Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses will soon identify songs with Shazam
Meta this week announced new features coming to its smart glasses designed in partnership with Ray-Ban. Ray-Ban Meta glasses will soon gain new AI capabilities as well as integration with Apples Shazam to identify songs.As announced by the company, software update v11 for the Ray-Ban Meta adds integration with Shazam, Apples song identification app. Once available, users will be able to simply use their voice to say Hey Meta, what is this song? and the glasses will use Shazam to recognize the song and answer the question.We all know the feeling: Youre out on the town when an absolute banger starts playingbut either its new, obscure, or even an old favorite whose track name or artist just happens to escape you at that particular moment. Now, your glasses can do the heavy lifting for you, Meta said in a blog post.This comes after Meta added Apple Music integration to its Ray-Ban smart glasses earlier this year. With this integration, those who own the glasses can ask Metas virtual assistant to play a song, playlist, album, station, or even artist all hands-free.In addition to Shazam integration, Ray-Ban Meta glasses will also receive some new AI features with the update. One of them is Live AI, which will let users share what theyre seeing with their glasses in real time so that Meta AI can help them with everyday activities. With Live AI, users can ask questions without having to say Hey Meta all the time.In addition, Meta is also bringing Live Translation to its smart glasses. When talking to someone in another language, youll hear what theyve said in your language through the glasses speakers. The feature was teased live earlier this year by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.According to Meta, the v11 software update will begin rolling out starting today to Ray-Ban Meta glasses users. However, the AI features will only be available in beta for those registered in Metas Early Access Program.If you own a Ray-Ban Meta, heres how to upgrade your smart glasses:Open theMeta View appon your phoneTap theSettingsmenuChoose theYour GlassesoptionTapUpdatesMake sure your glasses are nearby, paired to your phone, and recharged before installing an update.Add 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
