Meta Adds Instagram Story Integration to Its AI Glasses

Have you tried on a pair of Meta’s AI glasses yet?

Designed as part of a growing collection of wearable technology accessories developed by Meta, these glasses are equipped with a camera and present the perfect way for creators to capture a new and authentic viewpoint, to elevate their content.

This latest news, which connects the footage from these glasses directly with social media platform Instagram, means that creators can share stories that are both more immersive and more interactive.

Here’s what the integration means for Instagram creator and users…

How Will Meta Glasses Transform Instagram Story Content?

At present, Instagram stories are heavily restricted in terms of their format and layout – with creators relying on a portrait mode screen and the ability to share footage live to stories or pre-record and post at a later time. 

The integration of Meta glasses means a couple of differences and upgrades. 

1. Users will be able to rotate their device and view a panoramic-style video of the view, as seen through the glasses 
2. Creators will be able to split their screen, presenting the view through the glasses and the viewpoint of their device camera at the same time – for example, filming themselves doing something, as well as sharing their perspective of what they’re doing 

In addition to these new viewpoints and styles of content, creators will have access to new editing tools that allow them to change the playback speed, audio, and framing of any video captured through their Meta glasses.

All of this means that content is likely to become more authentic and much more personalised, as creators embrace the power of different perspectives in their story telling. From attracting new followers to engaging existing communities, increasing likes and garnering new comments, these upgrades to Instagram stories will make the social platform a more interactive place for creators and users alike.

So, what do you think the benefits of wearable tech are – and do you think the content these accessories capture will change the way we use social media?
