Ray Ban Meta 22.0 Update Adds Dream Features... Here's Everything

0:00 The Ray Ben 22.0 update just launched. I have with me here the Gen 1's and the Gen 2s. I'm going to explain all the differences between what the updates did for each version of the glasses, what it fixed, what it might have broken, and all of the new crazy features because there's some pretty amazing ones in this update. But first, if you appreciate timely updates like this, all I ask is that you subscribe so you can see more of the content you want to see. So, before we get into the first crazy new gamechanging feature, I want to see if an enormous bug that got introduced with the Gen 1's in the last update finally got fixed. Basically, the bug was if you're in the Meta AI app here, you were in your device settings and you go to media and then you were to change the frame rate to let's say 60 fps 1080, it now says the max video length is now 3 minutes. It won't let me change back. My Raven Metagen ones are glitching out

0:45 right now and they're not letting me switch back to 108030, which is really weird. And it's not letting me change the video length either. Okay. So, if you get glitches like this, just close your app, reopen it. Yeah, it's still broken. This was actually stuck at 108060. So, if you changed it to 60 fps, you could not change it back. And it looks like now it is actually finally fixed. So, I have to put it on low stabilization, 108030. I go back to 108060. It goes back to medium and 108060 again. And I can go back to 108030. This is so nice because before this feature was completely broken. I basically was stuck at 108060 and there was nothing I could do to fix

1:31 it or change any of the settings including the stabilization. The buttons were there. They just didn't work. And it looks like they finally fixed this for the Gen 1's a month and a half later. So that bug fix is really nice. Now let's get into the first major new feature introduced for everyone in this update and that is detailed responses with live AI. So, if you weren't aware, live AI is where the camera turns on and basically provides a video feed of everything you're looking at and you can just conversationally talk with Meta. You can just walk around and at any point just say, "What am I looking at?" or "What color is this water bottle?" or "How do I open photos on my phone?" Things like that. Whatever you can see, it can see too. You don't have to say, "Hey, Meta at all." You can just ask questions conversationally. Now, around 7 8 months ago, they also introduced this feature called detailed responses, as you can see right here at the bottom.

2:16 So, if you turn this on and you ask a look and ask question with detailed responses enabled, you get much more details in your AI responses. So, when you say, "What am I looking at?" Rather than it giving you a sentence, it would maybe give you an entire paragraph describing everything in your surroundings so that you actually know where you are. This is under accessibility settings for a reason because it's really good for the visually impaired, but it's also just cool if you want more detailed AI responses. Now, before this was just for look and mask. This didn't apply to Live AI, but now in Live AI, you're getting all of this. And this feature is getting rolled out to everyone, which is really nice. Let's test it out and see how it works. So, to activate this, you're going to open up Meta AI. Then, you're going to make sure you're on the glasses tab on the bottom right. Tap on your glasses and then scroll all the way to the bottom where you'll see detailed responses at the very bot. Tap on that and then you're just going to turn it

3:02 on. There's also a learn more button here, which I don't believe was previously there. And if you look at that, you'll see even more details about this. You'll hear more about objects, signage, and people. You'll hear more about placement of doorways, people, and objects, as well as quantity of object, and get more details about the environment. You'll hear more about colors, mood, and tone, and more about rooms and outdoor settings. There is a disclosure here saying don't use it as a mobility aid because AI gets things wrong sometimes. So, don't be so dependent on it that something bad ends up happening. So, the disclosure, they have to put it there because if something bad happens, they don't want to get sued. But, it could actually be really helpful. Let's see. So, I'm going to close that. And now, detailed responses is on. So, if I use live AI now, I should get more detailed responses. But first, let me show you what it looks like with that turned off. That way, we have something to compare it to. So, detailed response is off, but I'm still going to use live AI. Start live AI. >> Starting live AI.

3:48 >> What am I looking at? >> You're in a room with a door that has bags hanging on it, a tripod, and a screen that's lit up. There's also some wall decor and lighting fixtures. >> Stop live AI. So, I got about a sentence and a half, two sentences of description there with detailed responses off, but watch what happens when I turn it on. Okay, I turned it on in the settings as you can see. And I'm going to ask the exact same question. >> Starting live AI, what a cozy setup. What's on your mind? >> What am I looking at? >> You're in a room with a door that has bags hanging on it, a tripod in front, a window with light coming through, and some papers on the wall. There's also a coat visible on the left side. >> Okay, so a little bit more detail, but let's just test this out in the rest of the room here. I'm going to look out the window and ask it what I can see out

4:34 there. What am I looking at now? >> You're looking at a cityscape from a high vantage point. Buildings, streets, and a partly cloudy sky. Your phone screen shows a timer reading 0 hours 0 minutes 1 second. >> Is there anything fun I could do in this room right now? >> You could strum the guitar on the bed or check out the beach themed art on the wall. The room feels cozy for relaxing or getting creative. How do I play the guitar? >> To play, hold the guitar against your body. Strum the strings with one hand and press chords with the other. You can find beginner tutorials online or use an app to get started. >> What's an easy beginner chord? >> A good easy one is G major. Just place

5:21 your fingers on the third fret of the low E string, second set of A, and third fret of high E. It's a common starting point. >> Look at that. What should I do today in Honolulu? >> How about checking out Wiki Beach, strolling through Diamond Head, or visiting Pearl Harbor? Want a specific vibe like relaxing or adventurous? >> That's okay. Stop. Live AI. >> Live AI stopped. >> So, as you can see, there is a lot that you can do with this. Really, it's just nice to be able to ask whatever AI questions you want, knowing that it can see exactly what you're looking at at any time, and you don't have to say, "Hey, Meta awkwardly," in public. you can just sort of talk naturally, even though it might look like you're talking to yourself or what more people would assume, which is that you're on a phone call of some sort. Pretty cool. But again, this isn't perfect and it isn't

6:08 accurate 100% of the time. It does give more detail with the detailed responses, but it doesn't seem to be that much more, at least in the test that I've done in this room, but it did get more specific with the placement of items, which is pretty cool, I think. And it helped me play a chord on that guitar, which is also pretty nice. Okay, up next I want to talk about a big difference that is still present to this day even after this update that they haven't addressed or fixed or anything and that is the fact that with the Gen Twos you no longer get live streaming. I tested this and you can still do this on the Gen 1's even after this update but the Gen 2s still to this day do not have the ability to live stream to Instagram or Facebook. Pretty disappointing because it is such a cool feature to have. I don't know why they don't have it on the Gen Twos. It would be really nice you can do the infinite recording hack on them but you can't. So, for now, if you want to do that, you'll have to use the

6:53 Gen 1's and probably get a infinite battery accessory like I had in my last five accessories video. So, you can record basically indefinitely, even if the quality isn't absolutely incredible on it, it's just cool that you can record basically forever. Now, with that being said, and after having tested that, and even asking Meta specifically about it, not getting an answer, which is to be expected. They're a huge company. Let's move on to the next really cool new feature, and this is conversation focus. Now, it says this is available in early access, so a lot more of you guys should be getting it now. I, for some reason, got it in the last update as well. I did a huge stress test where I put computers on all sides of the room, simulating enormous crowds talking while I tried listening to one YouTube video, playing audio from multiple speakers in the middle. I'm going to take this laptop and play different conversation sounds over on the right side of me. Put that at max

7:39 volume. Oh my gosh, I hate this. Okay, I'm just going to play this Colin Samir video in front of me. I don't know if you can tell how horrible this sounds right now, but I can't even hear myself think. Okay, so the mic feeding is not going anymore. I don't even know if you can hear my voice, let alone the voice of Colin talking. >> Let's try this >> about what you make. Well, I am calling human nature. >> Okay, it's pretty hard to listen to this. >> Let me turn on conversation focus by tapping and holding. >> Starting focus on television. >> I'm not exactly sure what you all think of it. So, I'm curious how you define my channel. And then secondly, I think I will do the worst thing right now, which is upload once a month on YouTube. And I have >> it's working and it was good. It definitely amplified the voices. It was

8:24 pretty cool actually, but it made the voices sound pretty robotic. I'm wondering if they've improved it since then since it's been about 2 months. And I want to test it in more of a fair setting. What I was simulating was more like the most crowded loud room you could possibly imagine. So instead, I'm going to go with a bunch of people talking, chatting it up, and see if this helps me focus on one person, hear their responses better, and just be a really nice aid if you might be hearing impaired. This is actually perfect for me to test today because I can't really hear out of my left ear today. Went skydiving yesterday. Maybe that's why. So, I'm going to go out there and test the conversation focus. I'll throw the steps on how to start it from that last video where I demoed all of that stuff. And then I'll show you the actual test from today to see if there's any cool new updates they've added to this. They're disconnected. So, let's test it out. See how it works. So you can hear what matters most. >> Now we can choose our amplification style. So we have three options. We can

9:10 choose standard, boosted, or listen without amplification. So it wants us to listen to each and choose a style you like best. So I'll make it so you guys can hear, too. Let's start standard, which is moderate speech amplification for natural sounding voices best in most environments. So make sure you press the play button on the side to actually test it. >> The warmest days of summer bring bright sunshine and clear skies. >> The warmest days of summer bring bright sunshine and clear skies. So, let's listen without amplification so we can know what that sounds like. >> The warmest days of summer bring bright sunshining. >> So, way less loud. And then you have boosted, which is extra amplification. So, the speech sounds sharper in louder environments. So, if you really need extra help with this, you're going to want boosted. Let's try and see what that sounds like by pressing the play button. >> The warmest days of summer bring bright sunshine and clear skies.

9:55 >> The warmest days of summer bring bright sunshine. >> Okay, we're going to set it to that. Now, here you can assign this to tap and hold. Right now, mine's set to activating Meta AI, but we're going to change it to conversation focus. Press next. And now, if we tap and hold the side, we should be able to do this. Remember to face the person talking and keep a conversational distance about 6 ft apart or less. So, stay close to the person. Don't talk to them from across the room. It's not really going to work that way. And next, it says not for extremely loud environments. Conversation focus is not for use in very loud places like concerts. It's best in social situations like busy restaurants. Next. Okay, now it says setup complete. >> Okay, so should be started now. >> Oh, wow. It's working. even from far away. >> I get it. But like >> say something. >> I'm scared. [laughter] >> You're an alien. >> This is working so well. Say something.

10:41 >> Oh, is this the translation? >> It amplifies the voice of whoever you're talk like looking at. >> I'll blur your face out. >> I'm in my like shell and pajamas. [laughter] >> It's just different. Maybe it's not bad. >> Dang, this is good. >> This is working so well. Conversation focus actually works really, really well in normal scenarios. Like it was amplifying the voice of people way in front of me just because I was looking at them. So, I was able to go out there. It actually really increased how well I could hear people. Like, it feels kind of like a hearing aid in glasses. Honestly, I'm completely shocked. It works so well in normal circumstances.

11:26 It's not just for noisy environments. It just helps you understand people better in general. It's so cool. So, that's my review of the conversation focus. It actually works really, really well. Okay, the third major feature which they've added to both of these, and by the way, all the features that got added in this update were added to both Gen Ones and Gen 2. So, you're not missing out if you have the old one or the new one on anything. Although, that one bug did get fixed on the Gen Ones, which wasn't present on the Gen Twos at all. So, that's cool. At least for this update, the updates are actually going to have been the same, the new features and all that stuff, unlike in some previous updates where you would get different things for different pairs of glasses. The last listed feature that they added to both of these is Dutch language support. So, this is rolling out gradually over the next few days, but now you'll be able to make calls, send messages, and get info using Meta AI all in the Dutch language completely hands-free. So, if you're in the Netherlands, this is really exciting

12:12 news for you. But it does say if you are not seeing this, make sure your Meta AI app is updated to the latest version in the App Store. So, if you're in the App Store or the Play Store, Android or iPhone like me, then you're just going to open the App Store, go to Meta AI, and then actually press this update button, which I haven't even done yet cuz I don't have auto updates turned on. And now, if you did not have the Dutch language, it should be added there, unless they're still rolling it out where you are in the next couple days, but that's pretty exciting stuff as well. Okay, so the last thing that I want to talk about is what's coming. I made a pretty recent video that you can watch if you want about new features that could really positively impact the Meta Glasses, make them do better as they compete with brands like Google and Apple eventually. And those are all features that they actually are pretty likely to add and maybe even are rumored to be adding as we speak. So, I think the next couple months could be pretty

12:58 crazy for updates for these things, but we're just going to have to wait and see. Hope this video helped you out. And if there's anything that I missed, new features that they added that they didn't list that you noticed or any major bugs that got introduced because of this, put them down in the comments so that Meta can fix them. Or if you're missing any of those new features, put that down there, too, so we can know where people are getting certain features or where they may not be yet. If you really like meta glasses and you have the Ray-B band metas, you might want to check out this most recent accessories video. It has some really cool new game-changing accessories in it, but I'll have the one that YouTube recommends to you most on the screen right now. If you like this video, YouTube thinks you might enjoy that one, too. Thank you so much for watching.
