Yes, it's true! Meta is reportedly working on AI-powered earphones equipped with cameras, internally dubbed "Camerabuds." These innovative earphones aim to offer features such as real-time object identification and language translation, leveraging the power of AI to enhance user interaction with their environment.
The development of Camerabuds is still in the early stages, with Meta exploring both in-ear and over-the-ear designs. Some of the technical challenges they are addressing include potential overheating issues and ensuring that long hair does not obstruct the camera's view. Additionally, privacy concerns are a significant consideration due to the inclusion of cameras in wearable devices (Neowin) (Notebookcheck) (91Mobiles).
Meta's commitment to integrating AI into daily life is evident in this project, following the success of their Ray-Ban smart glasses, which feature similar AI capabilities. If successfully developed, these earphones could provide a unique augmented reality experience, blending AI seamlessly into everyday activities (Notebookcheck).
