Ray-Ban Meta: Give the Gift of Meta AI 

With the holidays right around the corner, Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are making headlines in major holiday gift guides, in addition to being recognized in national technology awards, highlighting the consumer interest in these smart glasses.  

What Do They Do?
Record and share exactly what you see with photo and video capture or livestream. Listen to your favorite playlist or make a hands-free call with open ear audio that only you can hear. You can even ask questions about the world around you, and Meta AI will analyze the scene and provide real-time suggestions, all while you stay present in the moment.

Some of the key features of Ray-Ban Meta include:  

• Meta AI: The glasses have voice recognition technology that allows wearers to learn something new, simplify everyday tasks, or translate languages on-the-go. Ask Meta AI to take photos or videos, get info about the world around you, recall information later, or scan a QR code. You can also Ask Meta AI questions on-the-go and receive real-time answers and information, recommendations, or writing inspiration. 
• Take pictures and videos: The Ray-Ban Meta frames feature a 12MP camera and five-mic system. Wearers can take high-quality images and record up to three minutes of video from their frames. The accompanying app allows a seamless transition from frames to phone. A simple tap on the side of the frames allows the Ray-Ban Meta frames to capture pictures or videos of whatever you’re seeing through the lenses.  
• Livestream to social media: Wearers can share exactly what they’re experiencing by livestreaming their view to their social media platforms.  
• Listen to music or podcasts: Wearers can listen to their favorite playlist or podcast from their Ray-Ban Meta frames, and the technology won’t lose the ambient noise of the wearer’s surroundings. The style of the speakers makes them nearly invisible, but they come with Adaptive Volume Control, which makes them adjust automatically to the wearer’s environment.  
• Make or receive voice calls or video calls: Whether you’re on the move, have errands to catch up on, or want the option of being hands-free, Ray-Ban Meta allows wearers to accept or make phone calls or video calls directly from the frames.   
• Battery Life: Wearers get up to four hours with a single charge and up to 36 hours with a fully charged case. 

Making News
Smart glasses might be the perfect gift this holiday season. Ray-Ban Meta has garnered national attention, as it’s received a place among some of the most popular gift guides in the technology category. 

Additionally, Ray-Ban Meta is being recognized by both Esquire and the Accessories Council:

Esquire named Ray-Ban Meta one of its top items in personal technology for 2024. The smart glasses are being touted as “the most likely A.I.-assistant product to have real longevity.” Similarly, the Accessories Council named Ray-Ban Meta the winner in its Tech & Innovation Category.  

What’s New with Ray-Ban Meta
On top of the national recognition, Ray-Ban Meta continues to advance its smart glasses with new features, new product offerings, and an enhanced commercial offer for ECPs on complete pairs, and it is designed to increase access to Ray-Ban Meta and help practitioners maximize profitability. 

The smart glasses also feature new A.I. capabilities to help wearers remember where they parked, translate speech in real time, answer questions in real time about things they’re seeing, and more. Ray-Ban Meta can now record and send voice messages and integrate with wearers’ calendars.  

Ray-Ban Meta has also partnered with Be My Eyes, an access technology provider for people who are blind or have low vision. Call a Volunteer connects those who are blind or have low vision with a Be My Eyes’ sighted volunteer who can assist in helping with everyday tasks, such as adjusting a thermostat or sorting and reading mail. Say “Hey Meta, call a volunteer on Be My Eyes” and your glasses will start a hands-free video call with a sighted volunteer who can see through the POV video camera on your behalf. Get the help you need in real time while your hands remain free to complete your daily tasks. 

Ray-Ban Meta is also compatible with the latest offering from Transitions, the GEN S lenses. From fully clear indoors to dark outdoors, they adapt fast to all light conditions, provide ultimate light protection, and HD vision. They come in eight vibrant colors (Ruby, Grey, Graphite Green, Amethyst, Emerald, Amber, Brown, and Sapphire) that can pair with any frame.
