Meta is introducing two new audio-focused features for its smart glasses, beginning today. The updates, revealed during the company's Connect conference, include Audio Balance, which lets users adjust left and right channel volume independently, and Mono Audio, designed to combine stereo output into a single channel for improved clarity in certain listening scenarios. Both tools are now being rolled out to existing devices.

The company is also broadening access to navigation functions within its Meta AI app. Turn-by-turn pedestrian directions are now available more widely, offering step-by-step guidance for walking routes. Additionally, users can share their real-time location from their smartphone directly to their glasses, aiming to simplify location sharing during outdoor activities.

These changes reflect Meta's ongoing effort to refine the functionality of its wearable technology, focusing on practical adjustments rather than transformative features. The updates arrive amid broader industry interest in augmented reality interfaces, though they represent incremental improvements rather than a fundamental shift in the platform's capabilities.
