  "account": "Meta is enhancing its smart glasses firmware with practical upgrades to reduce reliance on phone use and improve user experience. The latest version 128 introduces hands-free navigation through voice commands such as \"Hey Meta, navigate to Times Square.\" This feature, previously exclusive to Ray-Ban Display models, is now available on non-display versions in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and select international locations. Additionally, the update offers an optional spatial audio toggle in the companion app, utilizing AI to create a three-dimensional audio environment for music, podcasts, and navigation cues. Meta also expanded language support for its glasses, including Mandarin Chinese, for voice controls, calling, messaging, media playback, and Meta AI interactions. Furthermore, firmware version 128 strengthens anti-tampering measures to prevent unauthorized camera modifications. These enhancements make Meta's smart glasses more convenient and immersive, bringing them closer to being a truly hands-free companion.",
