Introducing Meta AI on Meta Quest - Your intelligent MR assistant

Last year, during Meta Connect, the company unveiled Meta AI, the advanced intelligent assistant based on Meta Llama technology. Initially integrated into the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, these glasses have become even smarter with the addition of Meta AI with Vision. This update allows users to perform tasks such as text translation and receiving fashion advice, all while keeping their hands free. This summer, Meta Quest will also be equipped with Meta AI.

Enhancing Your Experience with Meta Horizon OS

Meta AI, which is part of Meta Horizon OS, will provide real-time answers to a wide range of questions using Bing. The update includes Meta AI with Vision, initially available in Passthrough mode, allowing users to ask questions about their environment while wearing the headset. This feature will begin rolling out in the United States and Canada next month in experimental mode, with improvements planned over time.

• For Europe and France, there is no announced date yet, but it should arrive in the coming months.

Practical Applications of Meta AI

Imagine watching YouTube videos about hiking in mixed reality while planning your trip to Joshua Tree. You can ask Meta AI to advise you on how to dress based on the weather or to recommend local restaurants. Or, while listening to music and working on a school assignment, you can ask Meta AI to provide you with quotes from Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" and explain their meaning.

Even during games like Assassin's Creed® Nexus VR, Meta AI can provide historical information, such as the existence of assassins in colonial Boston. This seamless integration of Meta AI into various activities demonstrates its versatility and usefulness.

Pioneering AI and the Metaverse

More than a decade ago, the company identified AI and the metaverse as foundational technologies for the future of computing. Investments in these areas have led to breakthroughs such as standalone virtual reality and advanced mixed reality devices. Generative AI has accelerated the vision of human-centered computing, enabling powerful virtual assistants like Meta AI to be integrated into wearable devices.

An Expanding Ecosystem

Millions of users have already experienced Meta AI on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, the web, and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. With the arrival of Meta AI on Quest 3, we look forward to seeing how users will leverage its capabilities in the headset.

Meta AI on Meta Quest represents a significant step towards a more integrated and intelligent mixed reality experience, seamlessly blending the physical and digital worlds to enhance productivity and entertainment.
