I Tried Out Meta’s More Affordable Quest 3S and New Ray-Ban AI Features – Video

Meta has received a brand new $300 Quest three S headset and updates are coming to meta’s ray bands. What does all of it imply? So meta is all the time seeking to the longer term A RVRA I on the Meta Connect convention right here in California and Menlo Park. I’m getting a style of all of it, however the updates coming to current merchandise are fairly incremental. There is the Quest Three that got here out final 12 months. The Quest Three S which is popping out. October fifteenth is mostly a extra inexpensive replace to the Quest Two that is been round for years and simply received discontinued at $300. It is clearly a extremely inexpensive VR gaming headset. The distinction this time is it is received combined actuality shade move by means of cameras very similar to the Quest Three additionally has the identical chip set because the Quest three. So it is received higher graphics and higher processing pace, however what it lacks, it does not have the identical good excessive res show and it is utilizing older lenses, not the actually clear pancake lenses. Yes, I may see a distinction between the 2 nonetheless. It looks like a very nice price range headset. But the thought is that video games like Batman Arkham Shadows, which is popping out are going to have the ability to run on this new headset and will not be operating on older headsets. Same factor with combined actuality experiences. The Ray Bands are going to be getting just a few incremental updates. One of them is that they will scan QR codes now with the cameras and convey up stuff in your cellphone, they will reside translate languages, which I didn’t get to attempt. And additionally they are going to be doing a little issues with recognizing streams of video and utilizing the A I to interpret it. Also did not get to attempt it, however I did get to attempt voice commanded deeper interactions with music like Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon music the place you may lastly convey up monitor requests me play the Beetle juice theme by Danny Elfman. Beetle juice. Beetle juice, shut sufficient and deeper interactions when it scans an object with the cameras to sort of ask, what am I taking a look at? What else are you able to inform me about it? I nonetheless discovered that kind of recognition, a proof wasn’t excellent however the coolest stuff I noticed might need been from the stuff lurking within the weeds, these different A I demos, one among them uh lets you scan your face with metas digital camera app on its current A I platforms and allowed me to generate imaginary photos of myself doing mainly something. I imply, you are able to do these items on different A I apps as nicely, however simply the flexibility to do that right here and have it look surprisingly good. Like me in a Jet or Mario on Mars or me in a large Pokemon swimsuit on the Pools of Panda on the fourth of July. It was completely absurd. I laughed so much. And the opposite factor was Gaussian splatting. If you think about stepping right into a 3D world and taking a look at somebody’s artwork studio or an workplace or perhaps a theater house sooner or later, use a number of pictures to knit collectively a 3d scene which is then streamed from the cloud to view in your VR headset. They had been actually crisp and good trying. I imply, nonetheless fuzzy if you received up shut, however higher even than a few of these demos I’d seen previously of comparable know-how, however you may’t scan your individual in some unspecified time in the future which may occur. And in some unspecified time in the future, they could put practical 3d avatars into them that’s making an attempt to determine that out. So that is the information for Medic Act on a few of their greatest merchandise, actually extra incremental updates, inexpensive updates and a few little tweaks with the promise of different issues sooner or later that we should have to attend for. Thanks for watching.
