Meta’s artificial intelligence assistant is now available in Spain and other European countries to interact with it on Ray-Ban Meta glasses to obtain information on general questions.
The second generation of Ray-Ban Meta glasses – then Ray-Ban Stories – were announced in late 2023, which improve the camera and audio playback thanks to Qualcomm’s AR1 Gen1 chip. They also arrive with the integration of Meta AI.
The assistant supports interaction with the device using voice, hands-free, and has acquired new multimodal capabilities in recent months, such as recognizing places and landmarks to offer information about them.
Its arrival in Europe has been delayed due to the privacy and security requirements of community legislation, but as of this Monday, it is possible to control smart glasses with the help of Meta AI in Spain, France, Italy and Ireland, as reported by the company in a statement shared on its official blog.
Users in these four countries who have the glasses can ask general questions to the Meta assistant, but at the moment they cannot ask about what they are seeing, a capability currently only available in the United States, Australia and Canada.
Meta has assured that it plans to implement Meta AI “soon” in Ray-Ban glasses in more European countries.
