For example, Meta AI can suggest a substitute for a missing ingredient while cooking or recommend a wine pairing for a meal. In conclusion, the latest updates to the Ray-Ban smart glasses are designed to make life simpler, more connected, and more enjoyable. With fresh styles, real-time translation, integrated messaging and calls, and the intelligent Meta AI assistant, these glasses are becoming an essential tool for anyone looking to stay connected and productive with ease.

Meta to bring flagship Ray-Ban AI glasses to India ‘soon' in global rollout expansion
The Ray Ban-Meta glasses will be coming to India soon, the company announced on Wednesday, April 23, without mentioning a specific date. The popular AI-powered smart glasses offer a hands-free experience to wearers who can ask questions on-the-go and receive real time information. 'These stylish glasses offer everyday wearability and help you be more present with friends, family, and the world around you by letting you capture a moment or listen to music, while your phone stays in your pocket,' the company said in a press release. The Ray-Ban Meta glasses will be made available in India almost two years after the tech giant launched its first-ever smart glasses (Ray-Ban Stories) in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the company behind Ray-Ban. The next-generation Ray-Ban Meta glasses were launched in September 2023. Besides India, Meta said its smart glasses will also be rolled out in other countries including Mexico and the United Arab Emirates. 'We're also expanding access to Meta AI on Ray-Ban Meta glasses in even more countries in the EU today, and starting next week, we'll be rolling out the ability for you to ask Meta AI about the things you're looking at and get real-time responses to all our supported countries in the EU,' the company said. Furthermore, Meta announced that its flagship smart glasses are now available in a new Skyler Shiny Chalky Gray with Transitions Sapphire lenses. In terms of software upgrades, the company said it is rolling out the live translation feature globally to all markets. This feature allows wearers to hold seamless conversations across English, French, Italian, and Spanish by hearing what their conversation partner is saying in their preferred language through the glasses in real time. It also works without WiFi or network connectivity as long as the language pack has been downloaded in advance. 'You'll also soon be able to send and receive direct messages, photos, audio calls, and video calls from Instagram on your glasses,' Meta said. Access to a feature that lets wearers ask Meta AI to play music through Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Shazam is being expanded to countries outside the US and Canada. This feature also gives users the ability to ask Meta AI for information about the music they are listening to, the company added. Vision capabilities of the AI-powered smart glasses are also being made available in the US and Canada.
