Introducing AI Glasses Impact Grants to Advance Wearable Technology for Good

Our AI glasses are reshaping how people experience the world, unlocking new paths of creativity and self-expression while empowering you to learn and connect in more intuitive ways. They're also driving economic and societal value by giving farmers real-time agricultural data about their crops, allowing college athletic trainers to record real-time injury notes on the playing field, and helping universities assist prospective filmmakers.

We want to support groups with great ideas so they can have a bigger impact in their communities. Today, we're launching our AI Glasses Impact Grants that will bolster organizations using our AI glasses to drive positive societal and economic progress.

There are two types of grants that US-based organizations can apply for: Accelerator Grants for those who are already leveraging our AI glasses to scale their impact, and Catalyst Grants for organizations proposing new, high-impact applications using our Device Access Toolkit.

We will award 15 Accelerator Grants of $25,000 and 10 of $50,000 USD, depending on the scale of the project. We'll also award five Catalyst Grants of $200,000. In total, we'll grant nearly $2 million to more than 30 organizations and developers. Whether you're a two-person start-up organizing beach clean-ups or a multistate business using our glasses to support accessibility, we want to hear from you.

More than 80 developers and innovators congregated for our Wearables Community Summit in December 2025, who showed us how they use our glasses to build new experiences, solve real-world problems, and drive innovation.

For example, Kevin Lang, president and CEO of agriculture software company Agerpoint , uses our glasses to provide farmers and agricultural workers with hands-free and real-time AI capabilities to diagnose crop health, project harvest readiness and yield, and capture spatial data for improved decision-making.

David Gallegos, MA, ATC, Cert. MDT, a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), incorporates Ray-Ban Meta glasses in his patient care and education, both on and off the field. Thanks to the glasses' voice recognition abilities, he and other NATA members can take real-time notes on player injuries and update their charts hands-free.

San Diego State University's School of Theatre, Television, and Film also uses our AI glasses to assist prospective filmmakers. Stuart Voytilla, a lecturer at the School, said that the accessible form factor of the glasses is a game-changer for students to easily record footage. He added that they allow students to quickly scout locations and pre-visualize shots, making early-stage filming more accessible and collaborative.
