Ray-Ban Meta ai glasses for veterans

NewView Oklahoma is proud to be a supporter of Meta and the Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) to bring an important new technology opportunity to honorably discharged veterans who are blind or have low vision.

Through a national initiative led by Meta and BVA, eligible veterans will have the opportunity to get a free pair of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses and participate in complementary training designed to help them explore how the technology can support greater independence in everyday life.

Meta glasses can assist with tasks such as reading text, identifying objects, accessing information, and navigating their surroundings. During the event, veterans will have the opportunity to learn how to use the glasses and explore the features that may be most useful to them.
