This holiday season, the AI glasses are receiving a significant upgrade with the rollout of the v21 software update, enhancing their functionality. Key features include Conversation Focus, which amplifies voices in noisy environments, making it easier to hear conversations in places like busy restaurants or public transport. This feature is now available for users in the Early Access Program for Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN in the US and Canada, allowing users to adjust amplification levels via the glasses or device settings.
Additionally, a new collaboration with Spotify introduces a multimodal AI music experience. Users can prompt the glasses to play a song that matches their current view by saying, “Hey Meta, play a song to match this view.” This feature combines computer vision with Spotify's personalization to create tailored playlists. Currently, this service is available in English across several countries, including the US, UK, and Canada.
