Are we ready for smart glasses?
-
As a schizophrenic that hallucinate sounds and visuals, I would love to be able to record my entire day and if I doubt if something actually happened I could go back and rewatch it. This could be a game changer for people with disabilities.
-
As a cyclist, if they could record longer than 60 seconds at a time (or better yet, record the last 60 seconds into RAM), and last longer than 30 minutes or an hour of recording, then they'd be a game changer for recording cycling commutes in case of an accident.
-
In addition to being well shot and well analysed, this video is also unexpectedly funny. What a refreshing bonus.
-
Mics are very impressive. These would be fun to use on holiday.
-
First time watching a review with Victoria and I love her! Made a great team with Becca
-
Mic was the best among all tried here. Very impressive.
-
I'm used to strapping a gopro to my head/chest a lot especially for vacations. I also listen to music a lot so maybe I'll save up the money to pick up a pair. I also love your cats! đ„ș â€

Great review! They looks amazing too. During covid lockdowns I kinda got addicted to YouTube walking videos as a way of 'getting out of the house' virtually. These would be great for that, also holidays too. Yes Vic your cats are adorable and mine has the same issue with the phone... I can use that to justify these lol
-
Just won a pair - pretty amazing - they also translated whatever I was looking at (English/Italian/Spanish/French/German) - was able to answer a math problem I wrote down - was able to answer a multiple choice question on screen - basically also acts like a BT headset so all my music streaming works great - send/listen to txts and calls - v6 update now allows 3min vids đ
-
Really nice video structure and presentation style! Thanks!
-
Love the review as I bought two waferers. I also love the term "Glass-Holes"...lol. I love mine as I am not having to use my phone or wiping out my big sony A7III or go pro to capture quick photos or videos especially from POV. Thanks again for a great review.
-
A camera on every persons face on the planet, and all in the control of meta..............now let's see what the privacy laws think about this Meta. lol
-
What an in-depth and fantastic review Iâve learnt so much and have answers to questions I didnât even think of
-
Thank you for the video/sound samples. Is it possible to film what you're drawing? Is the autofocus good enough?
-
This gen 2 is amazing. FB did a fantastic job on this. All the basic yet essential features work very well: videos/ photos, speaker & mic. The photo needs improvement though. I took picture of a paper with words on it and the words are very blurry, even in good lighting.
-
Could be useful for taking photos / videos during a hike where typically I don't want to be constantly pulling my phone out while in nature but am often presented with beautiful landscapes that would be nice to capture
-
How good are they in answering calls? Do you can use speakers in all apps? Also, is it possible for visually impaired users to order a lens with the desired ones (l mean, for example, is it possible for a farsighted person to order a lens with a minus number?), if not, is it possible for an optician to change the lens after purchase?
-
The biggest disappointment is Meta didnât release a version for sports.
-
Esse review foi otimo, falou tudo sobre o produto, melhor ate que a RayBan e lançou perguntas para promover o debate sobre cĂąmeras vestĂveis, serĂŁo invasĂŁo de privacidade ou item de segurança? ParabĂ©ns !!!
