Meet Florian Metze, one of the leading minds behind live translation for AI glasses like Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta Vanguard, Oakley Meta HSTN and Meta Ray-Ban Display. Over more than 20 years in voice AI, Florian has seen the field transform from rigid, rule-based systems to conversational AI that runs directly on wearable devices. Advances in LLMs and natural language processing have flipped the problem set, shifting the focus from making systems work to designing experiences that feel natural, contextual and useful in the real world. Today, Florian helps define what on-device AI looks like under real-world constraints like battery life, latency and context — challenges that are reshaping how people interact with AI every day. Read his story to learn what a decades-long career in AI has taught him, and why leaving room for curiosity and career detours still matters. #LifeAtMeta #MetaCareers #Wearables #AI #CareerGrowth
