Meta Expands Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Features and Availability

Meta is expanding features on its Ray-Ban smart glasses, including live translation, which is now available to all users in select markets. The feature allows users to hold conversations with someone who speaks a different language, with real-time translations through the smart glasses in their preferred language.

In addition to live translation, new color lens combinations are also being added to the Ray-Ban Meta Skyler frame style. Users can now purchase shiny chalky gray frames with sapphire Transitions lenses or shiny black frames with clear or green tinted lenses.

Other features, such as live AI and messaging capabilities from Instagram, are coming soon to general availability in various markets. The ability to send direct messages, photos, audio calls, and video calls from Instagram is expected to roll out soon, while access to music apps like Spotify and Apple Music is expanding beyond the US and Canada.

Meta AI will also be available in more countries, including the EU, with an exact timeline yet to be announced. The company plans to launch its Ray-Ban smart glasses in Mexico, India, and the United Arab Emirates soon.
