The tech giant seeks to gain lost ground in the AI race with a host of promising new bot lineups.
The second-generation Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses add the ability for users to stream what they are seeing in real time.
“Advances in AI allow us to create different and personas that help us accomplish different things,” Zuckerberg said as he kicked off the gathering. The second-generation Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses made in a partnership with EssilorLuxottica will have a starting price of US$299 when they hit the market on October 17.
Meta also introduced 28 AI characters that people can message on WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram with “personalities” based on celebrities including Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton and YouTube star MrBeast. Meta has taken a much more cautious approach than its rivals Microsoft, OpenAI and Google to push out AI products, prioritising small steps and making its in-house models available to developers and researchers.Meta also unveiled the latest version of its Quest virtual reality headset with richer graphics, improved audio and the ability for a wearer to see what is around them without taking the gear off, a demonstration for AFP showed.
This is substantially cheaper than Apple’s Vision Pro, which will cost a hefty US$3,499 when it is available early next year, in the United States only.
