Meta Ray Ban Display Glasses Launch Delayed Globally
Meta, the company behind Facebook, has made new smart glasses with Ray Ban.
These glasses have a tiny screen and can do things like read messages or make calls without using a phone.
They also understand hand movements to control the glasses.
Meta planned to sell these glasses worldwide, but because so many people in the US wanted to buy them, the company decided to delay selling them in other countries like France, the UK, Canada, Italy, and India.
The glasses cost about $799 and can work for up to 30 hours on a single charge.
They also have special lenses for different lighting conditions and can do things like show live captions and translations using AI.
Meta's Ray Ban Display Glasses feature a built-in display and hand gesture support for controlling the device.
The glasses are priced at $799 (Rs 70,000 approx) and offer up to 30 hours of battery life.
Meta has delayed the global rollout of the glasses due to unprecedented demand in the US market.
The delay affects the launch in regions like France, UK, Canada, Italy, and potentially India.
The glasses can perform tasks like reading WhatsApp chats, making calls, and providing live captions and translations.
