ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 More than 500 blind and low-vision veterans will receive free Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses during the Disabled American Veterans annual convention in Orlando on Monday.<\/p>\n

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rosen Shingle Creek on Universal Boulevard.<\/p>\n

According to Meta, the giveaway is part of its commitment to provide 130,000 Meta AI glasses to legally blind veterans across the United States. The AI-powered glasses are designed to help users navigate their surroundings and complete everyday tasks more independently.<\/p>\n

Veterans attending the event will receive the glasses and hands-on training in using the technology. They will also have the opportunity to test the glasses as they navigate the convention space.<\/p>\n

The convention brings together veterans, advocates, and accessibility leaders to highlight new technology and resources for the blind and low-vision community.<\/p>\n

Representatives from Meta, the Blinded Veterans Association, and veterans attending the event are expected to be available for interviews.<\/p>\n
