Meta explained that “These changes will begin rolling out in the US and Canada in experimental mode next month — and we’ll continue to improve the experience over time.” It further added that the older Meta Quest 2 will also be receiving this AI update. However, the more advanced Meta AI with Vision capabilities will remain exclusive to newer hardware.
It is expected that as part of the Meta Horizon OS, Meta AI will let you go beyond the hands-free experience you’re used to. With the update, soon you’ll be able to get answers to a wide range of questions with real-time information. All thanks to Bing search engine.
Meta explained that the collaboration of Meta AI with Vision will be part of the new update (available in Passthrough to start). The proposed update will allow you to ask questions about your physical surroundings while in-headset. For example, you’re watching YouTube videos of some cooking in mixed reality while getting ready for your day out. With the new update apart from watching video you can also ask Meta AI for advice on how to best dress, simultaneously.
