A Touch of Sci-Fi in Your Everyday Life

Imagine if the universal translator from Star Trek came to life! Meta is making that a reality with a groundbreaking update to its Ray-Ban smart glasses.

Say Hello to Live Translation!

The latest upgrade to Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses now allows users to engage in live translations during conversations, a feature that was previously available only in select countries. This means you can effortlessly communicate with speakers of English, French, Italian, and Spanish right from your glasses.

How It Works: The Magic Unveiled

Here's how it works for English speakers: simply activate the live translation feature, and when someone speaks to you in one of the supported languages, your glasses will instantly translate their words into English. You then respond in English, and if they also wear Ray-Bans, the conversation can flow seamlessly. If not, don't worry! They can read your translated words through the Meta app on your smartphone.

No Wi-Fi? No Problem!

What’s even cooler? By downloading languages in advance, you won’t need a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, making conversations possible even in remote areas. Plus, you can use this feature while watching movies or attending lectures in a different language!

Travel Made Easier

As a frequent traveler, I can’t help but imagine how invaluable this feature would have been during my last trip to Japan, where a live translator would have greatly enhanced experiences like attending a Kabuki show.

More Languages on the Horizon?

But that's not all! Meta plans to roll out these glasses in Mexico, India, and the UAE soon, hinting that additional languages might be supported in the future.

A New AI Assistant on Board!

Meta is also expanding its AI assistant capabilities on these glasses. After launching in Germany, Austria, and other European countries, users can now ask their glasses questions about their surroundings. For example, if you’re missing an ingredient for dinner, simply ask your AI assistant for substitutes based on what’s in your kitchen.

Even More Features to Explore

You can also make calls and send messages through Messenger and WhatsApp, with Instagram support coming soon. Plus, enjoy music from various services like Spotify and Apple Music.

Stylish and Functional Designs!

And let’s not forget the style factor! The new color options, such as the chic Skyler Shiny Chalky Gray with Transitions Sapphire lenses, allow you to choose something trendy for both indoor and outdoor use. With faculties like photo capture and music playback, starting at just $299, these glasses are a must-have!

Try Them On!
