Muse AI is coming to Meta glasses
Meta is bringing its Muse AI agent to Ray-Ban smart glasses, letting users activate it by voice to handle tasks like guiding workouts, logging meals, or helping with shopping.
Hearing enhancement gets FDA clearance
Meta's new Hearing Enhancement feature is FDA-cleared software for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss, available later this year for $149 or included with Meta One subscription.
Better vision assistance for blind users
Meta AI will provide more context-rich answers when users ask what they're looking at, helping blind and low-vision users better interpret their surroundings through the glasses.
New audio and photo capture tools
Dolby Atmos Capture records videos with 360-degree spatial audio, while Dynamic Photo automatically captures multiple frames and uses AI to suggest the best one.
Hologram feature for video calls
Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are getting a photorealistic digital face for calls that infers your expression from your voice, rolling out in Early Access on WhatsApp this fall.
Smarter navigation with voice and landmarks
Users can now ask for real-time cycling or transit directions by voice, and walking directions reference detected landmarks like houses or cars instead of just street signs.
The big picture
Meta's glasses are becoming more useful for everyday tasks and more accessible to people with hearing and vision loss.
