Amid the year-end holidays, Meta has recently rolled out a brand-new software update, v21, for its AI-powered smart glasses that expands their real-world usability and positions them as assistive, context-aware glasses rather than simply accessories. The holiday season seems to be exciting with this new update!
The v21 Software Update will be launched through Meta’s Early Access Program for Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN smart glasses in the United States and Canada, with extensive availability planned for later.

How Can You Get Started?
