Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Receive Camera and Audio Upgrades with Version 2.0 Update
Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses users can now enjoy enhanced camera capabilities and improved audio quality with the latest software update, Version 2.0. The update promises better image-quality and audio quality-of-life improvements, making the smart glasses even more appealing.
One of the major improvements in the camera department is the low-light performance upgrades. Users can expect reduced noise and sharper images with enhanced auto exposure. Additionally, videos captured with the smart glasses will exhibit a wider dynamic range and increased sharpness. These improvements are aimed at enhancing the overall visual experience for users.
Meta, the company behind Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, is also introducing an audio master control feature in the Version 2.0 update. This feature enables users to adjust the volume of sounds directly from the glasses. By simply swiping up and down on the touchpad located near the temple, users can control the volume of music, voice commands, and other sounds coming from their smart glasses.
Furthermore, the update also brings security and stability improvements, though specific details have not been disclosed by Meta. These advancements aim to ensure a more secure and stable user experience with the smart glasses.
To install the Version 2.0 update, users need to allocate a few minutes for the installation process. If auto-updates are disabled, users can manually initiate the update by following these steps:
1. Open the Meta View app on your phone.
2. Tap on the picture of your glasses in the top-left corner.
3. Select ‘Glass & privacy’ from the menu.
4. Choose ‘Your glasses’.
5. Tap on ‘Updates’.
6. Finally, select ‘Install update’ if the Version 2.0 update is available for your device.
If the update is not immediately available, users need not worry as it may take some time for updates to roll out to all devices. Enabling auto-updates eliminates the need for manual checks.
It’s important to ensure that the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are turned on and connected to your phone via Bluetooth to successfully install the Version 2.0 software.
While the Version 2.0 update delivers camera and audio enhancements, it unfortunately does not include the long-awaited worldwide release of the Look and Ask AI recognition tools, which are currently limited to the US-exclusive beta version. These AI tools utilize the glasses’ camera to respond to user queries, similar to Google Lens and ChatGPT. Users can ask questions related to recipe ingredients, plant care, or even language translation.
Overall, the software updates provided by Meta have improved the Ray-Ban Smart Glasses. However, the absence of the Look and Ask AI tools for users outside the US may leave some feeling that the glasses are not yet complete. Hopes remain high for these features to be included in a future update, potentially Version 3.0, and for their availability to extend beyond the US market.
