Meta has launched Live Cricket Updates for Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses in India, allowing cricket fans to stay on top of matches without reaching for their phones. The feature uses Meta AI to deliver real-time score updates, wicket alerts, milestone highlights, and match results directly to AI glasses. Users can ask Meta AI to follow their favorite team's game and receive AI-narrated updates in real time. The feature works with a simple voice command: "Hey Meta, follow…" followed by the name of a team or an upcoming match. Once activated, the glasses deliver real-time updates as the action unfolds on the field.
Meta is positioning the feature as a personal commentator without ad breaks, designed for situations where users want to follow a match while in a meeting, at dinner, or during a commute. The updates are delivered through the glasses without requiring users to pull out their phones or check screens. The feature is currently available in English for cricket matches in India. Meta has not specified whether it covers all formats of cricket or is limited to specific tournaments and leagues.
Meta Expands AI Glasses Functionality for the Indian Market
The launch of Live Cricket Updates marks Meta's latest effort to expand the functionality of its AI glasses in India, where cricket remains a major sport with a large following. By integrating live sports updates into Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses, the company is targeting users who want hands-free access to match information while multitasking. The feature relies on Meta AI to narrate scores and alerts, which means the updates are delivered as audio rather than displayed on a screen. This approach allows users to stay informed without interrupting their current activity or looking at a device. Meta has not announced plans to expand the feature to other sports or regions at this time. The company has also not disclosed whether the feature will be extended to support additional languages beyond English.
