Meta's AI-powered Ray-Ban glasses are coming to India soon, offering a hands-free way to access real-time answers, recommendations, and creative ideas. The glasses allow users to stay connected without needing to pull out their phone, and new features include live translation, messaging and calling integration, expanded music access, and smart visual assistance. The exact availability of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses in India has not been announced.
Meta has announced the imminent launch of its AI-powered Ray-Ban smart glasses in India, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates [1]. The Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which combine the iconic Ray-Ban frames with Meta's advanced AI technology, are set to revolutionize the way users stay connected and informed.
The glasses offer a range of hands-free functionalities, including real-time information access, music streaming, and messaging capabilities. Users can navigate new cities, search for recommendations, or find creative inspiration without lifting a finger. The AI-powered features allow users to capture moments, listen to music, or stay connected, all while keeping their phone tucked away.
Meta is also introducing new frame and lens options under the Skyler collection, offering users a blend of style and functionality. The Skyler Shiny Chalky Gray with Transitions Sapphire lenses, a neutral frame with a subtle pop of color that adapts to changing light conditions, is one of the standout additions. For those who prefer a more classic look, the Skyler Shiny Black is now available with G15 Green lenses or Clear lenses.
One of the most anticipated features is the live translation capability, which supports conversations across English, French, Italian, and Spanish. This function works offline once language packs are downloaded and allows users to hear translated speech through the glasses while viewing a text transcript on their phone. Additionally, users can send and receive direct messages, photos, and audio or video calls on Instagram through the glasses, in addition to existing support for WhatsApp, Messenger, and standard SMS on iPhone and Android devices [2].
Music streaming support is being extended beyond the United States and Canada, allowing users in new regions with English language settings to access Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Shazam by voice command. Users can also ask Meta AI for information about a currently playing song or album.
Meta AI's real-time conversational AI experience is also on the horizon, enabling users to ask questions about what they see through the glasses and receive contextual responses. This feature is currently being rolled out in the United States and Canada and is expected to become more widely available in the coming months.
The exact availability of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses in India has not been announced, but Meta has stated that the glasses will continue to receive software upgrades to increase their utility over time [3].
