Meta announced accessibility-focused updates for its products, including new features for Ray-Ban Meta glasses and expanded deployment of assistive AI tools.
Users in the U.S. and Canada will gain access to a new Meta AI feature on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses for more descriptive responses about surroundings, designed to assist users who are blind or have low vision.
In partnership with Be My Eyes, Meta will roll out its Call a Volunteer feature in all 18 supported countries, connecting blind or low vision individuals with sighted volunteers for live video support.
Meta highlighted ongoing research on sEMG wristband technology, aiming to improve human-computer interaction for users with physical disabilities, including those with Parkinson's disease and Essential Tremor.
