They\u2019re also driving economic and societal value by giving farmers real-time agricultural data about their crops, allowing college athletic trainers to record real-time injury notes on the playing field, and helping universities assist prospective filmmakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We want to support groups with great ideas so they can have a bigger impact in their communities. Today, we\u2019re launching our AI Glasses Impact Grants that will bolster organizations using our AI glasses to drive positive societal and economic progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are two types of grants that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">US-based<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> organizations can apply for: Accelerator Grants for those who are already leveraging our AI glasses to scale their impact, and Catalyst Grants for organizations proposing new, high-impact applications using our Device Access Toolkit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We will award 15 Accelerator Grants of $25,000 and 10 of $50,000 USD, depending on the scale of the project. We\u2019ll also award five Catalyst Grants of $200,000. In total, we\u2019ll grant nearly $2 million to more than 30 organizations and developers. Whether you\u2019re a two-person start-up organizing beach clean-ups or a multistate business using our glasses to support accessibility, we want to hear from you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More than 80 developers and innovators congregated for our Wearables Community Summit in December 2025, who showed us how they use our glasses to build new experiences, solve real-world problems, and drive innovation.<\/span><b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, Kevin Lang, president and CEO of agriculture software company <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agerpoint.com\/products\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Agerpoint<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, uses our glasses to provide farmers and agricultural workers with hands-free and real-time AI capabilities to diagnose crop health, project harvest readiness and yield, and capture spatial data for improved decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">David Gallegos, MA, ATC, Cert. MDT, a member of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nata.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">National Athletic Trainers Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (NATA), incorporates Ray-Ban Meta glasses in his patient care and education, both on and off the field. Thanks to the glasses\u2019 voice recognition abilities, he and other NATA members can take real-time notes on player injuries and update their charts hands-free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Diego State University\u2019s School of Theatre, Television, and Film also uses our AI glasses to assist prospective filmmakers. Stuart Voytilla, a lecturer at the School, said that the accessible form factor of the glasses is a game-changer for students to easily record footage. He added that they allow students to quickly scout locations and pre-visualize shots, making early-stage filming more accessible and collaborative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can apply for an AI Glasses Impact Grant <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/glassesimpactgrants.submittable.com\/submit\">here<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
