Gafas traductoras de MetaTraducción en tiempo real llega a las Ray-Ban Meta en todo el mundo  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoMeta lanzó una función de traducción en tiempo real para sus gafas inteligentes Ray-Ban, una de las apuestas más ambiciosas de la empresa en su camino hacia la integración total entre lo digital y lo cotidiano. Esta tecnología, que hasta hace poco parecía sacada de una película de ciencia ficción, permite que personas que hablen distintos idiomas —como inglés, francés, italiano o español— mantengan conversaciones fluidas sin necesidad de intérpretes ni aplicaciones externas.Basta con ponerse las gafas y activar la función: el sistema detecta el idioma, lo traduce y lo transmite al usuario en tiempo real, directamente al oído. Además, no requiere conexión a internet si se han descargado previamente los paquetes de idioma, lo que resulta ideal para viajeros que cruzan fronteras o exploran zonas sin señal.Como parte de esta misma actualización, Meta ha comenzado a desplegar funciones visuales que reconocen objetos, alimentos y monumentos con solo mirarlos. Esta capacidad transforma las gafas en una especie de guía turística inteligente. Todo este paquete de mejoras llega sin costo adicional para quienes ya son usuarios, lo que refuerza la estrategia de Meta por consolidar un ecosistema tecnológico más atractivo y completo.  Unas gafas de sol que te traducen lo que dice otra persona, sin necesidad de sacar el teléfono. Así es la nueva función de las Ray-Ban Meta, que a partir de ahora están disponibles con traducción instantánea para todos los usuarios, después de un periodo limitado solo en ciertos países. Esta tecnología permite entender y responder en cuatro idiomas principales: inglés, francés, italiano y español.También se anunció que las gafas se lanzarán pronto en México, India y Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Meta AI ahora está disponible en siete nuevos países europeos y permitirá reconocer objetos y lugares con solo mirarlos. ¿Estamos ante el inicio de un nuevo tipo de comunicación global sin barreras  No todo el mundo está feliz con unas gafas que pueden grabar, traducir y reconocer lo que estás viendo  Imagina estar en un mercado de París, sin saber francés, pero con las Ray-Ban Meta puestas. Un vendedor te habla y las gafas traducen sus palabras al instante, directo a tu oído. Tú respondes en español, y tu mensaje aparece en la pantalla del teléfono del vendedor, ya traducido. Esta función de traducción en vivo no necesita conexión a internet si descargas el idioma antes de salir.Además, las gafas capturan fotos, reproducen música y permiten hacer preguntas a Meta AI sobre cualquier cosa que veas. Puedes preguntar qué especie de flor estás mirando o qué plato típico está frente a ti. Con solo decirlo en voz alta, recibes una respuesta natural, sin tener que usar comandos especiales. Esto convierte a las gafas en asistentes personales visuales y auditivos, al estilo de Star Trek, pero en el bolsillo.  El despliegue de estas funciones no fue tan fácil como parece. En Europa, Meta tuvo que enfrentar restricciones legales estrictas sobre privacidad. Las gafas graban audio y video, y aunque tienen una luz que indica cuándo están activas, muchas personas podrían no darse cuenta. Las autoridades europeas exigieron a Meta más garantías sobre el uso de datos recolectados por las gafas. Además, los defensores de derechos digitales advierten que esta tecnología podría ser usada para vigilancia encubierta o reconocimiento facial sin consentimiento.También preocupa la dependencia del ecosistema de Meta: la traducción en vivo está vinculada al uso de su app móvil, lo que refuerza el control de la empresa sobre la experiencia del usuario. Mientras la tecnología avanza, la pregunta sigue abierta: ¿podremos confiar en una IA que está literalmente sobre nuestros ojos?  Pese a las críticas, Meta sigue apostando por estas gafas como su producto estrella en el camino hacia una realidad aumentada completa. Las nuevas funciones no solo se centran en traducir. Ahora también puedes pedirle a Meta AI que te recomiende vinos, que te diga si puedes sustituir la mantequilla por otro ingrediente, o que reconozca monumentos históricos. El despliegue incluye siete nuevos países europeos: Alemania, Austria, Bélgica, Dinamarca, Noruega, Suecia y Finlandia.En América, las gafas llegan pronto a México, un mercado estratégico por su población bilingüe y el turismo. También se amplía el acceso a servicios de música como Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music y Shazam, lo cual convierte las gafas en una especie de DJ personal. Todo esto se suma al uso de WhatsApp, Messenger y ahora Instagram, desde las mismas gafas.  Las gafas Ray-Ban Meta, desarrolladas en alianza con Luxottica, están disponibles desde 299 dólares y ofrecen funciones avanzadas de fotografía y video. Su cámara de 12 megapíxeles graba en resolución 1080p a 60 cuadros por segundo.Tienen micrófonos direccionales, altavoces con sonido direccional que evitan filtraciones molestas y una batería que dura hasta 36 horas con su estuche. Vienen en nuevos modelos como el Skyler Shiny Chalky Gray con lentes Transitions, que se oscurecen al sol y se aclaran en interiores. También es posible añadirles lentes de prescripción. Con apenas 50 gramos de peso, estas gafas se sienten como unas normales, pero con superpoderes digitales. A diferencia de modelos como las Echo Frames de Amazon, las Meta ofrecen traducción sin conexión y un asistente visual integrado.  Las Ray-Ban Meta ahora traducen en tiempo real, reconocen objetos y reproducen música, todo desde tus gafas. Síguelas con atención y escucha más sobre estas tecnologías en el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify: Flash Diario en SpotifyLas gafas Ray-Ban Meta ahora traducen idiomas sin conexión, reconocen objetos y reproducen música. El futuro está en tu cara.BibliografíaZDNet Reuters Meta Newsroom The VergeConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.

Photo by Gerald Hartl on Unsplash Published 18 November 2024 e490 with Michael & Michael — #AI, #AR, #VR, #RR (that's #RealReality) and a whole lot more! Michael and Michael start off the show with a discussion on how O2 is employing AI to waste phone scammers time.  Check out the video in the show notes below for how dAIsy, the AI grandma works.  After a quick discussion on Oasis, an AI generated game, the co-hosts then turn to an interview with professor Greg Benson on the future of coding now that natural language processing (NLP) and large language models can interpret user prompts and generate the code required to fulfill the stated need.  Both Michael and Michael agree that there is high value in understanding the underpinnings of coding even where NLP can be a tremendous accelerator, much in the same way that writing algebraic proofs deepen the understanding of algorithms.   Switching to mixed reality, Michael and Michael touch on the subject of watching movies and TV shows together, prompted by the YouTube feature on Quest.  Michael R expands with another article about the Vision Pro music experience from The Weekend, and shares how intimate the experiences can be when the singer is performing directly for you, up close and personal.  Next up, is a story about “Metaversities” in EU and UK schools that remind the cohosts of the Second Life experiences of a video screen in SL.  This spurs Michael M to share what he learned at a recent UNCSA.edu School of Design and Production lunch.  The ;TLDR is that Gen Z (among others) are craving authentic and real experiences not through a lens or a screen.  Following the trend of *R, Michael calls this Real Reality, and in the context of the global entertainment market, this means live performances, such as the crane dance show in Sentosa, Singapore (see video below).  This reminds Michael R of an interview he saw with Robert D Putnam, focused on the importance of building community and engagement as explained in his book Bowling Alone.  The pair then turns to the Verge and Engadget stories discussing Amazon's codename “Amelia” plans to build upon the Echo Frames platform to create augmented reality experiences that can shave seconds off of Amazon delivery drivers' work.  Wrapping up the episode, Michael R gives a quick overview of Tetris Forever and movie professor and adventurer Indiana Jones' latest gameplay. Would you want to ask dAIsy, the AI grandmother call your telemarketers?  What Real Reality (RR) experiences are you craving?  Have your bots

Episode 86 was our annual review of WWDC, and we were so thrilled and excited as the Geek was back for Apple Watch. Episode 87 brought the CEO of the Miami Lighthouse, Virginia Jaco back to the show along with Jorge Hernandez. Episode 88 was a demo of how to transfer music playlists  from one streaming platform to another. Episode 90 was our demo of the Echo Frames and some big announcements from Aira. Episode 91 was another episode in our Trendsetters series with PodFather Rodney Edgar.   Episode 92 was our yearly recap of the NFB's resolutions. Episode 93 brought friend of the podcast, member of The All Blind Football League, and designer of our website www.blindtechshow.com, David Goldstein to the show.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show product unveiling, as Brian could not wait to get in to the That Real Blind Tech show lair to discuss his new Echo Frames with you.   Brian walks you through the design of the glasses, what the buttons on the glasses do, and how the touch pad works. He talks about the differences between the Bose Frames and Echo Frames so you can make a good decision about which pair of Smart Glasses may be right for you.   Jeanine Stanley then pops in from Aira and That Real Blind Tech show. Jeanine is here to share some very exciting announcements coming out of Aira over the next few days and at this year's NFB and ACB Conferences.   To get in on the Aira Desktop beta please visit Aira here.   Aira is at this year's NFB and ACB Conferences so you can learn more about everything going on at Aira at the conferences or just listen to this entire episode for the other very exciting announcements coming out from Aira.   Then it's a brief What's Pissing Off Brian Now.     To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.      

It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show with the gang in their separate lairs. And we start talking about how someone wants to copy That Real Blind Tech show and build their own lair.   China claims it has discovered aliens, but then quickly deletes the report. How did a man in Japan lose his entire town's digital information?   The A Lady may soon be able to mimic the voice of a deceased relative. Creepy or cool? Instagram is testing out a new tool that will be able to tell your age by scanning your face. Again, creepy or cool?   It has been awhile since the three of us recorded last, and one of us, has a new M1 Mac Book Pro. Who will never guess who, and you will not want to miss the story behind the purchase, as it was not bought at your every day retailer. Brian then tells his adventure with his Air Pod Pros and what he learned at the Apple Store that you may be able to try and do if your Air Pod Pros are making funky noises. Rumors be running wild that the Air Pod Pro 2's could have heart monitoring and work as hearing aids.   Allison is the brave one as she is running both the iOS and Mac betas. Even though the betas are in the very early stages we figured we would find out what she likes so far besides the Eloquence voices. This some how leads to a debate about the Singaporean English voice and what the heck language do people speak in Singapore if there is no language called Singaporean?   The fun continues with a little more smack talk with the guys and gal over at Blind Guy Talks Tech.   In iOS 16, you will now be able to mark junk text messages as spam. Personalized Spatial Audio is coming to Air Pod Pros, but we have no clue what this means or actually will be, but Apple claims it is a thing. Here's a list of what features will not be coming to Intel Macs and what features may not be ready when OS Ventura is released in the fall.   Prime Day 2022 will be July 12 and 13, but the sales have already begun, and Brian and Allison already jumped on the massive sale for the Echo Frames.   CNN was baffled that there are PodFasters out there. Obviously the crack writers at CNN have never ever met a blind person.   And for the inner hippy in all of us, we found this article about soundscapes from all over the world that you can listen to to chill out.   And it's more of What's Pissing Off Brian Now and Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading!     To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.

In this episode I review Amazon's new wearable smart speaker, Echo Frames. See the unboxing on the YouTube channel. http://RunningAFEVER.com/260  

Amazon's Day 1 Edition program pulled back the curtain ever-so-slightly on the company's hardware development process. The initial class featured its Echo Frames smart glasses and Loop smart ring. Based on early user feedback, the company only opted to continue production on the former. But it takes the idea even further. The program is akin […]

Amazon's annual fall hardware event unveils its latest collection of smart products. In 2019, the newest Echo smart speakers along with Echo Buds, Echo Frames, Echo Loop, Alexa Smart Oven, and more made their first appearances to the public, inching toward an integrated Alexa-enabled ecosystem. Last week's annual hardware event advanced this vision even further. The arrival of revamped smart speakers, smart security appliances for the home and car, a cloud gaming program, and assistants customized for children and the elderly is a progression in the company's “ambient home” strategy, also supported by Project Connected Home over IP and its Interoperability Initiative. But as updated features and new security products are introduced, many remain concerned over just how far Amazon is willing to go to be ingrained in our lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rainagency/message
