Meta x Ray-Ban AI Glasses Are Fantastic...But Not Why You Think

When we combine these glasses with a companion/assistant like what gpt-4o offers, that's when the magic is going to happen.

They sell transition lenses for day and night use. However, they should all be transition lenses in my opinion.

Meta, what just happened? Glasses: You just fell down a flight of stairs because you were wearing sunglasses indoors. Calling 911 now.

No landscape pics? Dealbreaker.

CORRECTION: The Meta sunglasses only have one camera (left side), the other side is used as an indicator light to let others know you're recording.

This is why I am thinking of patenting an AI nose-ring. Not only is it the perfect place for a camera but it can also know what smells you are experiencing or detect when you are sick. And after asking for directions, you just follow your nose.

OMG. Michael De Santa from GTA V. This is who you remind me of. It was driving me crazy!

I got the transition lenses and although I don’t need a prescription, I got bifocals since I’m almost 50. I wear them during surgery and document my procedures. Patients are always asking me to record part of their surgery and since these are hands free I can record a little clip to show them while my hands are in sterile gloves.

You can't unconvince that Matt is a hella talented pianist with those shades on. Could be world class with the right hat.

Great video, thank you! Do the glasses get darker if the (sun)light is brighter and the other way around?

I have two sets of cycling glasses; one for use during the day, and one for use during the night: 1. Black shades (regular sunglasses) 2. Yellow driving shades (reduces glare from oncoming headlights and improves contrast in low-light conditions) If it was possible to easily swap the lenses, I could probably wear them any time of day or night.

There are lots of stories of Peter Hamilton that use such agents (I'm re-reading the Fallen Dragon right now). It's the perfect use case - we don't need AGI in the end, we just need agents. I don't want a sentient slave to serve me, I want just a piece of interactive software that would check my email or turn on music or show me the map while driving or check a pdf for me. People are so confused about this - we REALLY don't need ScaJo to voice the ai, we just need an AI that would listen to our own voice and do as told. And that's it. I like the sun glasses a lot but I don't wear sunglasses in general (or medical glasses for now) so that's a bit a no-go for me. But they look quite good.

Do you know what size you ordered? I got the transitionals which is awesome but they are kinda tight. I think I need the larger size.

The biggest issue I have with them: - hey, Meta, remember the place - it doesn’t work. I’ve spent some time debugging the network traffic trying to connect to gpt-4o - limited results - a lot of work. In total - if Meta would take an integration path with other apps and figure out how to make it work well for them - it would be class. Other then that - a toy for a few days.

Thanks Mathew , great and complete review , the part of the how you fixed the “hey meta “ issue definitely helps me .

I thought you said “and now these are my driver’s favorite sunglasses” I was like wow what a great way to sneak in a flex lol

thank you for including videos you took. I agree taking the phone out is an annoying part, especially if there is a bunch of cool stuff around to to shoot, and you're carrying stuff.

I've got them too and find I never ask them anything. I've tried identifying plants with them and it says it can't do that. Have you checked yours to see if they can really do that? I'm hoping they have updates planned that will make them more useful. I do wish I had gotten the transition lenses so I could use them more inside.

Only one camera on the left side the right side is an indicator light. You can buy the clear or transition glasses to use indoors.

Hey Matthew, great video. I've ordered my Ray Ban Meta glasses and I should be receiving them soon. I have a question that I'm hoping you can help me with. Can I create a personal context window for my ray ban meta glasses ai assistant via the setting on the Meta View App? That way it can answer my question based upon data that might not be generally available?
