Meta Explores AI-assisted Earphones with Cameras
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, is exploring the creation of earphones powered by AI with built-in cameras. The project, known as "Camerabuds," aims to enable object identification and real-time translation of foreign languages. Meta recently unveiled the next generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses, which also incorporate AI technology.
According to sources familiar with the matter, as reported by The Information, Meta is among several companies, ranging from startups to conglomerates, that are venturing into the creation of AI-based wearable devices to meet the growing demand in this sector.
The project, internally known as "Camerabuds," aims to create earbuds that can not only capture audio but also utilise AI capabilities to identify objects and provide real-time translation of foreign languages. This innovative approach could revolutionise the way we interact with our surroundings and bridge language barriers.
This move comes after Meta's recent announcement of the next generation of Ray-Ban smart glasses, priced at $299, which integrate AI technology. These smart glasses have the ability to provide users with information about the objects they are looking at, enhancing their overall experience.
