Since we first launched our <\/span>Ray-Ban Meta glasses<\/span><\/a>, they\u2019ve been so popular that we\u2019ve had trouble keeping them on the shelves until recently. People have shared millions of moments with friends and family since we first introduced them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re exploring a new city, sitting on the sidelines of a sporting event, or simply trying to be more present in your daily life, Ray-Ban Meta glasses are the perfect companion to help you experience the world, share your perspective and capture moments, completely hands-free. And now we\u2019re adding new AI features, expanding partnerships and more.<\/span><\/p>\n First, we\u2019re making it easier to have a conversation with Meta AI. Kick off your conversation with \u201cHey Meta\u201d to ask your initial question and then you can ask follow-up questions without saying \u201cHey Meta\u201d again. And you no longer need to say \u201clook and\u201d to <\/span>ask Meta AI questions about what you\u2019re looking at<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re adding the ability for your glasses to help you remember things. Next time you fly somewhere, you don\u2019t have to sweat forgetting where you parked at the airport \u2014 your glasses can remember your spot in long-term parking for you. And you can use your voice to set a reminder to text your mom in three hours when you land safely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can now ask Meta AI to record and send voice messages on WhatsApp and Messenger while staying present. This comes in especially handy when your hands are full or when you can\u2019t get to your phone easily to write out a text.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re adding video to Meta AI, so you can get continuous real-time help. If you\u2019re exploring a new city, you can ask Meta AI to tag along, and then ask it about landmarks you see as you walk or get ideas for what to see next \u2014 creating your own walking tour hands-free. Or, if you\u2019re at the grocery store and trying to plan a meal, you can ask Meta AI to help you figure out what to make based on what you\u2019re seeing as you walk down the aisles, and if that sauce you\u2019re holding will pair well with that recipe it just suggested.<\/span><\/p>\n Soon, your glasses will be able to translate speech in real time. When you\u2019re talking to someone speaking Spanish, French or Italian, you\u2019ll hear what they say in English through the glasses\u2019 open-ear speakers. Not only is this great for traveling, it should help break down language barriers and bring people closer together. We plan to add support for more languages in the future to make this feature even more useful.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re partnering with <\/span>Be My Eyes<\/span><\/a>, a free app that connects blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers so they can talk you through what\u2019s in front of you. Thanks to the glasses and POV video calling, the volunteer can easily see your point of view and tell you about your surroundings or give you some real-time, hands-free assistance with everyday tasks, like adjusting the thermostat or sorting and reading mail.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition, we\u2019re advancing our integrations with <\/span>Spotify<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Amazon Music<\/span><\/a>, and adding new partnerships with <\/span>Audible<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>iHeart<\/span><\/a>. You can use your voice to search, discover and play content on the go. Ask to play by song, artist, album, or audiobook. And you can get more information about the content your glasses are playing (\u201cHey Meta, what album is this from?\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re dropping a new, limited edition set of <\/span>Shiny Transparent Wayfarer frames<\/span><\/a> so you can show off the tech inside them. This special edition embraces the essence of innovation through transparency, leaning heavily into craftsmanship, design and ingenuity<\/span>. <\/span><\/i>And we\u2019re bringing EssilorLuxottica\u2019s new range of <\/span>UltraTransitions\u00ae GEN S\u2122 lenses<\/span><\/a> to the Ray-Ban Meta collection, giving you even more options to adapt quickly in all light conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n Learn more at <\/span>meta.com\/smart-glasses<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nImproved AI Features<\/h2>\n
