Doesn’t seem worth it.. battery of 4 hours? I want to record my entire days not just 4 hours. Tech is too early to buy because we’re not that far in tech yet, soon I strongly believe that we’ll take a huge jump leap in tech, although that’s really not good for humanity.
Just got contacted by a friend who is totally BLIND, these are a major game changer for her !! She can now send me what she is seeing, and gets info for her to know what is in the room etc. Major !!
No one is talking about this year, but it's worth mentioning they're usefulness to blind and visually impaired people. I know they can do things like read the menus and read text in general and tell you the color of something and I'm trying to find out more honestly, but I have heard a lot of good, and just wanted to mention that here as a blind person thinking of getting a pair :-) maybe I'll have to post my own video
@@anatorres8004 they also introduced a system where you can call a already existing company to help people with low or impaired people, the people in the call will read out loud what's in front of the camera, you should check the meta connect 2024 the section aboyt the ray ban smart glasses
me to I got horrible eyes and never been a fan of glasses but I can’t read or drive and stuff without and I think these would make me like my glasses a lot more always been a tech nerd lol
I came here for the review, but now, instead of being impressed with the glasses, I am impressed with the quality of the video. Just thought you should know that.
anxiety the speed of information about the glasses in this viedo, like wow its like high school when you have nothing to say but essay has to be 100 words!!!!!
I have a pair. Love em. My husband got jealous and got his own pair. Loves em. They've gotten consistent software updates and useful software upgrades. One of the rare tech purchases that was actually exactly as advertised.
Smart wear is the future. I work in retail so video camera is a no go for me. So I went with the Amazon Echoframes 3rd gen and they are just as good as these and you can switch from Alexa to Google for the ai.
Just ordered a pair on Black Friday sale. It feels like every time I’m outside and wearing sunglasses is also very likely a time when something fun I want to record happens, especially for somebody working from home like me. On weekends I usually go karting, rock climbing, or a bit of spirited driving in the canyons - none of which is an activity you can just pull out your phone while in the moment. Pretty excited.
@@TalebannTonio fixed cameras is a different thing. And very few of them run by individuals. And security cameras is a different thing because you won't see yourself on the net on a video, and won't a stranger for example see that you are eg. attend to a political party's event, or watching at home your girlfriend/daughter walked on the street or was at the beach daytime. OK you have mobile but with that the recording cannot be hidden as easily.
I never even knew these existed until I was in lense crafters yesterday. Now a part of me wants me to get them as permanent glasses but I wish they had more frame options
Honestly, I'm pretty impressed with the audio sound quality. I've only been wearing them for a few days and have almost completely abandoned by AirPods. I live in a major city, I'm constantly running after the train and my AirPods have slipped off SO many times. It's so nice to not have to carry extra items when you're commuting. Second impressive feature was the camera quality, I was not expecting it to be so clear and the videos are clear/HD. Lastly, the AI feature is neat... Excited to see what the future holds for this category.
I love mine with transition lens. I have used them skiing and the ease of taking a photo or video with your voice and not reaching in your jacket is fantastic. Also indoors while on a car to take an image hands free of wiring before taking it apart is very useful. Using them in public for music is great because you don’t look like that nerd that wants to be isolated wearing earbuds, but yet you have background music and able to take a call. Transition don’t get as dark, but more ch more useful indoors or out. I wear prescription glasses so these are just an extra pair for outdoor or indoor activities win they add “value” with their features.
Can you get them customized enough to not look like a sun glasses and not appear like a smart glasses at the same time unless someone notices with a lot of focus?
where is the charge port? maybe they can have a magnetic charging battery that juices it up. maybe like placing a small usb size and shaped device that charges it while you are wearing it so you don't have to go without it.. or get a 2nd pair and switch out when the other is charging
Until they've completed the frying of your brain, and taken details of everywhere you go, who you speak to, what you say. Why anyone would want such privacy invasion boggles the mind.
They are a bit expensive but worth it. I selected the prescription option. I am able to listen to music, take calls, pics and videos quickly. The glasses can feel about it heavy at times and with the case I am able to keep them charged a full day with use.
@@danielglenn9617 - Keep in mind the primary function of these glasses are prescription or sunglasses and will work all the time. However, if you are planning to take pictures, videos, and make calls throughout the day the battery will drain fast. Make sure to keep your case and USB-C cable with you for a quick charge up when needed.
I have been threatened 3 times this year by road ragers and crazy people on the streets. I called the cops on them, but without video evidence, the cops did nothing. i want these glasses to be my second pair of eyes.
Shooting video only in portrait mode, especially considering that the cameras themselves are laid out horizontally, is an insane decision (and the reason I haven’t purchased them)
I think the reason they made it vertical is so it integrates better with Facebook and how content is displayed on that platform. Also since videos are limited to a minute. Landscape mode wouldn't make as much sense because if you're scrolling, you wouldn't want to turn your phone each time to watch a video
Nah, my smart tracks my workouts and runs, way too many health benefits for smart watches for these glasses to be better. Apple Watches also alert first responders when you get in an accident
I have a pair! and it never ceases to amaze me to listen to music without headphones. I totally recommend it if you are looking for a different experience. But I am intrigued by your wallet with an AirTag slot!
I had no intention to ever have these glasses but i was randomly scrolling market place and found someone selling these. Just bought them out of curiosity and my god. This is future. I can only imagine how good the next gen are going to be with better cameras and more video time. Go pro will be out of business.
So basically these are a good bench market for the category but a Google or apple version would probably be better since these two companies excel in the integration category. Great review as always.
Im tempted by a pair of these. Ive been working in the construction industry and thought it would be vool to documaent my work. Thanks for your review. Maybe ill wait for the next generation of this technology as qthe price is slightly above what i can justify currently but could be a good investment for the future
I purchased the prescription version with transitions with surplus HSA account funds. The technology is sweet, but i didn’t get much use out of the features due to my lifestyle. I couldn't wear the frames at the gym, university, or work.
@Player-oz2nk GYM: I couldn't wear the frames at the gym because I'd look like a pervert. I don't want to go to jail because people think I am spying on them workout. University: Many universities have a zero tolerance policy for cheating/plagiarism. Wearing frames with recording capabilities is a one-way trip to expulsion. Work: I work with highly sensitive and confidential information. I can(will) be fired if it's discovered if I'm wearing a camera on my face, lol. Possibly even jailed and fined.
@@Ksiolijideb yeah I think you will get close to that about like AirPods. But you snap them in the case and they charge up really fast. I use the for zoom calls and other functions and u rarely drain them in normal use.
WHY are the videos in portrait view when eyes are in landscape view? It's only using a third of the screen. If there is no way to change to landscape, that is a glaring oversight and will make videos look so amateur. I was trying to figure out if I wanted these or not, as there are features I would never use, but that just unsold me. Thanks for saving me a bundle!
As someone who works as an Optical Assistant/Dispenser (albeit not with Raybans) in my experience, Transition Sunglass lenses are NOT worth it. Unless they've somehow managed to crack the code on them, in my personal experience, I have not found regular Transition lenses to be reliable if you intend to use them while driving a car (as if you have things like tinted windows it can disrupt/limit the tinting process) and on days when the weather is overcast or cloudy, it can produce insistent results with how dark they get.
Ik this sounds like a dumb question but when your listening to music is the sound leakage bad from them? Also when you ask the ai a question does it say the answer into your ear or out loud?
meta started with a good pair of glasses as theri first version, but i would buy them only when they will implement bone conduction speakers, good ai features, like chatgpt current version, that can probably help you also with the direction to reach a place analyzing the image or other smarter things than their current version. And the last thing is battery life: as you say in the video, the minimum time i would accpet is 8 hours, i know it s hard to fit a good battery inside a pair of glasses, but around 8 hours is the sweet spot. After they implement these 3 features i will buy them, also for a higher price like 600, the ai features can help a lot if the model is intelligent and can analyze what you are looking at (but it must be smarter than the actual model).
Sounds like a solid 1st gen product at a decent price point relative to the name brand. At least it won't won't end up forgotten in a drawer in 6 months. Lol
I think these would be nice for someone like me who HATES taking pics / video because i just wanna be in the moment….BUT also regret not having pics of stuff. Especially of the kids growing up or whatever. Or my wife being camera shy. I feel like having the phone out puts people on edge like they have to perform, but these are less intrusive…i guess more intrusive in some aspects, but i think for a family outing these would be perfect!
I just received my Meta Ray Bans and I am pretty happy with them. If I would have listened to Pandora with a pair of these, I would have saved my $200 on Air Pods. I was disappointed that all the reviews said it doesn't work with Pandora Radio, but if you start Pandora playing on your iPhone, you can just direct the music to the glasses. I love the way these sounds. I am very disappointed in battery life so far but I was with the first iPhones too. They will fix it. But These NOW!!
I've had the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses for almost three of weeks now and I'm very pleased with their functionality. I can offer one warning though. I bought the glasses with transition lenses so they would be almost totally clear indoors and darker (sunglasses) outdoors in the sunlight. I've discovered that my car windows have a U.V. shield (tint) that greatly reduces the transition lenses from fully transitioning to their dark state while I'm in my car.
My co-worker randomly showed me some video he recorded with meta sunglasses, and now I absolutely want one for my upcoming trip. Rhis will come in handy. I ignored this because I thought rhe video quality will be crap bug it's actually better than I've expected, still 1080p but impressive colors and dynamic range.
I happy with mine but there are a couple flaws. They are a little heavy so extended wear can get uncomfortable. The software is hit or miss, sometimes it works as intended and other times there are bugs that come through (audio is stuck on mono, glasses freeze up, or mistakenly think the lens is covered). Like Alexa, it works great…until it doesnt.
Couple steps away from getting it, just being skeptical as usual, after watching this im only one step away. Cant believe its video and audio quality. This is insane
So you can't record a long 1 hr video. Also how many gigs of internal storage memory it has? How do you transfer the content? Straight to your phone wirelessly? Should we wait for the 4k version to come out?
Other than the camera they don’t seem that different from my bose frames smart glasses. The day they get a heads up display for the lenses I’m not sure the price tag is justified but I love my glasses enough to own 2 generations of it.
I love mine and use them way more than I thought I would. I wish they could do 60fps and if I could do it all over again I would get the transition lenes
I just received mine yesterday. Once they got the Meta AI capeability they seemed more than worth the cost, and I'm very surprised by the exceptional sound quality. When you ask Meta what you are seeing they apparently use the camera lens but it doesn't take or store photo, apparently, it just "sees" what you see and answers. So far, correctly framing photos doesn't seem to be an issue. I imagine if you are trying to capture a very close subject or view the lens' position on the left side of the frame might be a factor, but it doesn't seem a problem for my interests.
One of my friends told me something that I just can't forget when it comes to smart glasses. In the future, she believes that with the facial recognition technology, creepy people will be able to pull up her information in a second and find out where she lives, where she works, her family members, and anything that really identifies her. Just think of how many stalkers will be able to do all this or even everyday people, not to mention the privacy concerns of Facebook and Meta.
Your friend's future is closer than you think: www.nytimes.com/2024/10/24/technology/facial-recognition-glasses-privacy-harvard.html?unlocked_article_code=1.V04.zfoV.yk_qH3rA2_t9&smid=url-share - Josh
This was very helpful. I’m considering getting some but it sound like it might be better to wait for next gen or competitor to make one. At least the weight difference would help.
What I always wondered is if you had the prescription glasses. Is when you go into a building or a place that doesn't allow cameras and recordings, can someone force you to take off your glasses but would that be a conflict of interest from the ADA laws for a medical device.
They were working fine, and now they won't import any pics or video. I'vee tried everything. I just paid almost 400 for these things. Extremely disappointed, I will be in the comments letting people know if they dont do something.
I saw them yesterday and today i was really really considering getting them, thanks for the video. imma wait a couple of years to see what else they can manage to squeeze into them.
hey brother was your answer at 9:57 supposed to be an analogy? Either way your answer left me kind of confused haha, the question is about transition lenses and you respond with noise cancellation as a preference?
Thought about getting these with prescription, I work security and I think this would be useful but the price plus the prescription costs is a major purchase
as a photographer, mega pixel doesn't affect image quality very much. "they are not the sole determinant of image quality, and focusing solely on megapixels is not a good indicator of a camera's performance; factors like sensor size, lens quality, and image processing play a much larger role in producing high-quality photos, meaning more megapixels doesn't always translate to better image quality". that is like saying my macaroni tastes better because there's more noodles. megapixel can increase quality in some situations, but mainly for making larger prints. People focus way too much on it. Its how legendary film photographer fan ho had amazing pictures, sharp as a tack, with a 2 megapixel camera. (rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera) , so with that said, saying its only 12 megapixels, doesn't make it inherently bad. I can take a really nice photo on a polaroid, with the right lighting and composition. that lays the problem. its hard to make a composition with glasses and a first person POV.
Great for handsfree and POV shots and clips, without having to hold the smartphone. That’s terrific when you have babies or are hands on with many tasks. Complaining about fit, weight, software limitations is to be expected for new adopters. 😊
Does it take stereoscopic images? In other words, I wonder if, by having 2 cameras, it can provide data that is easier for software to convert into 3D models.
What's the battery life when not using the features? The features we want will most likely be available down the road, i wonder if the updates would be a possible DL feature or send them in to be upgraded instead of buying a new pair!
A big question I am trying to find out. I want to use them to start critiquing myself with the game of pool. I am not the best shot. Would I be able to "stream" myself for later review? Or is there something else that you would recommend that would give me a POV shot of what I see
I assumed they would simply connect via bluetooth to your smart phone so that, for example, if your phone has thirty minutes recording time that would remain. In other words the glasses would just be an extension of your phone - glasses camera instead of phone camera. And you would still go through Siri on your phone - not Meta
Thanks for the update but one thing I "hope" I am still waiting for before taking the plunge is to have video record in horizontal versus vertical format aspect ratio. I called them once and they said they were likely going to do this in an update. I don't use TikTok and prefer my footage to actually match my monitor, or wow even a TV... Any chance they will have a software update to record horizontally, even if they do so using software? Using software options to do so will cut out resolution but atleast keep me from having to do it manually in video editing apps). This is the only thing holding me back from getting them. format
Man, solar powered would really make sense for sunglasses. Could even add in some solar power along with the battery already existing. It almost seems obvious since they're made to wear in the sun.
thanks! We live in the OBX too and my bf is a biker...really trying to find a christmas gift for him , he loves RayBans and recording while riding so I hope this works out for him

Just ordered a pair and can’t wait . More expensive than I wanted to spend but since I got them in my prescription I figured what the hay !
update?
I purchased the prescription version with transitions with surplus HSA account funds. The technology is sweet, but i didn’t get much use out of the features due to my lifestyle. I couldn't wear the frames at the gym, university, or work.
Why couldn't you use them there?
@Player-oz2nk
GYM: I couldn't wear the frames at the gym because I'd look like a pervert. I don't want to go to jail because people think I am spying on them workout.
University: Many universities have a zero tolerance policy for cheating/plagiarism. Wearing frames with recording capabilities is a one-way trip to expulsion.
Work: I work with highly sensitive and confidential information. I can(will) be fired if it's discovered if I'm wearing a camera on my face, lol. Possibly even jailed and fined.
Yh why couldn’t you use them?
I almost never use my AirPods now and the AI features are really good. The translation features work really well.
They last for four hours of music if you don’t use them for anything else?
@@Ksiolijideb yeah I think you will get close to that about like AirPods. But you snap them in the case and they charge up really fast. I use the for zoom calls and other functions and u rarely drain them in normal use.
WHY are the videos in portrait view when eyes are in landscape view? It's only using a third of the screen. If there is no way to change to landscape, that is a glaring oversight and will make videos look so amateur. I was trying to figure out if I wanted these or not, as there are features I would never use, but that just unsold me. Thanks for saving me a bundle!
As someone who works as an Optical Assistant/Dispenser (albeit not with Raybans) in my experience, Transition Sunglass lenses are NOT worth it.
Unless they've somehow managed to crack the code on them, in my personal experience, I have not found regular Transition lenses to be reliable if you intend to use them while driving a car (as if you have things like tinted windows it can disrupt/limit the tinting process) and on days when the weather is overcast or cloudy, it can produce insistent results with how dark they get.
Wow... mic sound quality was surprisingly good!
I'ma use it on a math test
Ik this sounds like a dumb question but when your listening to music is the sound leakage bad from them? Also when you ask the ai a question does it say the answer into your ear or out loud?
The music sounds great, I connected my Spotify account and the voice is just in your ear, I asked people if can hear it beside me and they said no.
meta started with a good pair of glasses as theri first version, but i would buy them only when they will implement bone conduction speakers, good ai features, like chatgpt current version, that can probably help you also with the direction to reach a place analyzing the image or other smarter things than their current version. And the last thing is battery life: as you say in the video, the minimum time i would accpet is 8 hours, i know it s hard to fit a good battery inside a pair of glasses, but around 8 hours is the sweet spot. After they implement these 3 features i will buy them, also for a higher price like 600, the ai features can help a lot if the model is intelligent and can analyze what you are looking at (but it must be smarter than the actual model).
Thank you for the detailed review. The microphone sounds great. I am definitely interested.
Sounds like a solid 1st gen product at a decent price point relative to the name brand.
At least it won't won't end up forgotten in a drawer in 6 months. Lol
2nd gen actually. 1st gen was ray ban stories. No AI
@@MasterKydis I stand corrected. Thanks.
I’m curious about using these in a work scenario. Time management and task management. Is there any application for that?
I think these would be nice for someone like me who HATES taking pics / video because i just wanna be in the moment….BUT also regret not having pics of stuff. Especially of the kids growing up or whatever. Or my wife being camera shy. I feel like having the phone out puts people on edge like they have to perform, but these are less intrusive…i guess more intrusive in some aspects, but i think for a family outing these would be perfect!
I just received my Meta Ray Bans and I am pretty happy with them. If I would have listened to Pandora with a pair of these, I would have saved my $200 on Air Pods. I was disappointed that all the reviews said it doesn't work with Pandora Radio, but if you start Pandora playing on your iPhone, you can just direct the music to the glasses. I love the way these sounds. I am very disappointed in battery life so far but I was with the first iPhones too. They will fix it. But These NOW!!
I've had the Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses for almost three of weeks now and I'm very pleased with their functionality. I can offer one warning though. I bought the glasses with transition lenses so they would be almost totally clear indoors and darker (sunglasses) outdoors in the sunlight. I've discovered that my car windows have a U.V. shield (tint) that greatly reduces the transition lenses from fully transitioning to their dark state while I'm in my car.
My co-worker randomly showed me some video he recorded with meta sunglasses, and now I absolutely want one for my upcoming trip. Rhis will come in handy. I ignored this because I thought rhe video quality will be crap bug it's actually better than I've expected, still 1080p but impressive colors and dynamic range.
As a content creator on RUclips this is a game changer for me. Thanks for your review.
I was wondering if these used bone induction or had speakers so thanks for answering that quickly
I’m buying a pair I get them for half cost as affiliate so this just convinced me thanks!
Perfect review for someone like me.
Looking for the convenience of in the moment photography without any of the social media requirements.
I happy with mine but there are a couple flaws. They are a little heavy so extended wear can get uncomfortable. The software is hit or miss, sometimes it works as intended and other times there are bugs that come through (audio is stuck on mono, glasses freeze up, or mistakenly think the lens is covered). Like Alexa, it works great…until it doesnt.
Couple steps away from getting it, just being skeptical as usual, after watching this im only one step away. Cant believe its video and audio quality. This is insane
Definately would be a easy yes for transitions if you had perscription lenses
Great video, thanks! Do you know if the Meta Smart Glasses be used to manage your smart home? "Hey Google, turn off the lights"? for example?
So you can't record a long 1 hr video. Also how many gigs of internal storage memory it has? How do you transfer the content? Straight to your phone wirelessly? Should we wait for the 4k version to come out?
Other than the camera they don’t seem that different from my bose frames smart glasses. The day they get a heads up display for the lenses I’m not sure the price tag is justified but I love my glasses enough to own 2 generations of it.
I love mine and use them way more than I thought I would. I wish they could do 60fps and if I could do it all over again I would get the transition lenes
Can you livestream, from them and do they have built in memory storage?
I just received mine yesterday. Once they got the Meta AI capeability they seemed more than worth the cost, and I'm very surprised by the exceptional sound quality. When you ask Meta what you are seeing they apparently use the camera lens but it doesn't take or store photo, apparently, it just "sees" what you see and answers. So far, correctly framing photos doesn't seem to be an issue. I imagine if you are trying to capture a very close subject or view the lens' position on the left side of the frame might be a factor, but it doesn't seem a problem for my interests.
Nice video , thanks for this info as I am a content creator and looking for something like this . Perfect
Glad it was helpful!
@ thank you , just tried them on , now I’ll have decide whether to wait for the newer version or just get these
09:55 if bought with prescription, it’s HSA-able
Very very very good review my guy.. 💪🔥🔥
Got a pair of the transition ones coming soon. Really looking forward to using them on a trip to Japan.
One of my friends told me something that I just can't forget when it comes to smart glasses. In the future, she believes that with the facial recognition technology, creepy people will be able to pull up her information in a second and find out where she lives, where she works, her family members, and anything that really identifies her. Just think of how many stalkers will be able to do all this or even everyday people, not to mention the privacy concerns of Facebook and Meta.
Your friend's future is closer than you think: www.nytimes.com/2024/10/24/technology/facial-recognition-glasses-privacy-harvard.html?unlocked_article_code=1.V04.zfoV.yk_qH3rA2_t9&smid=url-share - Josh
Would love to buy one for cycling.
This was very helpful. I’m considering getting some but it sound like it might be better to wait for next gen or competitor to make one. At least the weight difference would help.
So amazing. I can finally augment my human experience with some much needed Meta AI assistance!
Great review. I think I’ll wait a couple years for improvements.
I don't care about AI part, can I use it as a photo camera in case when I need it?
Apple should have done something like this instead of the Vision Pro
What I always wondered is if you had the prescription glasses. Is when you go into a building or a place that doesn't allow cameras and recordings, can someone force you to take off your glasses but would that be a conflict of interest from the ADA laws for a medical device.
Really awesome video! Thanks for all the information man really helps :)
Happy to help!
Hopefully I get mine on Christmas
Great review!! I was waiting for it 🕶️🕶️
They were working fine, and now they won't import any pics or video. I'vee tried everything. I just paid almost 400 for these things. Extremely disappointed, I will be in the comments letting people know if they dont do something.
I saw them yesterday and today i was really really considering getting them, thanks for the video. imma wait a couple of years to see what else they can manage to squeeze into them.
hey brother was your answer at 9:57 supposed to be an analogy? Either way your answer left me kind of confused haha, the question is about transition lenses and you respond with noise cancellation as a preference?
That case design is flawless. Beatiful
Thought about getting these with prescription, I work security and I think this would be useful but the price plus the prescription costs is a major purchase
Extremely happy with the transitions.
Because of these I’ve been making content that has been seen by millions.
Where can I watch?
@@BestTrader-hp2sd I have the same username here on TikTok & Instagram.
Got covers to hide the lens light blinking and still be able to video record at the sametime
Best gadget of 2024. Thanks for the review. I prefer the large size
as a photographer, mega pixel doesn't affect image quality very much. "they are not the sole determinant of image quality, and focusing solely on megapixels is not a good indicator of a camera's performance; factors like sensor size, lens quality, and image processing play a much larger role in producing high-quality photos, meaning more megapixels doesn't always translate to better image quality". that is like saying my macaroni tastes better because there's more noodles. megapixel can increase quality in some situations, but mainly for making larger prints. People focus way too much on it. Its how legendary film photographer fan ho had amazing pictures, sharp as a tack, with a 2 megapixel camera. (rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera) , so with that said, saying its only 12 megapixels, doesn't make it inherently bad. I can take a really nice photo on a polaroid, with the right lighting and composition. that lays the problem. its hard to make a composition with glasses and a first person POV.
Great for handsfree and POV shots and clips, without having to hold the smartphone. That’s terrific when you have babies or are hands on with many tasks. Complaining about fit, weight, software limitations is to be expected for new adopters. 😊
Does it take stereoscopic images? In other words, I wonder if, by having 2 cameras, it can provide data that is easier for software to convert into 3D models.
Does meta keep all data of everything you see?
Sounds like the only decent feature is the camera always on your face. But the delay in photo taking is a big problem.
Looks perfect for driver pov on track days, to show how the view looks like from inside the helmet
This was my thought too, but the portrait lock, and 3 minute limit is the deal breaker.
Thank you for your comments!
What's the battery life when not using the features?
The features we want will most likely be available down the road, i wonder if the updates would be a possible DL feature or send them in to be upgraded instead of buying a new pair!
A big question I am trying to find out. I want to use them to start critiquing myself with the game of pool. I am not the best shot. Would I be able to "stream" myself for later review? Or is there something else that you would recommend that would give me a POV shot of what I see
I assumed they would simply connect via bluetooth to your smart phone so that, for example, if your phone has thirty minutes recording time that would remain. In other words the glasses would just be an extension of your phone - glasses camera instead of phone camera. And you would still go through Siri on your phone - not Meta
Thanks for the update but one thing I "hope" I am still waiting for before taking the plunge is to have video record in horizontal versus vertical format aspect ratio. I called them once and they said they were likely going to do this in an update. I don't use TikTok and prefer my footage to actually match my monitor, or wow even a TV... Any chance they will have a software update to record horizontally, even if they do so using software? Using software options to do so will cut out resolution but atleast keep me from having to do it manually in video editing apps). This is the only thing holding me back from getting them. format
Can we use it as secret camera and record videos
What about as wearing 24/7 as a glasses wearer? Is there any way to charge them while wearing with a 3rd party thing?
I have low vision and in our independent living classes these glasses were recommended
0:40 you look like the sunglasses wearing guy from 'the time travelling hipster' photo lol
How long does it take for the glasses to start? Need prescription lenses so was thinking about turning them off to preserve battery.
~15-30 seconds or so
Man, solar powered would really make sense for sunglasses. Could even add in some solar power along with the battery already existing. It almost seems obvious since they're made to wear in the sun.
I have an iPhone 11 what would be the distance that these glasses would connect with my phone? Thanks.
imagine if they had a shadow play option that it can save up to the last 60 seconds u saw that wold be amazing
thanks! We live in the OBX too and my bf is a biker...really trying to find a christmas gift for him , he loves RayBans and recording while riding so I hope this works out for him
I bet he will be VERY happy with them! 🎁
The camera only shoot in portrait? Pity, that's a no-go
