Dear Daniel, 

We are thrilled to share some exciting news! Be My Eyes, in partnership with Meta, are bringing our award-winning technology to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, offering you hands-free access to our global network of 7.5 million volunteers! 


What Does This Mean for You?


Coming soon in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, and Australia, you’ll be able to experience Be My Eyes like never before. You will soon be able to access Be My Eyes directly on your Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, equipped with a range of features designed specifically to support you in your everyday life: 

*	Hands-Free Assistance: With the "Call a Volunteer" feature, you can initiate a one-way video, two-way audio call to a sighted volunteer directly through the Be My Eyes app on your Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Whether you need help reading a label, setting a thermostat, finding the right aisle in a supermarket, or preparing meals, your hands will remain free while you receive real-time assistance from one of our volunteers.

 

*	Tailored Experience: With Be My Eyes on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, you can receive real-time video assistance any time of the day or night, completely for free. The “Call a Volunteer” integration allows for easy toggling between glasses and smartphone camera, and back again, providing you with great flexibility to switch between the world view and the selfie view on your glasses.

 

*	Voice-Activated Controls: With Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, you will be able to initiate Be My Eyes’ “Call a Volunteer” experience entirely by voice command. Saying “Hey Meta, Be My Eyes” will connect users to a sighted volunteer who can speak the user’s language (180+ available) and can see from the user's viewpoint through the glasses' camera.

Potential use cases for the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with Be My Eyes are vast. From assisting with grocery shopping, locating a dropped item, reading important documents, or simply getting a visual description of a complex environment such as a busy airport. Whatever the situation, the glasses combined with Be My Eyes services provide an essential tool that now brings new levels of hands-free accessibility to everyday life.

The National Federation of the Blind 
knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your 
future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low 
expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can 
live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
