Meta AI Expands Rollout of Ray-Ban Meta Glasses to Additional EU Countries
Update on Meta AI Availability
New Expansions
As of April 23, 2025, Meta has officially announced an expansion of its Meta AI functionality through Ray-Ban Meta glasses to several new European countries including Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Starting immediately, users in these regions can engage with Meta AI using voice commands to obtain answers to a range of general inquiries.
In this update, Meta is also rolling out its live translation feature more broadly across various markets. This feature is particularly useful for individuals traveling in new countries or interacting with family and friends who speak different languages. It allows users to communicate effortlessly in English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
Upcoming Features
In addition to the existing capabilities, users can expect exciting new features to be launched next week. This will include the ability to ask Meta AI questions about the items or locations people encounter in their environment and receive instant responses. This feature will be available to users in supported European countries.
Previous Announcements
Prior to this expansion, on November 18, 2024, Meta AI was made available on Ray-Ban Meta glasses in France, Italy, Ireland, and Spain. This ongoing rollout is designed to help individuals complete tasks, find inspiration, and connect with things they care about, all through their stylish glasses. As with the new regions mentioned, users in these countries can use their voice to get answers to various inquiries. However, the capability to inquire about items in view is still limited to users in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Key Benefits of Meta AI
Hands-Free Interaction
The integration of Meta AI into Ray-Ban Meta glasses provides users with an innovative way to interact with technology without needing to use their hands. This hands-free functionality allows users to get real-time information, recommendations, or even creative suggestions while moving about their daily lives.
For instance, users can ask questions such as:
- “Hey Meta, what’s the best patisserie in Paris?”
- “What are some good gift ideas for my kids aged 6 and 8?”
With these smart glasses, answers can be delivered almost instantly, making the experience both efficient and enjoyable.
User-Friendly Experience
Since their launch in September 2023, Ray-Ban Meta glasses have been designed to comply with Europe’s intricate regulatory requirements. Meta is enthusiastic about making the Meta AI and its versatile features accessible to European consumers and is eager to expand further across the continent.
However, it is important to note that features relying on vision-related inquiries—such as “Hey Meta, tell me more about this landmark”—are currently exclusive to users in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Meta has plans to introduce these features to additional countries soon, indicating ongoing improvements and updates.
Future Innovations
Meta is committed to continuously enhancing its AI capabilities and further integrating them into daily life through innovative technology. As they progress with regulatory compliance and user needs in mind, more functionalities and compatible regions are expected in the future. Keep an eye out for forthcoming announcements, as Meta aims to push the envelope of what can be achieved with smart eyewear.
With these advancements, Meta AI on Ray-Ban Meta glasses is set to transform daily experiences, making technology more accessible and user-friendly.
