Smart Glasses: Your New Translation Buddy

Ray-Ban and Meta have joined forces to create smart glasses. These aren't your average specs. They come packed with cool features that make life easier. One standout feature is live translation. This tool helps you chat with people who speak different languages. It's like having a personal translator right in your glasses. Live translation isn't new. But now, it's available everywhere Ray-Ban Meta glasses are sold. This means you can use it on trips abroad or when talking to locals who speak a different language.
