[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.

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.

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.

It would be cool if the camera had an option for 4:3 video at full 12 Megapixels, otherwise known as "open-gate". 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.

@@lucasmendes3550They don't have the camera sensor quality to do that. Vertical pics & videos for Instagram (the primary reason these exist) would look like absolute ASS if they did that, and cropping the current vertical sensor for 16:9 would suck just as much. Super small camera sensors need to get notably better before landscape capture will become possible. It'll happen, but it's going to take another generation or two.

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.

The ability to record video at a split second, the build-in mics and speakers, being able to listen to anything while just wearing (sun)glasses is awesome.

@GadgetyMV 5 місяців тому

Such a pro review, love it. Too bad about the one minute limit to videos, though. I'd like to use them while driving, and then a minute would be too short. Is there a downtime required before taking the next video, and how many can I shoot in a row before the battery power is gone? 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.

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

@dantesvrinferno9843 3 місяці тому

I wish you could use the cmaeta as the light is blocked became people be vaping and when i say they are they like we'll we didnt see it so we cant do anything

@catzblu999 5 місяців тому

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

@miguellopez4275 5 місяців тому

I need that firmware...

thank you for your coverage here.

Yeah, flashing that LED is a quickest way to get them stolen or destroyed in any non posh place.

When are you dropping the pixel 8 pro review?

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.

Wow these sound impressive. Seems like they would be a slam dunk for a first gen product if they also allowed landscape video.

@mcmach1 5 місяців тому

They are 2nd gen

@craigix 5 місяців тому

Not having landscape is a dealbreaker for me.

Kinda crazy how good the photo & video quality is on these compared to previous attempts by both Meta and other manufacturers 🤯

I think this is finally at the point where the cool factor is real and outweighs the "ugly/stale prototype" or "cringy advertising" feel that similar products have had till now.

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.

@kira07 5 місяців тому

why.. are they.. in .. portrait mode... not.. horizontal.. also , how does the focusing work? if you take a book close to your face its all blurry because there is no AF in this thing right? I assume no image stabilization.. for next 10 years at least..

@kira07 5 місяців тому

wonger if you can insure them.. and what is the warranty..

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?

@Matanumi 5 місяців тому

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

Still waiting on your reviews of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 or the Honor Magic V2.

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?

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.
