[META SMART GLASSES BY RAY-BAN REVIEW]
Some might say there are already too many cameras out in the world, that adding a camera to a set of sunglasses is at best superfluous, and at worst creepy.
But the first time I put these Ray-Bans on, I was reminded of a quote that Parts Unknown producer Tom Vitale shared from the late Anthony Bourdain, who “often talked about how, in an ideal world, he wouldn't be in [his own] show. It would [instead] be his point of view, like a camera moving through space, without having to see him at all.”
To be clear: I'm not sure Bourdain would have given up his beloved Persols for anything, let alone a Meta-made piece of wearable tech. But these smart glasses offer such a refined experience that even the Facebook-fatigued should give them a gander. They're a hybrid of wearable camera and open-ear headphones, blended into a body a little bigger (and pricier) than your regular Ray-Bans, powered by an augmented-reality chipset from Qualcomm called the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1. The company gave me a review sample at its annual Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, and after just a few hours wearing them, I didn’t wanna take ‘em off.

The interesting thing is how this event tested the social acceptability of the glasses. The glasses never looked weird except when the video record light was on. Probably since you would expect people on vacation to wear sunglasses, but it still looked normal. Also, low light video was very good considering the size. I wonder if there could be a battery extension for people who do irl livestreams. The only thing was the motion blur was very noticable. Maybe it records in VRR mode.

They rarely sold from my experience because they were chunky and very difficult to properly fit and adjust for patients. On top of that the $300 price tag was just a bit much for my patients when you factor in that lenses at my shop go as little as $50 all the way to $400 depending on bells and whistles you get - you could walk out of my office dropping triple digits for something that amounted to nothing more than a cute party trick.

This is likely the result of me not being a (video-focused) content creator, but when it comes to "smart glasses" (a yet to be fully defined product category if there ever was one, "smart glasses" can mean anything from display, over camera to audio features after all), I tend to gravitate to products focused on displaying, rather than recording content. I can of course see the value of first person recording becoming more approachable, even if I lack a use case. Like that they try to be proactive about informing people when they are recorded and how this gives us a taste how Meta intends to deploy LLaMA. Still rudimentary, but at least we now have their first target hardware for their LLM efforts. Also, have to admit I'd feel like a bit of a bozo during calls, though that is just an issue till this tech becomes more common. Looking back to your Focals review, I'd love to see you cover something like Xreals offerings, perhaps as part of another coverage of desktop like Android interfaces like Ready For and Dex.

This would allow for 16:9 or 9:16 video cropping after the fact for whichever platform someone chooses. I doubt they care about the user that much but for the gen 2 version, perhaps they'll have an option to put the camera in a proper horizontal orientation and have that option for enthusiasts. One could hope, anyway.

As someone who's worn glasses since the first grade, and as someone enamored with heads up displays from games like Halo, i've loved the idea of smart glasses since childhood. Unfortunately, google glass was a decade before its time and nobody (Outside of North, but they seem to have disappeared near as i can tell) has been going for the "One device to rule them all" approach. Being able to have turn by turn nav right in my field of view while calling a friend waiting for me at a restaurant or being able to use the camera to zoom in on what i'm looking at and being able to ask a digital assistant "what am i looking at" and getting a google result would be fantastic, but alas, most companies opt for doing a pick 2 skip 1 of audio, video, and HUD rather than all three. Good on you for pointing out the situation in Maui and how we can help, by the way.

EDIT: I'd like these to go with my LTE smartwatch as I could stream music to them and have the only thing I miss when not bringing my phone - a camera. However, it looks like that won't materialize as Ray Ban Meta lists only phones being compatible with these glasses.

@@startedtech that doesn't make the idea any less dystopian. A company like Google or Meta selling you glasses with a camera in them isn't selling you a cool gadget, they're just expanding the surveillance state.

As someone who daily drives the Bose Frames Soprano (prescription lens with transition) for the last 2 years, I'm highly interested in getting these. I probably won't be using all its features but there really isn't much option in the smart glasses category. This Meta Ray-Ban looks great and I love how charging it is as easy as putting it back in its case. So convenient when out travelling. It's also really nice that they have many color options and not just black. Excited for these.

I dont see the use case of this product for the average person (not an influencer).

Yeah, as I said in the conclusion, there isn't much of one unless you're a reporter, a personality, or you have a few active kids.

I'm sure there's flashable firmware to remove the camera LED trigger or to trick the safeguard into thinking it's on even when you have it covered

I need that firmware...

ok, hear me out; smart glasses / camera glasses slim enough to fit under a helmet to get FPV footage while riding motorcycles or driving on race tracks etc. any ideas?

I wonder how it detects the led being covered. Its always interesting and fun to circumvent these silly software rules

Just picked up a pair of these polarized dark lense glasses and surprisingly good video/picture quality. I was surprised that wearing the glasses with a baseball hat outside, both picture and video caught the brim of the hat. I didn't see this in any reviews?

I think there's some potentially interesting use cases for creators, vloggers etc. Not something I would personally use but I can see the use case.

That's a really inspiring review ! The price is right too ( for a rayban wayfarer ). And the hardware and features seem perfect ! As someone who is poor at documenting my life on a phone + has sensitive eyes. Im game ! this IS a deal breaker. Only gripe, I value my privacy a little too much ( thanks apple ) to the point that I don't have insta on my phone ! So meta being a part of this equation is my biggest concern. Given their bad reputation for privacy. It'd be nice to hear a reviewer talk about the privacy risks we might have to give in to, to use this device. Thanks !

Well, with these ones you make the boomer phone concert memes obsolete when you can both take a video and still enjoy the concert without a screen interfering.

One thing I noticed is the Bluetooth, when I'm talking using Bluetooth, it's only about 4-5 minutes then it will switch to the phone then what I did was press the Bluetooth icon to switch back to the glasses. Check that out if you experience the same thing.

Nice review. Ray Ban says you need wifi for it to work with instagram /facebook, etc. Since you were able to use it on the boat and other outdoor areas that don't have wifi, I assume the Smart Glasses will work as long as your phone has wifi or a cell signal (?) Can you verify the smart glasses work without wifi as long as your phone has cell service. Thanks.

I have the original Stories, can't seem to see the major differences between the two except the removal of one camera for a bigger single LED and a new carrying case design. Did they describe the differences?

Better camera. More refined software . Still has a ways to go for experience
