Hey Sam, great video. Great updates. I received a pair of the Ray-Ban‘s for Christmas and I’m enjoying a heck out of learning how to use them. I did see a video from a creator where she signed up for the beta testing and was doing a video as a beta tester. The video was OK as far as it did some of what she was looking for to do unfortunately, it didn’t do everything she was needing for, and I think that’s part of why it’s still in beta to give you an idea what the problems were. She was walking along. She was asking to find the greenhouse and it never found the greenhouse found several other colors of house, but it didn’t find that and then she asked about specific house members and she was having a hard time getting it to find house numbers. New technology obviously takes time and I think they’ll keep fine-tuning this some of the features we hear about are available, but you have to be in the beta program, which is fairly easy to sign up for to get access to them.
The more I watch videos you do about this glasess along with others in the community, it convinces me more to eventually get them myself. Great video as always.
Yes! I bought them last year from LensCrafters with my insurance, premium lens coating and transition prescription lens for only about $200. Definitely worth checking out
Thanks for all the videos, my brother has been visually impaired for about 30 years now, he was stubborn for so long but last year he finally dropped the flip phone after he realized they were near impossible to buy! I also told him I couldn’t find them anywhere :-) , but in return I promised I would teach him iOS and how to use iPhones and AppleTV, so far so good and I’ll be watching all your video for ideas when I’m training him.
@@quranallen6106 Thanks!! After 2 days of research, resets, reading reddit, searching RUclips trying to figure this out I can finally just stop and wait!!
Thanks, Sam for the updates! I will be curious to see how the video aspect works when it all comes out! I could really see this being an added benefit for me here on the farm. Especially, when it comes to recognizing my cattle tags. Right now, just walking along and using the Be My Eyes, it has to take a picture to process. Which, I am sure the Meta glasses are the same. But, for the video, to get real time information would be awesome if it works like I would hope. Maybe I can get my hands on a pair that someone has to try them out before spending the money! Awesome video! Hope you had an awesome Christmas! 6:23
Video would be a game changer for me when I need to cross a street with a walk signal or find an item while shopping. That reminder command is also useful. Thanks for the update!
This sounds really exciting! I am just starting some updated assistive technology training with the agency by me and I’m sure they will include this. But I am curious how this compares with the Ally AI intelligence that you had previously on your channel. Happy new year!
hey Sam, I’m in the early access program. I have the live AI. It’s not exactly video although they call it video. Whenever you ask you a question it still takes a picture. You cannot ask it to look for something and then when it sees it, it lets you know. At least not yet. That’s the same way that Google Gemini and ChatGPT work as well. None of them are video at this point. Hopefully it’s coming soon.
Thanks for the update. Happy holidays you and Rachel and May your channel prosper in the new year. Do you have any ideas or words as to how to get the update and when the general might roll out? If this update works as hoped, it will put the glass es squarely into the actual ai marketplace. Now that it has or seems to have a firm foundation, I am hopeful that BAI will grow rapidly in terms of not only capability but accuracy. Thanks again for the post and I hope to see you on this channel early next year.
No idea on when the update will be available. Everything I'm seeing online just says that it's one of the latest updates. I'll just have to keep checking my app for the update.
Thanks for another great and informative video, Sam. This product is really great. I only wish I could get them. I have a little bit of sight remaining which requires a very strong eyeglass prescription (I'm aphakic - no lens in my eye). These glasses don't accommodate prescriptions with absolute values greater than 6. Darn.
As I heard that the ray ban transitions are not good for outside enough can one buy the meta glasses as standard lenses then choose for himself from local shops example also I need prescription lenses
Good review🤙🏼 Yeah, been waiting for celebrity voices and AI translation but still nothing! Have V11 too! Like you said, it’s slowly out, but it seems like random people have it! Not sure if you have to be an early access customer to get it?
I joined the early access feature for the glasses, and have tried a little bit of the live AI stuff. Response wise it's pretty good, but I do find that Meta AI doesn't seem near as accurate as something like Be My Eyes or ally. It seems to get things wrong more often and confidently reporting incorrect information. Hopefully this will improve when they switch to their newer llama AI, but that's my main complaint right now.
Do a video show us how to turn on the live translation feature. I know it’s available already but I can’t find how to turn it on. Many RUclips videos are only showing using it but not showing how to set it up and turn it on. It’s a great feature but no one’s explaining how to turn it on.
The battery life is very short or none in cold/freezing conditions. I´ve been using my Meta glasses daily since May. My glasses are prescription glasses.
Meta won't even explain why. I refunded mine, not because the feature isn't available but because they won't tell us why it's not available. Meta CS and support is none existent.
Definitely not looking right at the camera! Remember that blindness is a spectrum, I'm blind, but not totally blind. Just like I'm tall, but not playing in the NBA!
Love the update. Some really great features being added that make very tempted to purchase. My biggest hang-up is Meta - they don't have a good track record on privacy. This is intimate access into my life which I don't trust Meta with. Really torn on this one.
Hi Sam, this is a great video. I really love all of the new features that are with the glasses and that will be coming to the glasses in the future. I really love the celebrity voices they added, but I don’t know any of them besides John Cena they should make you a celebrity voice L O L. Also, as someone who has access to the live AI video feature and the live translation feature. These are amazing and very helpful however, as of right now thoroughly buggy. Both features are very sensitive when it comes to picking up other voices that are in the room and a couple issues with the live AI video feature is that you still have to play 20 questions with the AI and the AI loves to hallucinate a lot and honestly, I feel like The hallucinations are worse when it comes to using this feature compared to waking up the glasses and asking it to describe something to you at the end of the day these features are only gonna get better and better overtime so really looking forward to these features getting better. Once these features are available to the public. I will be doing a video on these features. Also, is there any way you could do a video regarding the Be My Eyes on the Meadow glasses? I do have a couple of videos on my channel about it.
Once you have the video feature, can you please test a specific need for us? I want the device to be able to detect real-time changes in situations. For example, "Meta, tell me when the crosswalk changes from red to white" or "Meta, tell me when the door is opened."
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
hey Sam! gotta say first off, gotta have a Christopher Walken, it’s just gotta happen! also, if I remember correctly, in the way back, you were either a cook or a chef, curious as to your opinion on how these glasses might help an avid cook and Baker, or maybe even in the future. Can you see these things meeting the demands of the kitchen in any way shape or form? thanks for all you do!
I’ve got my one. I’m in the UK but my one does not announce what I’m looking at like you’re describing. Do you think this feature will come into the UK very soon? I do have an orcas that does similar but if this can be in the glasses this will be good or do you think this will come to the UK at some point? When I say hey Matt, what we looking at it won’t let me look it just as I am a voice just assistant. Someone guessing the feature is not there available in the UK at the moment. Let’s hope the new update this may happen.
Pro tip: I always see/hear people say “hey meta” and wait for the sound and then they start talking (people do it with Siri too). You don’t have to pause and wait for the tone. Just say everything at once, it’ll still hear it and follow the command 👍
I have the latest update on my glasses but i just have the normal voices, not the celebrities voices even when the update says it has it, there’s nothing in the app.
At a Christmas Party of my family is Venezuelan and at our Christmas party they were speaking Spanish and I can tell exactly what they were saying. I eventually told them what my glasses did and they loved them and two of the ladies bought a pair for translating the English to Spanish.
Hey everyone, my name is Jonathan. I just bought a I mean my mom and dad recently got me a pair of the Meta Wayfair glasses for a Christmas gift and I was just wondering if anyone here knows if Meta or Ray band whichever one will come out with a software update That will allow you to control different smart home things using the AI voice assistant that is in the classes. If anyone knows, please reply to this comment, I would greatly appreciate it. I hope my question is not stupid. 4:24
Not true, I have a ton of totally blind friends that absolutely love the glasses. The main benefit for us is the meta AI. Thing about it is that it's audio only, so no need for sight. That's why it works great for totally blind
No, and they probably won't. Unless they put the camera right in the middle of the frames, they need to have a flat area for the camera. That's why the Ray-Ban style works so well.
Appreciate your content, really. But it's really unfortunate that your videos about the meta rayban glasses don't mention the fact that meta AI is only available for the US Canada and Australia. I bought a pair for my mom in Austria and I discovered as I unboxed it that there is no possibility to use meta AI in combination with the look functionality. So literally useless for a visually impaired person. Now I have to deal with very badly conceived return service of rayban.
Don't you think that if we were smart enough to purchase glasses we would be smart enough to actually already know this? Just saying. I have the Meta transitions. And I already knew this.
The biggest problem with Meta is Mark Zuckerberg. He has a long history of privacy violations, and he is an anti-privacy activist. In fact, to get an insight on how bad his views are on privacy, he's quoted as saying something to the effect of "If people are stupid enough to give me their personal information, then they deserve what I do with it." I don't know about you, but that's not someone I want to have my sensitive information. This is why I refuse to use any of his products. For coolness, I was like #666, because \m/
2:54 my man just bulldozing over Aquafina like that! 😭 😂
Nice video! Akwafina is a celebrity as well!
Actually it's 4 celebrities! Awkwafina is a celebrity comedian! Thanks for the update!
All we need is a Paul bettany voice so we can have Jarvis! 😂

Thanks for the thorough update to a product that is sure to be a game changer for any blind life!❤ A definitely brighter outlook!
is it not available in Canada? The voices I mean
Thank you so much for making this video. I can’t wait to buy mine.

Thank you SAM!
Can't wait for the be my AI update hanlees glasses. That will be a game changer for our community!
I thought they already had this update and now Be My Eyes is integrated with the glasses
The glasses are extremely unique and very cool, worth the money honestly they’re great!
Lookin' fly, Sam!
I don’t see the date every time I go to the update it says it’s up to date but I do t see Shazam or ai language translation
Me neither

I have the same problem. Anyone found the solution for this?
They keep leaving out that you had to sign up for early access to get that update … it’s not available for everyone just yet

I wish the glasses had a way to adjust the tint of the glasses depending on the lighting. You could have them dark when outside and clear when inside.

Hey! Quick question - I can’t read because of my brain injury - will these glasses read out text for me e.g like a menu? Or signs?
Hey Sam, quick question, are all the updates for the meta ray ban smart classes free or do we need to pay for any of the updates?

Awkwafina was actually the first voice!
If it gets Christopher Walken's voice, I'll pay full price. Was considering it on Prime sale.

I honestly didn’t know that was a celebrity voice, lol!
But I’ve got a question for you
There are different models of the glasses so which one you will recommend for completely blind person?
4 celebrities buddy. Awkwafina would definitely be my pick.
Am from india, can I buy it?
