Meta is expanding its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, developed in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, to new markets worldwide. India, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates will soon get access to these innovative glasses, as announced by Meta on April 23. 

The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses empower individuals with limited vision, hearing, or mobility by enabling hands-free tasks like making calls, sending messages, and capturing photos – all controllable with just your voice.

 

Live Translation Highlights Ray-Ban Meta's India Debut

 

One of the most important highlights of the India launch is the inclusion of live translation functionality.

The feature allows real-time conversations between English, Spanish, French, and Italian using open-ear speakers and paired phones, functioning offline after downloading language packs.

Apart from translation, the Ray-Ban Meta glasses have a 12-megapixel camera to take pictures and videos, open-ear audio speakers for hearing, and call and voice assistant microphones via "Hey Meta." With the integration of Instagram, users can send and receive DMs, photos, and calls directly from within the glasses.

Although no specific India release date or cost has been shared, the unveiling indicates that the smart glasses are soon to make their debut in the nation.

 

Beyond Translation: Expanded Communication Features

 

The U.S.-based technology firm is also implementing its live translation capability in all of its markets. People can view the translated transcript on their mobile devices.

Ray-Ban Meta glasses now allow users to send and receive direct messages, photos, audio calls, video calls, and messages on Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and messaging apps on their devices.

Meta is also opening up music apps such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Shazam to more users outside the US and Canada.

The users can now ask Meta AI to play music and enjoy their songs only if they have the default language set to English. This also involves the option of asking Meta AI about the music they are playing.

 

Global AI Expansion & Fresh Style Options Unveiled

 

Meta is increasing the availability of Meta AI on Ray-Ban Meta glasses in additional countries in the EU today, and beginning next week, it will introduce the capability for users to query Meta AI about what they're viewing and receive real-time answers in all our supported markets in the EU.

Buyers may also choose new Skyler Shiny Chalky Gray with Transitions Sapphire lenses, in addition to Skyler Shiny Black with G15 Green lenses or Skyler Shiny Black with Clear lenses.

Ray-Ban Meta glasses begin at US$ 299.

 

Conclusion

 

Meta's Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are growing internationally, coming soon to India, Mexico, and the UAE. Some of the key features include live translation, improved messaging, and extending Meta AI capabilities.

With fresh style choices, these glasses marry fashion and functionality, providing hands-free help and connectivity.
