-
Ask questions on the go: “Hey Meta, what’s this building called?”
-
Capture moments hands-free: 1080p video and still photos, stored securely.

Beyond the Look: Tech Upgrades
India’s rollout isn’t just about style. Software enhancements include:
-
Ray-Ban Meta translation: Live translation in English, French, Italian, and Spanish—no Wi-Fi needed once the pack is downloaded.
-
Messaging & Calls: Send DMs, photos, audio and video calls on Instagram; plus hands-free audio calls via WhatsApp, Messenger, or your native phone app.
-
Music app support: Access Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Shazam outside North America. Ask, “Hey Meta, play my workout playlist,” or “What’s this song?”
Soon, the live AI assistant feature will let Meta AI “see” what you see—so you can cook, shop, or commute with a virtual helper that never misses a beat.
When and Where to Buy
Meta Ray-Ban glasses will hit Indian stores “very soon.” Exact price and date details are expected in the coming weeks—keep an eye on authorised Ray-Ban retailers and Meta’s official channels for launch updates.
Why This Matters
Smart glasses have long teased mainstream appeal. With Ray-Ban Meta entering India, the gap between novelty gadgets and everyday essentials narrows. Expect plenty of social shares as early adopters showcase hands-free selfies and real-time translations at bazaars, cafes, and concerts. With AI-powered sunnies stepping off the runway and into your everyday life, Ray-Ban Meta could finally make smart glasses worth the hype.
