Hello Everyone, I was just reading this article, and thought some of you might be interested in this.
Kindly, Janet. From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of David Goldfield via groups.io Sent: Monday, December 16, 2024 4:46 PM To: tv <[email protected]> Subject: [Tech-VI] Meta's Ray-Bans Can Now Do Real-Time Live AI And Translation CNET - Monday, December 16, 2024 at 1:15 PM Meta's Ray-Bans Can Now Do Real-Time Live AI And Translation [https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/cbe55cf0fb014cac80cb41df3d4a16d14a812040/hub/2024/05/03/a634465e-bad1-485c-831d-3d73d61805e7/meta-ray-ban-5.jpg?auto=webp&fit=crop&height=675&width=1200] Meta's camera-equipped Ray-Bans<https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/meta-ray-bans-6-months-later-the-best-ai-companion-happens-to-be-camera-glasses/> have had a lot of AI features onboard already, but they're getting two more big ones. Always-on continuous AI assistance is arriving onto the glasses starting today for owners who have early access<https://www.meta.com/help/smart-glasses/articles/voice-controls/early-access-program-ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses/> to Meta's features, as well as onboard translation. Both these features were demoed by Mark Zuckerberg at Meta's Connect developer conference earlier this year<https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/meta-ray-bans-are-getting-ai-improvements-and-i-got-to-test-them-out/>. The features involve continuous audio and camera recording as opposed to specific individual prompts, allowing the Ray-Bans to be used for an extended period of time with the AI features turned on. Saying "Meta, start Live AI" begins the always-on feature. The glasses' LED light stays on when always-on live AI is activated, and Meta keeps a recording of the conversation that can be referred to throughout the AI session. For translation, it should work automatically while talking, with the translation coming in via the glasses with a slight delay. The live AI assistance is similar to what Google just demonstrated<https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/i-tried-google-and-samsungs-next-gen-android-xr-headsets-and-glasses-and-the-killer-app-is-ai/> on its own prototype glasses this month via Gemini and Android XR, arriving next year. The always-on AI takes a hit on battery life: expect 30 minutes of use before needing a recharge, according to Meta. But this type of always-on camera-assisted AI is exactly what more tech companies are going to be exploring in the next year. I'll follow up with impressions when I get a chance to test it for myself. https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/metas-ray-bans-can-now-do-real-time-live-ai-and-translation/#ftag=CAD590a51e David Goldfield, Blindness Assistive Technology Specialist If you need help using your assistive technology learn about my training services by visiting WWW.ScreenReaderTraining.com<http://www.screenreadertraining.com/> Am Yisrael Chai The Nation of Israel Lives!
