In tech news, Meta is enhancing its Ray-Ban smart glasses by rolling out a live translation feature, which now supports English, French, Italian, and Spanish. This feature allows seamless conversation through the glasses without the need for Wi-Fi or cellular data, by downloading languages in advance. Meta is also expanding the availability of these glasses to additional countries including Mexico, India, and the UAE, and is enhancing the AI capabilities to include more interactive and context-aware responses.
The Ray-Ban smart glasses, starting at $299, offer various smart features like photo and video capture, music and podcast playback, and AI-powered interaction. They are available in multiple colors and styles, with options for prescription lenses, and can be tried virtually on Meta’s website or physically in stores like Ray-Ban and Best Buy.
