Mobile
Fashionable smart glasses equipped with Meta AI
“We’re honored to be selected as a winner of Edge AI and Vision Alliance’s 2025 AI Innovation Award. Ray-Ban Meta glasses combine iconic style with cutting-edge technology to let people stay present and connected to who and what they care about most. The glasses feature cameras for sharing photos and videos, a microphone and speakers for taking calls and listening to music on-the-go, and Meta AI built-in. With Meta AI, you can ask the glasses questions about what you’re looking at, and we recently rolled out new features that make the glasses even smarter and more useful, including Live AI and Live Translation. With the addition of Meta AI video, you can now interact with our smart assistant continuously and get real-time, hands-free help and inspiration in the moment, without having to say ‘Hey Meta’ every time. Live Translation allows you to communicate effortlessly across English, French, Italian and Spanish with the person in front of you, just using the glasses. These game-changing AI features are unlocking the way people interact with each other and the world around them, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead.”
Jackie Hung, Wearables AI PM Lead, Meta (*some of these Meta AI features are currently only available on Ray-Ban Meta in the US, UK, Canada and Australia).
