Meta’s latest innovation in wearable technology, the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, is gearing up for its highly anticipated debut in the Indian market. Designed to merge fashion with cutting-edge tech, these glasses offer users a seamless, hands-free experience of real-time assistance, entertainment, and communication—without ever needing to reach for a phone.
A new way to stay connected
According to Meta, the AI-powered Ray-Ban glasses enable users to receive answers, recommendations, or even creative inspiration while on the move. Whether you’re out exploring a city, cooking at home, or commuting to work, the glasses offer voice-activated support to help you stay connected without distraction. They allow users to take photos, listen to music, make calls, and more, all with a simple voice command—helping them stay more engaged with the world around them.
Although Meta hasn’t confirmed an exact release date for India, its official blog post suggests the rollout will occur within the coming weeks, marking the brand’s first major wearable product launch in the country.
New look, new possibilities
Alongside the Indian debut, Meta has revealed a stylish design update to its Ray-Ban collection. The newly introduced Skyler frame features a trendy cat-eye silhouette and comes in two colour variants: Shiny Chalky Grey paired with Transitions Sapphire lenses, and Shiny Black with either G15 Green or Clear lenses. This new aesthetic aims to blend classic eyewear design with the demands of modern smart tech, making it just as suitable for style-conscious users as it is for tech enthusiasts.
Features that impress
The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are packed with intelligent, AI-driven capabilities aimed at simplifying everyday tasks and enhancing on-the-go interactions:
🔄 Live translation (Available Globally)
One of the most talked-about features, live translation allows users to converse in real-time across languages such as English, French, Italian, and Spanish—even without a Wi-Fi connection, provided language packs are pre-installed. The wearer hears the translated response through the glasses while the full transcript appears on their phone. Activate it by simply saying: “Hey Meta, start live translation.”
💬 Messaging and calling integration
Soon, users will be able to send messages, share photos, and make audio/video calls via Instagram directly through the glasses. This will be in addition to existing compatibility with WhatsApp, Messenger, and native phone messaging apps. Say: “Hey Meta, send a message to Lisa on Instagram,” and you’re off.

🎵 Expanded music access and recognition
Music lovers can ask Meta AI to play songs from services like Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Shazam—all in English by default. The AI can also identify songs or albums you’re listening to and provide information like the artist or release date. Commands like “Hey Meta, what’s this song?” or “When did this album come out?” make music discovery delightfully interactive.
👁️ Smart visual assistance (Coming Soon to US & Canada)
Though not yet available in India, this upcoming feature will soon allow users to access visual context-based support. With it, the glasses can offer assistance based on what the user sees, such as suggesting cooking substitutes or wine pairings. It will allow fluid back-and-forth conversations with Meta AI without the need to keep repeating activation phrases. Simply start with: “Hey Meta, start live AI.”
A step into the future
With its pending arrival in India, the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are poised to redefine wearable technology in one of the world’s fastest-growing tech markets. Combining practical AI support with premium eyewear design, this new launch from Meta underscores a broader trend of blending everyday fashion with powerful functionality.
As we await the official launch date, one thing is clear: India’s smart tech scene is about to get a serious upgrade.
