During the 1990s I attended a Siggraph Convention for computer animators - very enjoyable. Most there were young people excited about CGI etc. But there was this one booth, by Sony, where two Japanese scientists were wearing white scientific coats - they could not speak any english, who were demonstrating wearable glasses. When they observed me being interested, they encouraged me (using physical movement - not by speaking...) to try on a pair. And I was STUNNED!!! The glasses were crystal clear, and I could see a computer screen right in front of my eyes in incredible clarity. I could also manipulate a 'mouse' on the screen. Again, everything was soooo crystal clear! I handed back the glasses to these two Sony scientists wearing white science coats. They smiled at me. And I've been looking for these glasses being available on the market ever since. That was back in the 1990s. It's now 2024.
This is pretty incredible to be honest. It feels like we're seeing the first iteration of the next personal computing device. Like how the first "mobile" phone was a suitcase. Or the first laptop was a 11kg backpack. In my opinion the Meta Ray Bans has nailed the form factor, but completely lacks the cisual AR aspect while the Ray Neo glasses is the closest to what I think most people want functionality wise but in a pretty clunky form factor. My intuition is that with how power efficient recent lightweight devices has become (for example the new M4 is so powerful that they had to take significant steps to not make the iPad a direct Macbook competitor), we're going to see the capabilities of the Ray Neo in much better form factors within a year or two. And the world will never look the same.
@tracy419 From what I understand, many people have been reporting that the app is broken, but supposedly Brilliant Labs is working on fixing it. The app isn't even on the play store right now.
Hardware kickstarters are always a huge gamble; mass producing electronics very often is way more challenging than most people expect, even if they already got working prototypes that reached all the goals.
That's literally what Google glass was. People didn't like it because it was "social awkward", and is why these AR glasses have just recently resurged since the technology is more practical in a more "natural" glasses form.
I love my XReal Air Pro 2. You didn’t mention that they are wearable monitors. I no longer have a room with three monitors. I now have THREE large monitors in my glasses ANYWHERE I go. Freedom. I’m not stuck in my office. These glasses are amazing on a plane for watching movies. On a plane and want to work on your laptop without straining your neck? Confidential info on your computer? Dim your laptop screen and look at everything on the glasses. I’ve found lots of cool things do with them. One day I was watching one of your videos while chopping veggies using the Beam accessory and using sideview mode. I have the special prescription lenses inside them, which have blue blocker. My astigmatism and the light was making my eyes water without them. I don’t want them to be wireless. The glasses are lighter without a battery and one less thing for me to forget to charge. Can you tell I love them? I’m an early adopter. Have you gotten your Rabbit? At least we got it basically for free, assuming we would’ve been paying for Perplexity anyway. sigh… I may get Meta prescription glasses instead of sunglasses. Thanks for your videos.
curious on work flow for this? i trade for a living and have always utilized a large group of monitors but i have been intrigued by the potential of using something like these and being more mobile? visible are the screens?
I love my xreal glasses. I've watched your videos while mowing the lawn. I've also used them to cook, having my recipe in front of my eyes while cooking.
lenscrafters supports the razer anzu. i had them make some lenses. and the anzus are only like $35. also, you can get prescription lenses for the TCL Rayneos and XReals
All of the xreal types (xreal,nreal,tcl nxtwear,rokid) ones come with a set of inner lenses that you can bring in and have cut to prescription standards.
@@marsrocket To my understanding the image is supposed to look like a 120-140" display at 3 meters or about 9 feet viewing distance. Which equates to about the same as a 65-70" tv at the normal viewing distance of about 6-7 feet away. It's a very useable size for things that aren't meant to have couch friendly interfaces. Like most video games with console play in mind, most media consumption. But when it comes to reading a lot of text it's not the most ideal.
The Apple and Meta versions are well polished corporate model$, and definitely have a use case. What makes the Brilliant Labs option stand out to me is how open the hardware is. Much more hackable. In terms of appearance, it seems to play more to the tech base than the mass market.
The best thing about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses is that they don't look like tech. Things that look like tech weird your average person out. People were rightfully creeped out by Google Glass, but the Meta glasses look fantastic. So far I've only had one person notice that there was anything different with my glasses.
I could see AI glasses replacing hearing aids. Most hearing aids suck when you're in a noisy talkative crowd. If you had a pair of glasses with a camera, an AR screen on the lens for displaying text, and an AI model trained to read lips, that could come in really handy.
Thing is most deaf people are very good at lip reading, even many people who can hear are good at lip reading so I don't see an AI glass really creating a great impact, maybe little gadget but that's it
There's a set of headphones that isolate someone talking in front of you and cancel out all other sound. However nobody wants a massive pair of headphones on their head all day, and looking at a review video the sound was clear, but also sort of umm.... funky.
@@shukrantpatil I'm thinking of a niche use case where something like this might be helpful. I have a friend in her 60s born with genes that have caused her to lose her hearing as she ages. She's too old to learn sign language but she's able to get by using Google Live Transcribe on her phone, but it's awkward. If she could use a similar app with glasses so she can read what people are saying to her without having to break eye contact to look at her phone, I bet it would be an improvement. The problem with Live Transcribe is that it sucks when you're in a noisy environment. I thought lip reading AI using the camera might be a better option when there's too much background chatter.
Sensory substitution can replace hearing aids far better, and eventually will tie into AI anyway for selective feedback filtering - but both have their use cases!
3:18 There's one huge question nobody has answered about stuff like this. How do you safely wash glasses like this when necessary? After all stuff happens, especially if you wear glasses with a prescription on a daily basis
Maybe I am an outlier but I want AR glasses that give audio and video turn by turn directions for walking and in car use. Glasses that do translations of word and audio so I can use them when interacting with a person in in a museum on a walk and need to translate a sign or text. The ability to take decent photos of what I am looking at and use the same camera for AI functions. The ability to listen to music, podcast or translation while keeping ears open the rest of the time so no need for ear buds. The very last feature would be a large screen in good quality for watching movies or playing games. Although nice it is far down the list of wants for how I would actually use such glasses. Keeping hands free by not incorporating a cell phone for calls, text or picture taking is where I see an improvement over typical smart phone. Until AR glasses can keep my phone out of hand I don't see them as a viable replacement but just an add on accessory.
hey xreal how about you make your software functional on mac? I've owned a pair for 2 years and little to no progress has been made on making these glasses usable for work
amazing video man, how incredible is that you go from review a few apps , to just buy the top expensive gadgets available and try the in just one video, congrats on your hard work!
Hi, Matt! This is a great review, and thanks so much for posting it. As always we viewers very much appreciate your unbiased views and reports - it helps us keep up with what's out there and available. It seems all the use cases for these AR glasses/headsets are for entertainment and personal use, but what about for more business-oriented applications? For example, how do the various offerings perform if we wanted to sit in our recliner, with a keyboard in our lap and write things in a Word or Google document, or if we wanted to create graphics in Affinity or Canva, or if we wanted to edit a video in DaVinci Resolve or Camtasia? I have always thought it would be great to have that huge virtual screen floating in front of me, so I could do this sort of stuff in greater comfort than a desk chair - or even in the passenger seat of a car while my wife is driving. Maybe you could consider a video soon on how well some of these work in more practical use cases? Thanks for all you do, and take care!
14:13 The storage capacity on this glasses is huge and the capturing and storing capability must be of high quality. If this glasses can do all these things imagine what the future holds. Ai Glassses has a promising future. 😎💪🏾💯👍🏾 11:04 The RayNeo Ai glasses thickness seem to be appropriate and manageable. The thickness is perfect 👌🏾.
Maybe the pairing problem has something to do with your other devices, such as when I try pairing headphones that I have used recently with my iPhone, pairing the headphone to my iPad wont work until I turn off bluetooth on my iPhone.
The issue with the Xreal Air 2 glasses is if you need glasses to see, yes the screen is huge but its still blurry. Once they can solve that, I will buy them again. (I returned my pair)
Awesome overview! It seems you neglected to mention which of these (the Raybans are the only "glasses" I know of) that would allow you to have lenses that you could see through if you need a prescription (not counting VR headsets, because they aren't practical as glasses). If someone needs prescription glasses some of those with embedded screens wouldn't be practical (unless they offered prescription versions). Also a tip! If you have health insurance, they may cover smart glasses with a prescription like my Raybans). Much cheaper then!
12:56 "makes you read this really really long long agreement. It won't let you continue until you scroll the whole thing; oh my gosh this is actually kind of ridiculous" Plot twist: Matt just agreed to the Chinese Communist Party having a real-time audiovisual feed from his RayNeo X2 glasses, one that they can turn on even when he's not wearing them.

They've hired a bunch of ex-NBA and WNBA players to wear RayBan Metas and peer over bathroom stalls and changing room doors.
Congrats on kicking it up over 600k subs, Matt! 🎉 Also, great review of what's available right now. I tried the Metas and none of the ones I tried look good on me so had to pass. Can't wait to see what this tech looks like in a few years though!
They are coming along awesomely. There is a real need for these in the deaf community. Was it you that showed sign language translation earlier? Combine this into the large language model too. Realtime voice and visual translation on the go.
Me too Matt. In fact my wife and I both love them. I actually turned mine into bifocals with those rubber sticky reading lenses. I've done the same thing for our sunglasses as well.
I'd love to have something smaller for VR, and even for AR in reading various text...but having very bad eyes these often don't work for me without an even larger set of lenses. Having a digital adjustment for VR and have digital lenses that adjust to my eyes would be a godsend since I spend the same every couple years to just see normally.
It´s good for POV videos. Just imagine the future when all people can film you and you do not know because is not like someone pointing a cellphone at you.
there are cameras on every building and stoplight out in public recording you. there is no difference. security cameras in public areas and buildings can actually be viewed by anyone by requesting public records!
Great comparison... only glasses you were missing are the Viture Pro glasses... I'm in between the Xreal and Viture and can't decide which one to order...
That's the only thing. As much a si like the idea of AI + glasses , there will be a lot of situations where they bring out the worst in people. That aside, they will also get stolen a lot. They'll have to figure out a way to stop that.
@makavelismith that's an easy fix. They will just be tracked by GPS at all times, not to mention the live feed of video at all times. Bluetooth low energy and a non removable battery means it doesn't even have to be on.
There's a bunch already, why hasn't he done that? Maybe it's because he doesn't wanna pay 300 bucks for Replika, which used to be like 80 for the pro version and used to be mostly an AI friend and now is an AI wife/girlfriend that you can dress up in sexy outfits. I like having erotic roleplay and shit and even I'm sick of every update being more sexy clothing. They need to update the AI desperately along with adding hair that you don't need to pay for. Plus, maybe adding more rooms or pets that aren't ugly or the ability to have Replikas connect. The woman who created it made it so she could have conversations with her friend who died, but now it's solely a sexual thing.
I just wish someone would invent a pair of Smart Glasses with an interface that can be used by someone who needs reading glasses. A focusable interface, basically. So I can see around me normally without stuff on the lens being a blurred mess. It’ll never happen, but it’s a nice thought nonetheless. I absolutely love that last pair of glasses at a little after 13:50 where you test taking pictures/video. LOVE that it doesn’t have obnoxious lights shining forward when you do a photo or video.
12:03 The RayNeo ring appears to be a perfect accessory pairable device. Control media volume with it must be so kool. 13:49 The Visuals on RayNeo seems to be of a high quality and it's clear. I imagine Apple would make a identical model of RayNeo but a more improved and higher quality type.
Do these Glasses account for someone who needs corrective Prescription lenses to see in focus? These types of Glasses make going to the bathroom something to rethink.
Fantastic review --- I know I love my Meta Raybans -- completely agree with you on them. Also love my AVP. :) Question - with the RayNeo - are the apps only HUD (heads up display) or do they have the ability to maintain position? ie. do the glasses use SLAM or other techniques to get a mapping of the room, like the AVP, HoloLens, Quest, etc. Thanks!
I got a pair of the Ray-Bans with transitions lenses and really like them. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a continuous conversation with the LLM on them, instead of having to prompt it each time?
I don't think you understand the use case for the AR rayneo / brilliant. They aren't to watch TH-cam. They are too replace your watch. Instead of looking down at your watch, the display is already in front of your eye. And since the display overlays the real world they have the extra benefit of AR. Except for TH-cam, you'll never have to pull your phone out of your pocket or wear a watch.
I'd love to see this kind of video from specifically a productivity perspective. Which of these are the best companion for a laptop for doing work - media editing, word processing, coding, spreadsheets, etc. Are any of them high-res enough to throw up a few extra monitors? Do they have the software to do that?
I would love to hear your opinion on the Vuzix Blade 2's. They're sadly a bit expensive at $1200 and you can get corrective lenses for it for an additional +$150 They only have a screen in a single eye (sadly, I do prefer both eyes) The Vuzix Blade 2 seems closest to the TCL RayNeo X2 that you tried out, though I think they look even more like normal glasses than those (not so bulky). I'm personally looking for a set of AR glasses that look more normal (as much as possible at least) that can also mirror one's phone. Mirroring one's phone while looking relatively normal seems to be VERY hard to find.... I sadly cannot find anything on actual testing of the battery life by any users with numbers all over the place (I would like them to last through a work shift...). If you are up for trying another set of Smart Glasses and are willing to review it, that would be amazing.....
I am currently waiting till the middle of June for the xreal air 2 Ultra glasses combined with their brand new beam Pro. the Ultras have two cameras on the front for spatial mapping will be much closer to the Apple Vision Pro when they both hit the market it would be awesome for you to get it hold of them and see what you think.
3:11 okay those glasses that you were using to actually play a video game and it showed you the actual game that might be very close to something that can replace your big screen TV in the future if not right now. I considered home and watch my Netflix or Hulu or whatever and it would be as if I was looking at 108-in TV screen, well then we're on the road to replacing big screen TVs to a great extent.
Agree. Meta Ray-Ban glasses are really great. Bought a pair when they came out and use them daily. Perfect for runners; though haven't been brave enough to use them in the rain.
The Brilliant Frames look horrible. I'd rather have the Amazon Echo Frames (which I wish you had included in this video!!). Definitely agree the RayBans are the ticket for now.
Interesting video. I should point out that playing video over Bluetooth is pretty hard. That's why you either get a cable and watch video or have Bluetooth but no video.
Meta Orion will be the game changer. The Rayneo is close but the FOV is so small in comparison. Not to mention the Orions can do video calls too and use Meta AI. Too bad cost $10,000 to make. The next model will be thinner and the consumer ready product.
With the Rayban Meta's being 6 months old at this point, do you expect there will be a new better iteration yearly? should i wait for the next one to get the latest tech?. was really hoping for a pair of glasses i could use while drive that had a Heads up display with speed and navigation built into them
agree that Brilliant glasses are unpairable. The form factor is nice tho...I have been experimenting with AR glasses since the Google Glass. Great Review!
I was hoping somehow I'd see the Xreal Air 2 Ultras in this video, but I've heard they're not out yet. Not sure. The Xreal Air 2 pros just add a lens darkening feature so you don't need the blackout cover. The Ultras seem to have cameras on them though like you were hoping.
The RayBans don't seem like much more than mashing AirPods with the old SnapChat glasses that had a camera. Do they do anything else besides adding a camera to AirPods?
@@High-Tech-Geek Yeah but it's really cool to be able to just use open ear headphones when you don't want anyone to know. Like.. if u at work, and u wanna listen to music but can't have your earbuds in..
For the past few years I've loved my Ray-Ban Stories, in the Wayfarer style, they've looked great and worked well. I've been considering getting the next gen Ray-Ban Meta. But, I've also always wanted AI driven AR projection on the lenses. I think they could do it if they focus on the augmented reality function as just being meant to enhance life through finding information and translations instead of trying to be immersive gamer glasses. I do like that the next gen "Meta" have better cameras and speakers.
Thank you. An excellent presentation. I want something that looks like normal glasses on which I can read text that I'm supposed to have memorized. My mermory is not what is was. any suggestions?
I'd go for the RayNeo with AR. All other choices seem to be for you to be locked down at home. I'm an outside person and a photographer / videographer so RayNeo for navigating outside your home.
I love to see more AR glasses with something like that ring controller.. or maybe they can make an app for watch for swipe gesture.. would be cool as well i guess..

No your not Epson had the wearable glasses computer over 15 years ago.
The Brilliant team is praying to all gods that MKBHD don't have his hands on their glasses lol
I'm kind of wondering If that wasn't a read the effing manual situation
@@tracy419it was. I follow the official discord, he just didn't do it right!
Just requires him to connect the charger and use a small pin to reset the glasses. All frames need this done before pairing.

it would cost over $9000 though

Am I the only one who found it hilarious when Matt was wearing those frame-glasses? Absolutely funny! Very informative review. Thanks so much!
They look like Mr Potato head glasses. 😂
Meta Glasses #1 issue is using Llama 2 vs 3. Hopefully Meta will continue to continuously update it like Meta Quest 3

if i turn off the rayban metas to just use for vision and save battery, how long does it take to turn them back on when i need to?
We need to figure out a mousepad for the roof of your mouth, and click by clicking your teeth
Congrats on kicking it up over 600k subs, Matt! 🎉 Also, great review of what's available right now. I tried the Metas and none of the ones I tried look good on me so had to pass. Can't wait to see what this tech looks like in a few years though!
Subtitle real-time translation is most important feature for me and a killer app.
Thank you for the video. What do you think about the inmo AR 2 air glasses? It has a CPU in it. Available on Amazon.
They are coming along awesomely. There is a real need for these in the deaf community. Was it you that showed sign language translation earlier? Combine this into the large language model too. Realtime voice and visual translation on the go.
Me too Matt. In fact my wife and I both love them. I actually turned mine into bifocals with those rubber sticky reading lenses. I've done the same thing for our sunglasses as well.
is there any where I can buy only the glass and create my own frames and also has an SDK so I can develop apps?
Nice overview Matt. Thanks for all you do for your subs and take care!
Check out the "Inmo Air 2" glasses. They are very similar to the TCL RayNeo X2 glasses.
Nice comparison on the latest tech glasses. Thank you!
I'd love to have something smaller for VR, and even for AR in reading various text...but having very bad eyes these often don't work for me without an even larger set of lenses. Having a digital adjustment for VR and have digital lenses that adjust to my eyes would be a godsend since I spend the same every couple years to just see normally.
What is the color of the lenses Ray band ? Light gray gradient?
It´s good for POV videos. Just imagine the future when all people can film you and you do not know because is not like someone pointing a cellphone at you.
there are cameras on every building and stoplight out in public recording you. there is no difference. security cameras in public areas and buildings can actually be viewed by anyone by requesting public records!
Just imagine the future where you're a paranoid lunatic who think everyone's out to get you.
Have you tried Even Realities G1 glasses? If not any plans to review them?
Great comparison... only glasses you were missing are the Viture Pro glasses... I'm in between the Xreal and Viture and can't decide which one to order...
What did u order?
@@saint_180 neither. I bought the Pico4 Ultra.
Thank goodness you did this! Thank you!🎉 👏 👏😊
Those should be super handy after someone attacks you for invading privacy. The future is gonna be so much fun!
That's the only thing. As much a si like the idea of AI + glasses , there will be a lot of situations where they bring out the worst in people.
That aside, they will also get stolen a lot. They'll have to figure out a way to stop that.
@makavelismith that's an easy fix. They will just be tracked by GPS at all times, not to mention the live feed of video at all times. Bluetooth low energy and a non removable battery means it doesn't even have to be on.
Attacks you for invading privacy where?
@@makavelismithWhat are you on about?
I was hoping you’d review the Even Realities G1 glasses. Those look to be the best I’ve seen so far.
Looking forward to the next video: “I tried all AI wives so you don’t have to”. ChatGPT wife nags more than Claude’s offering.
Haha I'd watch that, actually a good video idea
Can't wait
Omg lol 😂
There's a bunch already, why hasn't he done that?
Maybe it's because he doesn't wanna pay 300 bucks for Replika, which used to be like 80 for the pro version and used to be mostly an AI friend and now is an AI wife/girlfriend that you can dress up in sexy outfits. I like having erotic roleplay and shit and even I'm sick of every update being more sexy clothing. They need to update the AI desperately along with adding hair that you don't need to pay for. Plus, maybe adding more rooms or pets that aren't ugly or the ability to have Replikas connect. The woman who created it made it so she could have conversations with her friend who died, but now it's solely a sexual thing.
@nickgirdwood3082 Because there's stigma obviously, it's a near taboo topic
I just wish someone would invent a pair of Smart Glasses with an interface that can be used by someone who needs reading glasses. A focusable interface, basically. So I can see around me normally without stuff on the lens being a blurred mess. It’ll never happen, but it’s a nice thought nonetheless.
I absolutely love that last pair of glasses at a little after 13:50 where you test taking pictures/video. LOVE that it doesn’t have obnoxious lights shining forward when you do a photo or video.
Vuzix Z100
Thanks a lot for this Matt. Saved me $350, as I'll be canceling my Frame pre-order. Loving the Meta Ray Bans as well.
Cheers for the comparisons Matt! I should have ordered the limited edition Wayfarer when had the chance, though sold out now ^^;
Dope looking forward for the next wave 🌊
12:03 The RayNeo ring appears to be a perfect accessory pairable device. Control media volume with it must be so kool. 13:49 The Visuals on RayNeo seems to be of a high quality and it's clear. I imagine Apple would make a identical model of RayNeo but a more improved and higher quality type.
Is it just my imagnation but can you see what's on Matt's ReoNeo X2 screen around the 12m 57s mark?
What about for people who already wear glasses?
Is the LLM actually built in?
I find that confusing. Isn't it just connected to your phone, then the LLM server?
Do these Glasses account for someone who needs corrective Prescription lenses to see in focus?
These types of Glasses make going to the bathroom something to rethink.
The Ray-bans do. You can get prescription lenses as well as transition lenses if you want them for indoor and outdoor. Don't know about the other ones
Fantastic review --- I know I love my Meta Raybans -- completely agree with you on them. Also love my AVP. :) Question - with the RayNeo - are the apps only HUD (heads up display) or do they have the ability to maintain position? ie. do the glasses use SLAM or other techniques to get a mapping of the room, like the AVP, HoloLens, Quest, etc. Thanks!
I got a pair of the Ray-Bans with transitions lenses and really like them. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a continuous conversation with the LLM on them, instead of having to prompt it each time?
I don't think you understand the use case for the AR rayneo / brilliant. They aren't to watch TH-cam. They are too replace your watch. Instead of looking down at your watch, the display is already in front of your eye.
And since the display overlays the real world they have the extra benefit of AR.
Except for TH-cam, you'll never have to pull your phone out of your pocket or wear a watch.
I'd love to see this kind of video from specifically a productivity perspective. Which of these are the best companion for a laptop for doing work - media editing, word processing, coding, spreadsheets, etc. Are any of them high-res enough to throw up a few extra monitors? Do they have the software to do that?
This video is priceless! Very helpful for technology shopping! 🎉
I would love to hear your opinion on the Vuzix Blade 2's.
They're sadly a bit expensive at $1200 and you can get corrective lenses for it for an additional +$150
They only have a screen in a single eye (sadly, I do prefer both eyes)
The Vuzix Blade 2 seems closest to the TCL RayNeo X2 that you tried out, though I think they look even more like normal glasses than those (not so bulky).
I'm personally looking for a set of AR glasses that look more normal (as much as possible at least) that can also mirror one's phone.
Mirroring one's phone while looking relatively normal seems to be VERY hard to find....
I sadly cannot find anything on actual testing of the battery life by any users with numbers all over the place (I would like them to last through a work shift...).
If you are up for trying another set of Smart Glasses and are willing to review it, that would be amazing.....
My esteem of you and your channel just took a step up. Good job
I am currently waiting till the middle of June for the xreal air 2 Ultra glasses combined with their brand new beam Pro. the Ultras have two cameras on the front for spatial mapping will be much closer to the Apple Vision Pro when they both hit the market it would be awesome for you to get it hold of them and see what you think.
Can you wear any of them over your prescription glasses?
3:11 okay those glasses that you were using to actually play a video game and it showed you the actual game that might be very close to something that can replace your big screen TV in the future if not right now.
I considered home and watch my Netflix or Hulu or whatever and it would be as if I was looking at 108-in TV screen, well then we're on the road to replacing big screen TVs to a great extent.
Have you trie d XREAL Air Ultra 2 yet?
Great job man!
It's a shame the Viture Pro glasses weren't out in time for this video. Probably worth an update for these.
Which one of these can I get prescription lenses?
I LOVE this content. Thank you.
This was very useful, but it's conflating smart glasses and XR glasses, which are different feature sets.
Enough charge to pair?
Agree. Meta Ray-Ban glasses are really great. Bought a pair when they came out and use them daily. Perfect for runners; though haven't been brave enough to use them in the rain.
The Brilliant Frames look horrible. I'd rather have the Amazon Echo Frames (which I wish you had included in this video!!). Definitely agree the RayBans are the ticket for now.
This was helpful... appreciate your take on these!
Thank you for making this video. This has been a topic I've been interested in and this was very thorough.
Imagine Meta Ray-Ban glasses coming with the waveguide displays like the ones ReyNeo has.
Hey Matt, do you have a pair of Ray-Bans for indoors? I am loving mine too. I have transitions.
Interesting video. I should point out that playing video over Bluetooth is pretty hard. That's why you either get a cable and watch video or have Bluetooth but no video.
Dont think I could imagine a face better than yours for those glasses. Perfection.
Very helpful. Thank you. It seems like the last pair are the future awaiting developers.
Meta Orion will be the game changer. The Rayneo is close but the FOV is so small in comparison. Not to mention the Orions can do video calls too and use Meta AI. Too bad cost $10,000 to make. The next model will be thinner and the consumer ready product.
This was awesome. Now I want to see you head outside and talk to people as you use it.
It just hit me how enhanced a blind person’s life would be with meta glasses
With the Rayban Meta's being 6 months old at this point, do you expect there will be a new better iteration yearly? should i wait for the next one to get the latest tech?. was really hoping for a pair of glasses i could use while drive that had a Heads up display with speed and navigation built into them
“If I double tap my ring it will take a picture “ ! Now that is a talent !
Thank you, this was Super helpful the comparative analysis and functionality of the different lenses is really helpful. Your Awesome
agree that Brilliant glasses are unpairable. The form factor is nice tho...I have been experimenting with AR glasses since the Google Glass. Great Review!
I was hoping somehow I'd see the Xreal Air 2 Ultras in this video, but I've heard they're not out yet. Not sure. The Xreal Air 2 pros just add a lens darkening feature so you don't need the blackout cover. The Ultras seem to have cameras on them though like you were hoping.
The RayBans don't seem like much more than mashing AirPods with the old SnapChat glasses that had a camera. Do they do anything else besides adding a camera to AirPods?
No, but they're more affordable and not everyone needs AR. Plus they're the most appealing in design, you can easily just use them in public.
@@Nixkk certainly cheaper to just use ear buds and a regular pair of sunglasses from which you can choose infinite styles.
@@High-Tech-Geek Yeah but it's really cool to be able to just use open ear headphones when you don't want anyone to know. Like.. if u at work, and u wanna listen to music but can't have your earbuds in..
For the rayneo x2 you can use youtube on the edge browser
What is it with Apple bluetooth in the earbuds that like, no other bluetooth can seem to replicate? I'm assuming that's why the ring is annoying?
For the past few years I've loved my Ray-Ban Stories, in the Wayfarer style, they've looked great and worked well. I've been considering getting the next gen Ray-Ban Meta. But, I've also always wanted AI driven AR projection on the lenses. I think they could do it if they focus on the augmented reality function as just being meant to enhance life through finding information and translations instead of trying to be immersive gamer glasses. I do like that the next gen "Meta" have better cameras and speakers.
Thank you. An excellent presentation. I want something that looks like normal glasses on which I can read text that I'm supposed to have memorized. My mermory is not what is was. any suggestions?
I'd go for the RayNeo with AR. All other choices seem to be for you to be locked down at home. I'm an outside person and a photographer / videographer so RayNeo for navigating outside your home.
I love to see more AR glasses with something like that ring controller.. or maybe they can make an app for watch for swipe gesture.. would be cool as well i guess..
no review of the new viture pro ?
This makes me so excited for the future. Imagine when glasses with VR180 recording are small enough to look like regular glasses...
I agree 💯👍🏾
