Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2 AI glasses launch in India

The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) AI glasses have launched in India at a starting price of ₹39,900, with the social media company touting improvements in video capture, battery life, the Meta AI experience, and the device style.
The new Meta Ray Ban AI glasses (Gen 2) are set to deliver 3K Ultra HD video capture, ultrawide HDR, and upgraded Meta AI experiences. The battery can last up to eight hours, with fast charging supplying 50% charge in 20 minutes. In addition to this, a charging case provides another 48 hours of power.
Users can also expect media features such as hyperlapse and slow motion through future updates.
Coming to interactions, Meta’s Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) AI glasses now support Hindi communication to help out with the wearer’s queries. Users can also interact with Deepika Padukone’s AI voice.
In the near future, they will be able to make secure UPI QR-code payments directly from the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses. This can be done by looking at a QR code while wearing the glasses and saying, “Hey Meta, scan and pay” to pay via UPI Lite, per the company. Payments are slated to be processed through users’ WhatsApp-linked bank account.
“Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 arrives in the legendary Wayfarer, the modern Skyler, and the popular Headliner styles. This year’s lineup introduces seasonal colors such as Shiny Cosmic Blue, Shiny Mystic Violet, and Shiny Asteroid Grey,” said Meta in a blog post, adding, “We look forward to more people across India experiencing the all new Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 smart glasses.”
Meta said the collection will be available at Ray-Ban India and leading optical and eyewear retailers.
