Summary

  • Meta has announced a wider availability for some of its Ray-Ban smart glasses features previously only accessible to members of its Early Access Program, including live translation.
  • It is now available to all markets where the smart glasses are available and supports English, French, Italian and Spanish speakers, with the option to download a language pack in advance to use the feature without Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
  • There are also new colour lens combinations for its Skyler frame style, including shiny chalky grey with sapphire Transitions lenses and shiny black with clear or green tinted lenses.
  • The AI assistant feature is due for general availability in the US and Canada and will allow the AI to see what the user sees for more natural conversations.
  • Music app access is expanding beyond the US and Canada, however, the option to ask the AI to play music or provide information remains English-language exclusive.
  • The AI is due to roll out to all supported countries in the EU next week and Meta plans to launch its Ray-Ban glasses in Mexico, India and the United Arab Emirates shortly.
