Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently shared a fun video on Instagram showing how the company's AI glasses can pair with Spotify during a workout. This quick demo showcases the latest updates to Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses. This makes it even more convenient for your daily adventures, especially your fitness routine.
Video shared by Mark Zuckerberg
In a clip shared on his Instagram handle, Mark Zuckerberg is seen in the middle of a boxing session, looking focused and energetic. He said, “Hey, Meta, play a song that fits the mood.” The AI immediately responds with “Play Knockout Song.” And just like that, a high-energy track begins to play in sync with his punches.
These updates will be delivered through v21 software releases that Meta is rolling out in stages. This starts with users of the early access program, who can get in early by joining the waitlist.
Clear conversations are possible even in noisy places
One of the big additions is Conversation Focus, a feature first announced at Meta Connect earlier this year. Now available on Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN models for early users in the US and Canada.
Imagine chatting in a crowded gym, a crowded cafe, or even a noisy train. Open-ear speakers inside the glasses amplify the voice of the person speaking, making it stand out above background sounds. Your audio will be a little louder and clearer, so you can focus on what's important. Easily adjust the level to suit your surrounding noise by swiping the right temple or through your phone's settings.
Spotify Magic: The perfect song for the moment
The star of Zuckerberg's demo is a new partnership with Spotify that brings the first multimodal AI music experience to these glasses. It's easy to do. Just look at a training scene, an album cover, a holiday scene, etc. and say, “Meta, play a song to go with this scene.”
Meta AI uses computer vision to understand what you're watching and works with Spotify's personalization tools to create a playlist just for you.
Currently, this feature works in English in countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and United States.
why is this important
These updates make your glasses more than just stylish tints. They are smart fellows. For boxers, runners, and gym-goers, the Spotify feature provides motivational support with on-demand music. With Conversation Focus, you'll never miss a conversation or call with your team.
