Imagine navigating your daily routine with a personal assistant ready to help at a moment’s notice — all without lifting a finger. Thanks to the collaboration between Be My Eyes and Meta, this is now a reality for individuals who are blind or have low vision.
Be My Eyes, a platform connecting users with sighted volunteers for visual assistance, has integrated its service into Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. This hands-free solution allows users to initiate a call to a volunteer using a simple voice command. The volunteer can then see through the glasses’ built-in camera and provide real-time assistance, with audio relayed through the glasses’ open-ear speakers.
Whether it’s reading a menu, navigating unfamiliar surroundings, or identifying objects, users can receive immediate support without needing to handle their smartphone. The integration also offers seamless switching between devices; a double-tap allows users to toggle between the smart glasses and their smartphone camera, providing flexibility based on the situation’s needs.
This advancement represents a significant step forward in accessibility technology, offering greater independence and convenience for users. By combining Be My Eyes’ volunteer network with the innovative features of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, individuals with visual impairments can experience enhanced support in their daily lives.
