Ray-Ban Meta Glasses with AI will Soon be Available in India

The Ray-Ban Meta, one of Meta's newest smart glasses, will soon be available in India, the company has revealed. These glasses, which are powered by Meta AI and provide a distinctive fusion of fashion and technology, were created in collaboration with the international eyewear manufacturer EssilorLuxottica.

The glasses were first released in a few regions last year, but they are now being released in more nations, such as Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, with India likely to follow. The glasses, which are made for hands-free interaction, allow users to send messages, control music, translate languages, and ask enquiries by simply saying, "Hey Meta."

 They can take pictures, record videos, and make calls via apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger in addition to having built-in cameras and speakers.

The Ray-Ban Meta spectacles were initially introduced in September 2023 as the successor to the original Ray-Ban Stories, which were released in 2021.

Features of Ray-Ban Meta Glasses

With this new iteration, Meta has expanded app support, enhanced design, enhanced sound quality, and added more potent AI functions. The glasses are made to feel and look like standard Ray-Bans. However, they are now packed with smart technology that allows users to keep their phone in their pocket and stay connected.

One can use his glasses to take brief videos, listen to their favourite playlist, and communicate with Meta AI without using his hands. Live translation is one of its most notable characteristics. Real-time speech translation between English, French, Italian, and Spanish is supported via this tool, which is currently being made available worldwide.

It can even function offline if the language packs are downloaded. This makes it particularly useful for travellers or anyone conversing with multilingual individuals. With a transcript shown on your phone and the translation appearing as audio through the glasses, communication becomes easier and more accessible.

Bringing Online World in Front of Users’ Eyes

Major music streaming services including Shazam, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Spotify are also compatible with the glasses. Users may control playback, identify music, and play songs using a single voice command.

In addition to their support for WhatsApp and Messenger, the glasses now enable direct messaging and calling over Instagram for users who use the app often. Meta is testing a cutting-edge function in a few countries that will allow the glasses to "see" user’s environment and react appropriately.

Conversations can flow more naturally with this AI vision mode, eliminating the need to constantly say "Hey Meta". Even though the functionality hasn't been verified for India yet, it might be available when the glasses are formally released.
