AI Glasses Now in Europe: Meta's Ray-Bans Get Smarter

Ever wished you could walk around hands-free and ask questions like a real-life spy? Meta's got something for you! Their AI-powered Ray-Ban smartglasses have just hit the shelves in France, Spain, Ireland, and Italy. Wearers can now get answers in French, Italian, Spanish, and English. Ask about the best pastry shops in Paris or gift ideas for the kids, and you’ll get instant answers. But don’t expect to learn about landmarks just yet – that feature is still U. S. , Canada, and Australia-exclusive.Meta's keeping its eye on European regulations, aiming to expand sales across the EU soon. The rollout comes right after the European Commission's €797. 72 million fine over Facebook Marketplace, showing that the tech giant's dance with European regulators continues. Last week, Meta set up a shop in Los Angeles to let people test the glasses. Creative Director Matt Jacobson believes this hands-on approach helps people see the magic of Meta AI. Meanwhile, Apple's reportedly checking out the smart glasses scene, exploring what's out there already.
