Meta Unveils New Wearable for Gesture-Based Computer Control

Meta offers innovative wearable technology such as the Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses, starting at $299, which combine fashion with AI capabilities for hands-free experiences. These smart glasses come in multiple iconic styles like Wayfarer, Skyler, and Headliner, and allow users to capture photos, listen to audio, and interact with Meta AI using voice commands. The Meta Quest series, including the Quest 3S and Quest 3, delivers immersive VR and mixed reality experiences supported by a broad range of apps and games. Meta is also advancing human-computer interaction with surface electromyography (sEMG) wristbands, enabling intuitive gesture recognition and control of AR devices, validated through peer-reviewed research and open-source datasets. Features and availability of these products may vary by region, require compatible devices and accounts, and are subject to change. Optional financing is available for select products, and users should check local regulations and product documentation for safety and functionality guidelines.

Google Launches Opal: No-Code AI Mini-App Creator in Beta

Google has introduced Opal, an experimental AI tool now available in public beta (US-only), designed to simplify creating and sharing AI mini-apps that combine prompts, AI models, and tools using natural language and visual editing. Opal enables users to build multi-step workflows without coding by describing a sequence of steps, which it converts into editable visual workflows. Users can refine and remix their AI apps using conversational commands or a visual editor, then share them for others to use with their Google accounts. Featuring a demo gallery with starter templates, Opal empowers creators and developers to rapidly prototype, demonstrate proof of concepts, and build custom AI applications to enhance productivity—all through an intuitive, no-code platform.
