Has anyone tried Meta AI Glasses?

They look like regular glasses but are packed full of tech and seem to be reasonably priced.
They let you take photos, videos, translate, have AI built in so you can ask questions and listen to music.

Has anyone here tried them?
Are they as good as they sound?

They are camera glasses and everything else is rather useless considering people already have a phone on them.

I've messed with them during a demo at a store once where a Meta rep was and gave them the same feedback lol Stuff like "translations" are just done via an app... ,and it's not even readily apparent WTF the glasses are used for. At best they use the microphone to isolate your voice, but otherwise it's not like the camera is live translating what you see or something.

Happy people stopped calling them "Smart glasses" or even referring to them as AR as so many people thought they actually had some sort of screen.

A new "Live AI" feature lets the glasses understand what you're looking at and respond in real-time.

It sounds like that's "Soon", and yeah it's more interesting, basically stuff a phone can do w/o having to hold it up like a dork.

But without any screen or way for the glasses to highlight what you are "seeing" it's going to be clumsy. It'll answer based on what it thinks you are asking it about. I'd wait for reviews on those features before jumping in myself. (which I know is partly what this thread is about but don't think those features are actually out)

Me: "Hey, Meta AI, what does that sign over there that's in Spanish say?"
Meta, speaking into your earpiece: "Let me look that up for you!"
Meta: "The sign says 'Alto', which means either 'Tall' or 'Stop' in Spanish. Given the shape and color of the sign, it is most likely that this sign says 'Stop'".

Like IntentionalPun IntentionalPun said, this is going to be clumsy as hell.
 
The AI powered "X-ray vision" hack for these things (in a few generations when they are thin profile AR googles) is gonna be WILD!!!!

I'm already working to feed the AI that I have an enormous johnson :P

walking around seeing the world in Ghibli mode one day

or... waifu mode. But then we'll have a Shallow Hal situation if you forget to turn your filters off.

Been done 15 years ago already, or at least the concept. 🤣

I am curious how does this work with GDPR privacy laws in the EU. Here you cannot record someone without their permission.

How do they enforce that? Even at a sports carnival you'll capture multiple runners in a single shot.
 
Haven't tried these, but I do have the XR glasses from Viture, which are incredibly awesome.

At sports carnivals and other mass events you are probably accepting the terms and conditions that allow that. However what if you are walking down the street with them and just recording talking to people without their consent? I assume Meta probably sneaked "let people know they are being recorded" in there somewhere, but still.
 
Bought my GF some as a late Christmas present which arrived last week. For her work they will be very useful, and additional applications such as. the look and tell feature was updated/implemented yesterday which is good to have (e.g. interpreting foreign text I think will be most handy). It'll only get better with more functions added down the track I'm sure (we asked how much a specific bottle of wine costs which it cannot do you, but said it will be able to soon).

That's not to say that they'll for everyone mind you - for some they'll be little more than a gimmick I'm sure.
