Meta Glasses Get Ski-Ready with Garmin
19 Mar
Summary
- Meta smart glasses now track skiing and snowboarding stats via Garmin.
- New features include conversational AI and expanded language translation.
- The update is rolling out now but has specific user requirements.
Meta's smart glasses are now equipped with new snow sports tracking features as part of their v23 update. When connected to a compatible Garmin device, users can monitor skiing and snowboarding performance, including distance traveled, maximum speed, and personal records. These statistics can be overlaid onto automatically captured video clips, creating shareable content.
The update also brings enhancements to Meta AI's translation and conversational functions. Early access users will benefit from new Hindi, Arabic, Russian, Swedish, and Finnish language support. Additionally, Meta AI is becoming more conversational, allowing for continued interaction without repeated wake words, though this feature is currently limited to the US and Canada.
To utilize the snow sports integration, users must pair their Meta glasses with a Garmin watch and have their phone nearby with the Meta AI app installed. A snow sport activity must be initiated on the Garmin device to begin data capture. Users should be aware that colder weather may reduce battery life more rapidly. Some advanced features remain in early access, and the full rollout of all capabilities is dependent on specific user and device requirements.
