Today in Singapore, Joel Kaplan, Chief Global Affairs Officer at Meta, announced a donation of 1,000 Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses to the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped, Guide Dogs Singapore, the Singapore Disability Sports Council and Gardens by the Bay, alongside a US$30,000 investment into accessibility training.
We believe the future is for everyone. People use our Ray-Ban Meta glasses for everything from listening to music, to live translation and hands-free calls. But for persons with disabilities, the difference they make can be life-changing. For example, for people who are blind or have low vision, our AI glasses help with everyday tasks like reading text, identifying objects and describing the world around them, helping them regain their independence.
