\u201c<\/span>What I really like about the glasses is the speed at which I get the information I need \u2013 instead of waiting for someone to read a letter or waiting for someone to tell me what I have in the fridge, I\u2019ll just do it on impulse. Now I\u2019m doing things for myself independently, that maybe before I wouldn\u2019t have done.\u201d<\/span><\/i> \u2014 Brian Manning, Vision Ireland\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Meta is donating 15,000 Ray-Ban Meta glasses to Vision Ireland, Ireland\u2019s national sight loss charity. This is enough for every blind and visually impaired adult the charity supports\u00a0 \u2013 because we believe the Future is for Everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ray-Ban Meta glasses, built in collaboration with Europe\u2019s EssilorLuxottica, are one of the fastest growing consumer products and we are making sure we are building them for everyone. People use our glasses because they\u2019re genuinely helpful \u2013 from listening to music, to live translation and hands-free calls \u2013 and they can be life-changing for people who are blind or have low vision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These glasses will give people who are blind or low vision in Ireland access to transformative AI technology that can help with everyday tasks like reading text, identifying objects and accessing information about the world around them.<\/span><\/p>\n Vision Ireland is Ireland\u2019s national sight loss charity and earlier this year jointly hosted an AI glasses Demo Day at Meta Ireland HQ. Team members from Vision Ireland and advocates from across the blind and low vision community were given hands-on tutorials with Meta\u2019s AI glasses, and took part in a roundtable discussion where demo participants shared their feedback on their experience using the glasses.<\/span><\/p>\nHow People will Receive Their Glasses<\/b><\/h2>\n
