Accessibility Feature Request: Conversation Focus Mode for Ray-Ban Meta Display Glasses
Hi everyone! I’m a Ray-Ban Meta display glasses user who is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids daily. I’d love to see a conversation focus mode added that prioritizes voices directly in front of the wearer and reduces background noise. In busy environments, this would make a big difference for hearing-aid users and others who rely on clearer speech in real time. If this type of accessibility feature is ever developed, I would absolutely love the ability to have it added to my glasses and would be happy to provide feedback or participate in any beta or user-testing opportunities. I’ve also submitted this through support channels, but wanted to share here in case the team is gathering feedback.
Issue with Meta Interaction SDK v74 on Oculus-5.5-v74 Unreal Engine Fork
Issue Description I downloaded the Meta Interaction SDK (version 74) and integrated it into the Unreal Engine fork oculus-5.5-v74 from GitHub. The integration works correctly inside the Editor, and VR Preview runs without any issues. However, when I package the project for Quest and install the APK on the headset, the application: launches, shows a black screen for less than a second, then immediately crashes/auto-closes. When I disable the Meta Interaction SDK plugin and rebuild the project, the packaged application works normally on the device. This confirms that the crash is directly caused by the Interaction SDK during runtime on the Quest. What I Have Already Verified The plugin is properly added under /Plugins/runtime/OculusInteraction. Engine fork version matches the Meta SDK version (both v74). No conflicts in Editor logs. No errors during packaging. The crash happens only on device startup, not in VR Preview. Expected Behavior The packaged app should run the same way it does inside VR Preview. The Interaction SDK should not crash the application on Quest when the correct version is used. Request Could you please advise on: Whether Meta Interaction SDK v74 is fully compatible with the fork oculus-5.5-v74-openxr-asw-ffr. Any additional setup required to ensure correct initialization on Quest (permissions, XR loader, manifest changes, MetaXR modules, etc.). Whether this is a known issue for v74 of the SDK. If this fork requires a specific Interaction SDK variant different from the public one.
Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System" for Messenger
To: Meta Product Team (Messenger Platform & User Experience) From: Kenjie Lantape Agbu Date: October 14, 2025 Subject: Feature Suggestion: Implementing a "Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System" for Messenger Dear Meta Product Team, I am writing to propose a new feature that I believe will significantly benefit millions of Messenger users, especially small businesses and individuals who utilize their personal accounts for commercial purposes. My proposal is to develop a "Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System." This idea aims to upgrade the current "Instant Reply" and "Away Message" functionalities by focusing on two key aspects: Transparency and Intelligent Customization. A. Component 1: Transparency Disclaimer (Building Trust) The Current Problem: When an auto-reply is active, the recipient often cannot tell if the response is from a person or a bot. This leads to confusion, frustration, the common "seen-but-no-reply" annoyance, and a breakdown of trust. The Proposal: * Automatic Notification: Automatically append a small, non-intrusive disclaimer text to every automated message sent. * Suggested Text: "(Auto-Reply): The account owner is currently offline or busy. This is an automatic message." * Benefits: * User Trust: The communication becomes honest and transparent, fostering stronger trust between the sender and the recipient (and with the Meta platform). * Correct Expectation: Customers and friends immediately know when to expect a human response, drastically reducing frustration and miscommunication. B. Component 2: Smart & Contextual Reply Logic (Intelligent Responses) The Current Problem: Current automatic replies are often generic—one message serves all types of inquiries. This is ineffective because a single response cannot adequately address a "business inquiry" and a "personal greeting" simultaneously. The Proposal: * Customizable Response Templates: Provide users with the option to set up different categories of auto-replies (e.g., "Business," "Personal," "Urgent"). * Keyword Detection/Intent Logic: The Messenger system would use simple AI or user-defined keyword logic to categorize the incoming message before sending a reply. * Setup Example (for the User): * If the message contains keywords: "price," "how to order," "available," or "shipping" \rightarrow Use the "Business Reply Template." * If the message contains keywords: "how are you," "let's meet," or "where are you" \rightarrow Use the "Personal Reply Template." * Benefits: * Relevance: The response will always be appropriate to the query. Business queries get formal, informative answers, while personal messages get casual, friendly ones. * Professionalism: It prevents the awkwardness of a casual personal auto-reply being sent to a customer, or a formal business reply being sent to a friend. Summary: The Universal Benefit of this Feature Implementing the "Smart & Transparent Offline Messaging System" will enhance the entire Meta ecosystem: * For Business Users (Small Sellers): It improves their customer service 24/7. Leads receive instant, relevant information, which increases conversion rates and overall business efficiency. * For General Users (Customers/Friends): They experience a more professional and candid interaction on the platform. The speed of the response combined with the transparency of the bot usage enhances the overall user experience. * For the Meta Platform: This feature provides a significant competitive advantage, demonstrating Meta's commitment to providing advanced and user-friendly automation tools that support small businesses and organic communication flows. I sincerely hope you will give this suggestion serious consideration. I am available to provide any further details or clarification needed. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
