VIDEO CALLING
Last week, Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp announced new AI-powered features and upgrades for Meta AI on WhatsApp, aiming to enhance the user experience through AI-powered innovation. It appears that WhatsApp is committed to further elevating the user experience by supporting external devices to place video calls hands-free. Today, Mark Zuckerberg announced via his official WhatsApp channel, an important improvement for WhatsApp users who have the Ray-Ban Meta glasses!
Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Ray-Ban smart glasses can now place video calls through WhatsApp, allowing for an enhanced hands-free communication experience. With this new feature, users can quickly initiate a video call while wearing the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, letting the person on the other end see things from the wearer's perspective. Mark Zuckerberg also announced that they are continuing to bring new multimodal features through Meta AI to more people in the US and Canada, so they can get more information about that they're seeing.
We believe that this new enhancement for the Ray-Ban Meta glasses has an interesting advantage, as it is finally possible to keep hands free during video calls. This can be especially useful in situations where users need their hands free, such as while cooking, assembling furniture, or showing someone a unique location or event without needing to hold a phone or other device. By simply looking at what you're doing, the person on the call can follow along in real-time, providing a more interactive communication experience. We believe that this enhancement is likely to be popular among people with Ray-Ban smart glasses who often engage in activities where holding a device is inconvenient or impractical, enhancing the practicality and versatility of video calls through WhatsApp.
The feature to place video calls on WhatsApp using Ray-Ban glasses is available to some users who install the latest updates of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store and WhatsApp for Android from the Google Play Store, and it's rolling out to more people over the coming weeks.
