18Birdies & Arccos Make Meta Glasses Act As Your AI Golf Caddy

July 9, 2026 · From the archive, written in the Professor's voice before our October 2026 redesign from uploadvr.com

What happened

18Birdies and Arccos have integrated their golf apps into Meta AI on Meta's smart glasses. The apps are available in the US and Canada. Users receive hands-free, voice-activated guidance on the course.

Why it matters

This demonstrates ambient computing: AI assistance layered onto physical activity without screen interruption. You should consider which of your own workflows force unnecessary context-switching. The principle is compute that recedes into the background.

Who's doing it

18Birdies, Arccos, and Meta collaborated on this integration. The apps run on Meta's smart glasses hardware. No specific user metrics or performance results were disclosed in the source material.

Try it

1. If you own Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, say 'Hey Meta, talk to 18Birdies' or 'talk to Arccos' to initiate the golf caddy feature.
2. Ask a specific question such as 'What club should I use?' or 'How far to the green?' and listen for the audio response.
3. Walk through your pre-shot routine while receiving hands-free guidance, noting how the experience differs from pulling out your phone.
