
in
December.
Starting
today,
it’s
rolling
out
to
everyone
who
has
a
pair
of
the
glasses
in
the
US
and
Canada
in
beta.
The
feature
allows
you
to
take
pictures
with
the
glasses
and
have
Meta’s
AI
give
you
more
context.
For
instance,
you’ll
be
able
to
ask
it
to
identify
a
plant
species,
come
up
with
Instagram
captions,
and
translate
a
sign
written
in
a
foreign
language.
