FULL STORY ======================================================================The Ray-Ban Meta glasses just got new Live AI in Early Access Shazam music recognition is here too All new features are only available in the US and Canada

Meta is rounding out the year with a major update to its Ray-Ban smart
glasses with two Live features it teased at Meta Connect 2024 . Its also adding Shazam integration to help you find the names of tunes you hear while wearing your specs.

The only downside of the awesome-sounding Live features are that theyre in early access, so expect them to be less reliable than your typical AI tools. They'll also only be available to Early Access Program members in the US and Canada. You can enroll at Metas official site .

But if you are in the Early Access Program you can now try Live AI and Live Translation.

Live AI is like a video version of Look and Ask. Instead of taking a quick snap, your glasses will continually record your view so you can converse with it with about what you can see or other topics. Whats more, while in a Live AI session you wont need to say Hey Meta over and over again.

Meta adds that Eventually live AI will, at the right moment, give useful suggestions even before you ask. So be prepared for the AI to butt in with ideas without you prompting it directly. The babelfish gets closer Shazam is coming to your Ray-Ban specs (Image credit: Shazam)

Live Translation is another real-time AI tool. This time it allows the AI to automatically translate between English and either Spanish, French, or Italian.

When youre speaking to someone who is using one of those three languages you'll hear what they say in English through the glasses open-ear speakers,
or see it as a transcript on your phone and they'll be able to hear or read
a translation of what youre saying in their language.

Thankfully, the update isn't all about just early access features.

If youre out at an end-of-year party and like the sound of a tune you can
also ask your glasses Hey Meta, Shazam this song, and it will tell you what song is playing via the Shazam music recognition tool.

Unfortunately, while this feature is available more widely it is once again only available in the US and Canada so folks in the UK and beyond wont have access to it yet. You might also like Quest 3 YouTube app update finally adds an essential VR social feature Meta Orion: if this is a prototype the
