Ray-Ban Meta Glasses Set for Upcoming Launch in India
Meta Platforms has announced that the highly anticipated Ray-Ban Meta Glasses will soon be available for purchase in India, expanding their reach beyond the initial launch in the United States in September 2023. Along with this new availability, the company has introduced exciting new styles and features, including enhanced live translation capabilities and the ability to send and receive direct messages and video calls through Instagram. While the glasses will also be launched in Mexico and the UAE, details regarding pricing and specific availability in India are still pending.
Expanded Availability and Pricing
The Ray-Ban Meta Glasses will soon be available in India, Mexico, and the UAE, marking a significant expansion for the product. In the United States, the base model is priced at $299, which is approximately Rs. 25,000. Developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, these smart glasses come equipped with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, open-ear speakers, and microphones. These features allow users to capture images, listen to music, and engage in conversations seamlessly while on the move. However, Meta has yet to disclose the pricing and availability specifics for the Indian market, leaving potential customers eager for more information.
New Features and Styles
The latest iteration of the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses includes new design options, allowing customers to choose from various styles. Notable options include the Skyler Shiny Chalk Grey with Transitions Sapphire lenses, the Skyler Shiny Black with G15 Green lenses, and the Skyler Shiny Black variant with Clear lenses. In addition to aesthetic updates, Meta has enhanced the functionality of the glasses. The live translation feature, initially limited to the US and Canada, is now being rolled out globally. Users can activate this feature with a simple command, enabling real-time speech translation between English and languages such as Spanish, French, or Italian. This functionality allows users to hear translated audio through the glasses’ speakers and receive a transcription of conversations.
Instagram Integration and Music Access
Meta is also enhancing the integration of Instagram with the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. Users will soon be able to send and receive direct messages, photos, and even make audio and video calls directly from the glasses. By using voice commands, such as “Hey Meta, send a message to Lisa on Instagram,” users can effortlessly communicate through the app. Furthermore, the company is expanding access to music applications beyond the US and Canada. Users in other regions will be able to stream music from popular platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music directly through the glasses, enhancing the overall user experience.
Improvements to Live AI Functionality
Another significant upgrade is the enhancement of the Live AI feature, which allows Meta AI to access the glasses’ cameras for real-time monitoring of the user’s surroundings. This feature, introduced in December 2022, enables the AI to answer questions about the environment without needing the “Hey Meta” command. Users can engage in more natural conversations with the AI, which can now respond with a smoother, more conversational tone. The Live AI feature is also being made available in more regions across the EU, further broadening its accessibility and functionality for users.
