Meta recently announced that its Ray-Ban smart glasses will introduce three new features: Real-Time AI, Real-Time Translation, and Shazam. Currently, the Real-Time AI and Real-Time Translation features are available only to members of Meta’s early access program, while the Shazam feature is open to all users in the United States and Canada. The Real-Time AI and Real-Time Translation capabilities were first previewed earlier this year at the Meta Connect 2024 conference. Real-Time AI allows users to interact with their surroundings while the glasses continuously observe the environment.

In today's wave of technology, conversational artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important part of our lives. However, fast, efficient, and real-time interactions remain a significant challenge. The issue of latency, which refers to the time difference between input and response, often slows down the experience of customer service robots and virtual assistants, affecting user satisfaction. To address this gap, Standard Intelligence Lab has recently launched Hertz-Dev, an open-source audio model with 850 million parameters.

The Seoul Metro Line 4 Myeongdong Station has launched a real-time AI translation service. It supports 13 languages and uses a transparent screen for face-to-face translation. With high user satisfaction, there are plans to expand to five other popular stations. The service combines touch screens, wired, and wireless microphones to enhance convenience.
