Reliance Jio launches JioFrames, its answer to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses

To give you a quick recap, Reliance had showcased JioFrames at the Indian Mobile Congress last year, but did not share any information on when they will be coming.

Like Ray-Ban Meta, JioFrames comes with a built-in camera which allows users to capture photos, record videos and go live on social media. Also, all pictures taken using the device are automatically stored on Jio Cloud. It also features a pair of open-ear speakers which can be used to take calls, listen to music or podcasts on the go and attend meetings.

However, Reliance did not share any information on when JioFrames will be available to the general public nor did it share details about the price and the AI model powering the device. During the Annual General Meeting, Reliance also unveiled a new AI joint venture in partnership with Meta. Reliance chairman and Managing Director, Mukesh Ambani.

Meanwhile, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who also made an appearance at the AGM, said, “At Meta, we want to deliver personal superintelligence to everyone. We believe that this technology has the potential to bring a new era of personal empowerment to people, so that they have greater agency to improve the world in all of the directions that they choose. And that is why I am excited about this partnership. It is a key step forward towards ensuring that everyone has access to AI, and eventually, superintelligence.”

Zuckerberg added that Meta and Reliance are going to deliver open-source AI models to Indian businesses to help them fuel their work. “With Llama, we have seen how AI can amplify human potential, boosting productivity, inspiring creativity, and accelerating innovation. And now, with Reliance’s reach and scale, we can bring this to every corner of India.”
