The holographic augmented reality glasses, for one, needed to be glasses \u2014 not a bulky headset. There are no wires and they have to weigh less than 100 grams (3.5 ounces), among other things. And the beyond interacting with your voice, typing or hand gestures, Orion has a \u201cwrist-based neural interface\u201d \u2014 it lets you send a signal from your brain to the device, using a wristband that translates nerve signals into digital commands.<\/p>\n<p>There is no release date for Orion \u2014 Zuckerberg called it a \u201cglimpse of the future.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Seemingly in his element speaking to a cheering crowd, Zuckerberg said Meta is working to \u201cbring the future to everyone\u201d with its headsets, glasses and AI system. As part of an update to its Llama model, people will now be able to interact with Meta AI by speaking, with voices from celebrities such as John Cena, Judi Dench and Awkwafina. <\/p>\n<div

a future that is more open, more accessible, more natural, and more about human connection,\u201d Zuckerberg said. \u201dThis is the continuation of the values and ideas that we have brought to the apps and technology that we have built over Meta\u2019s first 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An AI update aimed at influencers allows them to craft AI versions of themselves \u2014 for interacting with fans. On the keynote stage, an AI version of creator Don Allen Stevenson III appeared on the screen and answered a few questions just as the actual creator would. When Zuckerberg asked the AI creator about cattle ranching, it responded \u201cmy expertise lies in technology and design, not agriculture.\u201d An earlier version of this tool was text only. <\/p>\n<p>Other AI updates include live translation, which Zuckerberg demonstrated on stage. While wearing the smart glasses, Zuckerberg spoke in English to Mexican mixed martial artist Brandon Moreno replying in Spanish \u2014 the conversation was translated in real time. People can also dub their videos in another language so that it looks like they are speaking natively \u2014 even going so far as changing their lips movements to match. <\/p>\n<p>Meta AI now has 500 million users, the company said. Jeremy Goldman of the research firm Emarketer called the number \u201cjaw-dropping.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeta has transformed from just a social media company into an AI powerhouse. Zuckerberg\u2019s move to celebrity voices is not just for fun \u2014 it\u2019s a direct challenge to OpenAI, with an emphasis on real-world utility,\u201d Goldman said. <\/p>\n<p>Meta, which introduced the Quest 3 last year, also showed off a cheaper version of the VR goggles \u2014 the 3S \u2014 that will cost $299. The regular Quest 3 costs $499. The S3 will start shipping on Oct. 15. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeta is aggressively undercutting <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/apple-vision-pro-headset-virtual-reality-9d84d89f79417aab5738fe6a97cb5b95\">Apple\u2019s Vision Pro<\/a><\/span> to dominate the middle-tier AR\/VR market,\u201d Goldman said. Those VR goggles, which came out earlier this year after much anticipation, cost $3,500. <\/p>\n<p>While VR goggles have grabbed more headlines, the augmented reality Ray Bans turned out to be a sleeper hit for Meta. The company hasn\u2019t disclosed sales numbers, but Zuckerberg said during Meta\u2019s July earnings call that the glasses \u201ccontinue to be a bigger hit sooner than we expected \u2014 thanks in part to AI.\u201d Zuckerberg said on Wednesday that Meta seems to have gotten past the supply issues that plagued the Ray Bans a few months ago due to high demand. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are kind of the perfect form factor for AI,\u201d Zuckerberg said. The glasses, he added, let an AI assistant \u201csee what you see, hear what you hear\u201d and help you go about your day. <\/p>\n<p>For instance, you can ask the glasses to remind you where you parked or to pick up groceries, look at a pile of fruit and come up with a smoothie recipe, or help you pick out a party outfit. <\/p>\n<p>Meta \u2014 which renamed itself from Facebook in 2021, still makes nearly all of its money from advertising. In its most recent quarter, 98% of its more than $39 billion in revenue came from ads. At the same time, the company is investing heavily in AI and what Zuckerberg sees as the next generation of computing platforms such as VR headsets and AR glasses. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cVR headsets, despite Meta\u2019s assertion, will not go mainstream,\u201d said Forrester research director Mike Proulx. \u201cThey\u2019re too cumbersome, and people can only tolerate them in short bursts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glasses, on the other hand \u201cput computing power directly into a common and familiar form factor. As the smart tech behind these glasses matures, they have the potential to disrupt everyday consumers\u2019 interactions with brands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Proulx said the Orion prototype \u201csets the stage for a future where a revolutionary 3D computing platform is within reach and can actually be useful to the everyday consumer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/meta-connect-zuckerberg-quest-ai-orion-dc8228049dea6a00b0f818ddb35f0c31\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MENLO PARK, California (AP) \u2014 Meta unveiled updates to the company\u2019s virtual reality headset and Ray Ban smart glasses on Wednesday as it tries to demonstrate its artificial intelligence prowess &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=107203\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-107203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=107203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107203\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=107203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=107203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=107203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
