In the month of August, the prototype of the artificial intelligence assistant will be made available for use with Quest headsets.
For quite some time, the artificial intelligence-powered assistant that Meta provides has been available on the Ray-Ban smart glasses; however, the company will not begin implementing it on its Quest headsets until the following month. The assistant, on the other hand, will continue to operate in an experimental mode, and its availability will be restricted to customers in the United States of America and Canada. In conjunction with the statements that it made regarding the Llama 3.1 and the new capabilities of Meta AI, Meta has recently disclosed the upgrade.
For users who are granted access to the assistant in the month of August, they will have the opportunity to test out its hands-free controls. According to the firm, Meta AI is going to replace the technology that is currently being used for Voice Commands on Quest. This means that it will be the one to operate the headset whenever people use their voice for navigation, and it will also be the one to answer their queries if they contact the company for information. For example, they may ask the assistant for ideas on restaurants to eat at on an upcoming trip. They could also ask it for information on the weather forecast for certain days, as well as suggestions on how to dress appropriately for the weather.
In addition to this, they will have the ability to make use of the “Meta AI with Vision” feature, which will enable them to inquire about the information that they are seeing from the assistant while they are utilizing Passthrough on the Quest. With Passthrough, users are able to view their surroundings through a video feed while simultaneously watching content or engaging in other activities on their headsets. For example, a user might ask the assistant to look at what is in the refrigerator and recommend what they could cook, or they can ask for advice on what kind of top would match with a skirt that they are holding up, all while watching a video on YouTube.
