When we combine these glasses with a companion/assistant like what gpt-4o offers, that's when the magic is going to happen.
Yeah then these companies will have complete control of our daily interactions. End game
Waiting for it. There might be a little manual effort to turn on chatgpt.
@meinbherpieg4723 yep, I'll turn instantly into an ai robot, completely under their control.
@@meinbherpieg4723 No more need to converse with humans anymore. Even now, conversations are pretty useless when the second someone is unsure about something you just google it - we will have no value from talking to other humans aside from sharing stories. Humans will become obsolete for getting/sharing information. More isolation from less dependence on each other
Given the speed through the internet of gpt-4o this should already be possible for openAI. I think the deal with Apple is basically them doing that with Siri on iDevices.
They sell transition lenses for day and night use. However, they should all be transition lenses in my opinion.
I agree and disagree. They should have an option. Transitions are a little expensive.
The lenses they come with should be treated like the free sample filament that comes with a 3D printer.
It's a starting point.
I would want bifocal transitions, clear on top magnifying on bottom.
Getting custom lenses should just be part of your budget.
it should be elecrochromic glass that you can tell the AI to turn on/off the "sunglass" mode.
+$499
I got my prescription transitions in Korea for $80 deal
I’m not a fan of transitions. They never get dark enough and they don’t get clear enough quickly enough.
Meta needs to expose SDK for iPhone, Android, Windows and Linux. People will make them useful.
Wouldn't make them look very good when developers show them up using their own hardware haha
This is why I am thinking of patenting an AI nose-ring. Not only is it the perfect place for a camera but it can also know what smells you are experiencing or detect when you are sick. And after asking for directions, you just follow your nose.
😂
nice one toucan sam
I hate to say but, actually….
Noooooo
@@FloodGold Too many o's and you missed the "se" at the end.
CORRECTION: The Meta sunglasses only have one camera (left side), the other side is used as an indicator light to let others know you're recording.
He might’ve got his info from the v1… I think those had 2… one for video and the other for photos
Aah was thinking 3d pics/vids otherwise!
I always think it's funny that things like this indicate you're recording. There are cameras all over the room that don't do this. Why must I warn people that I'm recording my surroundings?
No landscape pics? Dealbreaker.
1000%
Just tilt your head!
OMG. Michael De Santa from GTA V. This is who you remind me of. It was driving me crazy!
lmao
Sharp shooting, my fav character.
Exactly, was bugging me too!
That’s Mr De Santa to you
You forget a thousand things everyday. How about you make sure this is one of them.
You can't unconvince that Matt is a hella talented pianist with those shades on. Could be world class with the right hat.
Meta, what just happened?
Glasses: You just fell down a flight of stairs because you were wearing sunglasses indoors. Calling 911 now.
As sunglasses they avoid the legal problems like Google Glasses had of having a hidden camera in an indoor and likely private space vs outdoors which tends to be a public space.
Spying on everyone taking away all rights to freedom and privacy
Only one camera on the left side the right side is an indicator light. You can buy the clear or transition glasses to use indoors.
I have two sets of cycling glasses; one for use during the day, and one for use during the night:
1. Black shades (regular sunglasses)
2. Yellow driving shades (reduces glare from oncoming headlights and improves contrast in low-light conditions)
If it was possible to easily swap the lenses, I could probably wear them any time of day or night.
Great video, thank you!
Do the glasses get darker if the (sun)light is brighter and the other way around?
There are lots of stories of Peter Hamilton that use such agents (I'm re-reading the Fallen Dragon right now). It's the perfect use case - we don't need AGI in the end, we just need agents. I don't want a sentient slave to serve me, I want just a piece of interactive software that would check my email or turn on music or show me the map while driving or check a pdf for me. People are so confused about this - we REALLY don't need ScaJo to voice the ai, we just need an AI that would listen to our own voice and do as told. And that's it. I like the sun glasses a lot but I don't wear sunglasses in general (or medical glasses for now) so that's a bit a no-go for me. But they look quite good.
I've got them too and find I never ask them anything. I've tried identifying plants with them and it says it can't do that. Have you checked yours to see if they can really do that? I'm hoping they have updates planned that will make them more useful. I do wish I had gotten the transition lenses so I could use them more inside.
Do you know what size you ordered? I got the transitionals which is awesome but they are kinda tight. I think I need the larger size.
thank you for including videos you took. I agree taking the phone out is an annoying part, especially if there is a bunch of cool stuff around to to shoot, and you're carrying stuff.
I couldnt stop staring at the visualizer in the background on your second shelf above the YT plaque, what is that? I like the snake game.
Thanks :) it’s the tidbyte and yes that’s snake :)
I got this in Febrary and it is one of the best purchases for me. I wear glasses so had my prescription glass fitted to it. So it is on me all the time. The Ai features with LLAMA 3 was introduced to it towards end of April. Before that it was only camera. It has been amazingly useful as an camera. I mostly used it to video record everywhere I go and create short FB reels. The quality of video and photos are amazing for that tiny camera. The best part is that no one notice you recording the action so others would not "ACT" and you do not need to get people uncomfortable pointing your phone or other cameras at them.
Now the Ai features are still at infant stage, it is very useful for a Tourist. I recently did an international trip and it was able to identify many places and food items. Do translations of sign boards. It could read letters of different languages. You could do that with a phone too. But having it in your glasses are super convenient IMO. It can improve a lot. I believe Meta will add more features. But for me, it is something I can truely love to have with me all the time. I am big fan of these glasses.
I thought they only have one camera, not two. The other is a light sensor and LED. Also if you don’t want them as just sun glasses you simply buy transitions or clear, you can then use them all day. I have been using every day and use prescription transitions and they are great.
The biggest issue I have with them: - hey, Meta, remember the place - it doesn’t work.
I’ve spent some time debugging the network traffic trying to connect to gpt-4o - limited results - a lot of work.
In total - if Meta would take an integration path with other apps and figure out how to make it work well for them - it would be class.
Other then that - a toy for a few days.
🤓
I thought you said “and now these are my driver’s favorite sunglasses” I was like wow what a great way to sneak in a flex lol
You should have gotten transition lenses
Will you even need cameras on your glasses with more than 1080p resolution when you can upscale photos and videos cheaply to an arbitrary resolution?
I'm in the same boat. I work as a head of Tech for a company and buy all the gadgets.
Albeit slightly boring conceptually compared to a lot of the flashy underdeveloped gadgets coming ou, this seems to be the most finished product.
I have the ones with transitional lenses and they work great for both inside and outside.
It's funny how everyone is rushing to get these new product concepts out on the market regardless of bugs, but I think it's also great that so many people are pioneering these ideas. Baby steps.
These are competing in a more stablished market tho… Bose also offers some kind of Bluetooth sunglasses with phone connectivity.
As far as the data Apple and Google has access too: if you’re installing an app, they can request permission to anything on your phone. Genuinely curious about what other data you’re thinking would provide them such a big advantage
Cool.
Why on earth are photos vertical?
Also what does it do with 2 cameras?
Would be good if they were opensource and could be connected tonother system.
That is where others will make their mark
I brougth one of thoses, and since I use prescription lenses, I went to a store near my house and request them a pair that fits on the glasses. It is much better now, I threw away the original dark lenses
It's actually only using llama 2 right now. but llama will come later, I'm sure. also, since these are basically headphones, you can tell siri what to do through them also
Does Meta provide normal glasses versions (non-sunglaseses)? If so, that seems like the best option if you want to wear these all day long.
You can get prescription free GenS transition lenses that change based on ammt of sunlight. Completely clear indoors. You don't need a script for them.
I have had these since they launched with prescription transition lenses. I wear glasses anyways, and these are now my daily drivers. I always have them on. If you’re willing to wear glasses full-time, there is no better form factor for AI integration into your life. I have the Rabbit R1 and it is no contest, the glasses are the best form factor.
Surely you can get them with Photochromic lenses so you can use them both in- and outdoors?
When you take video, is it also in vertical format? Great video Matthew!
yup.
Should have used a photochromatic lens that auto-adjusts to the light conditions.
I got the transition lenses and although I don’t need a prescription, I got bifocals since I’m almost 50. I wear them during surgery and document my procedures. Patients are always asking me to record part of their surgery and since these are hands free I can record a little clip to show them while my hands are in sterile gloves.
HIPPA compliant?
I don’t like that we need to say “hey meta” to invoque the system it’s awkward like any vocal assistants.
I had the first raybam meta and the battery life was horrific and picture quality very low
And I had issues with pairing and audio was not as good as a open run pro conductor headphones
That was a fair review, I'm glad I'm subscribed to the channel.
thanks!
Transition lenses are the only way to use them throughout any situation, but then the battery isn't great so you've gotta charge em often
Thank you Matt, so you think if i would use all of meta facilities, such as Facebook and whatsapp, it somehting that is worth it?
So who do you get to put in the prescription?
I’m a runner, so of course when I run, I sweat… I heard a few reviews that these are NOT water proof… would you recommend them or not? Bc I really want to get them boy not if they’re going to be ruined in my first few runs
I have the transition lens version. Regular glass indoor and sunglass outdoor.
I need these as clear wrap around safety glasses for work. Like the 3M around-eye foam cover safety glasses that protect from dust around the eye.
Can't we get transition lenses, where they automatically go dark in bright light, but are clear when dim light ?
What software version is it I have these glasses but I can’t ask what is this and other questions…
Can it translate texts from labels? Like, If I am in Japan and can't read it, does it translate it and show on the lens?
Great, as someone who doesn't like it when random people take pictures of me, I have another thing to worry about.. Sunglasses.
Your legal agent will automatically sue them 😂
I wear mine inside: transition lenses.
Smart!
Is llama multimodal? How does it know your hat is blocking the photo
Mat - I would really appreciate a quick update on Agents and their potential... You have mentioned them a few times with a ton of enthusiasm. I have tried digging around on chatgpt but not making much progress. Any chance of a short video to bring us newbies up to speed please??
Just my thought to that problem with AI could not not perform actions with google/apple service - maybe it could be resolved that meta ai agent could just ask another ai agent from another company to do that task by your behalf by that another company ai agent. Like cooperation between ai agents from different companies. Also what I would need is to be able for example project navigation from Google maps or other navigation apps so I could see where I have to go in glasses, not looking on mobile or onboard navigation. Best if they would be available here in Europe, in Czech Republic and it culd be used with prescription glasses
If I wear the glasses and I am travelling, can I ask it questions based on what i'm looking at to help me travel better? for example if i'm at a tube station in Japan and i'm lost af, can I ask it for assistance to help me understand/guide me where to go for example? perhaps even helping me navigate maps etc? I think that could be a good use case.
They do sell transition lens version. You can use indoor and outdoor
You can purchase them with Transition lenses. Camera only on one side. The other side is an indicator light to show the camera is activated to anyone facing you.
I have a pair that are transitions and no prescription, so then I can wear them in more situations. Definitely use them mostly for the photos/videos, but the AI has worked well. They also have a "look at" function so that it will take a photo and you can ask it questions about the content, or for translations. I miss that you can't start an audio recording session, or ask what song this is, but hopefully that will come in the future.
Why didn’t you get the transition lenses?
How does the AI connect to the internet? Is there Wi-Fi or a SIM card built in?
You don’t have to get them as sun glasses. Mine are basically clear frames. Slight blue tent that helps with indoor & outdoor use.
I have the transition lens and they only make them for the black frames. I don’t like the transitions though. It doesn’t get dark enough for me especially in the car when I need them the most.
the only time i don't like using them is on sunny days in the car. i open the sun roof to get more clarity to darken the lenses on my transition meta's.
Hey Matt, the glasses come with transition lenses and even prescription lenses to cover the different use cases. Plus It has a camera on one side and an indicator light for the camera on the other which if covered, disables the camera functionality.
They can be used for live streaming as well as a POV Cam in whatsapp video calls.
Your digital product reviews a generally more well worsed. Keep up the good work!
Had them for months now and they are great. A lot more useful than I expected. Use them daily. Wish I had gone with the transition lenses tho. Replaced having to bring airpods with me for most use cases outdoors (except mowing, still want noise cancelling for that)
congradulate to the designer, it really design well in term of technical design
eventually this will be merged with the Quest and I'm excited for it.
Are they AirPods substitute? For people who’d wear them all the time to make calls or listen to music/videos hands free?
Could you please, pretty please, make a video on easy and effective memory usage with crewAI, that can store specific user conversation information for querying later and general information about operations to learn from it and improve? This would help so much
hat blocking the photo notifications is so cool
It would be of more value if it told the user the hat is blocking prior to taking a photo.
@brianWreaves how would it know you're about to take a picture
@brianWreaves how would it know you're about to take a picture
@@pedramtajeddini5100 When the user says, "Take a picture."
@@brianWreaves he said it has a button tho
I would have liked a live demonstration and some example pictures from the device.
Can you use your phone Meta app as a remote button instead of saying Hey Meta or pressing the button on the glasses itself to take a pic?
I hope some time in the future users will be able to set up their smart glasses to their own locally ran ai model
You can get transition lenses without prescription for the Meta Ray-Ban AI Glasses. This way, you can enjoy their full functionality, both indoors and outdoors, seamlessly adjusting to different lighting conditions. I get use all day long!
Don't they have version with photochronic glasses?
Great video! You're right about integration. I think they are starting to possibly integrate services. They are showing the ability to use service called "Calm" for wind-down time. I think in the future we will see more integrations. I would love to be able to take notes and also have a memory where you can ask about notes from the past or even simply set a timer. Once it does that it will really be more compelling. Still I'm amazed how fast the AI response is sometimes it's almost instant.
Very very cool. Thanks so much for this review. I was considering getting these and now I know that I want to have them. At my age I do wear prescription glasses. In my case I chose glasses that get dark at sunshine so I could use my glasses all the time. Hopefully I can get that in these as well and possibly over here in Europe, where WhatsApp is much more common anyway. Thanks again for your brilliant presentation.
Great review. Thanks
Why no picture taken from glasses?
Good reviews. Lots of insightful comments
They're not for me, but I appreciate the honest review 👍
Matthew, putting on the sunglasses: "I'll see you in the next one."
*Cyberpunk 2077 music*
😅
They should make the lenses to where they tint in the sunlight photosensitive.
There is just one camera on the left side. The other side is a LED light XD
One camera my guy just one
First thought - transition lenses, a simple solution as long as they are high-quality 'transitioners.' The form factor is perfect - regular-looking glasses. Being black, one doesn't notice the cameras.
This was great, I am blind and I use these glasses every day, like Meta's look and ask feature is really helpful for me as I can have it describe things around me, or if I pick up a snack or drink, I can just hold it in front of my face and ask what it is. The only thing I noticed is about the camera, there is only one, it's on the left, the one on the right is a little light that tells people you are taking pictures or recording, although I've been told by people that it's not very noticable. 10:54 10:54 10:54 10:54
prescription lenses + transition lenses+simultaneous interpretation+mobile voice operation will make it more valuable in my opinion.“NOT REALLY REQUIED IN MY LIFE NOW”is correct.
My guess is that meta is trying to distance themselves from Google and their Google Glass / glasshole debacle. By making these an outdoor device they can minimize the problems with highly social interactions.
Great point!
Thank you for sharing that Matt it was interesting. This is something I would be interested in but I think I'm going to wait a little while longer until they fix all the bugs.
You could get transition lenses (from clear to sunglasses in seconds)
I have been telling people before two things that AI can be adapted super fast is Hologram and Sun glasses
This approach to AI will be the way to go soon. I will buy a product like this as soon as it's open source and my data and not FB.
The email asistant with voice and message just that could save thousands of lives by car accidents, car accidents is one of the first cause of deads of young people, just that could break all the car insure industry and if the cameras take video all the time like security camera well if robbed or something bad happen you have the video evidence.... or just give the service free in the phone and it will save millions of lives...
They make them with transition lenses, so you can wear them inside and out.
I really like Llama 3. It's fast and even did some things, which no llm has ever done and it surprised me.
I don't use Facebook much but I'm sure they allow you to sync your contacts to Messenger. This might solve the text a message problem.
They don't have transition lenses (the kind that change shade when exposed to UV light). That would make them practical in most circumstances
They do
they should make the lens with a photoelectic cell that can darken or go clear on command.
I feel like Llama will make me walk into a wall for fun.
Apparantly, an update is planned to include landscape pics. Then i will buy with the transition lenses
As someone who wear eye glasses, this seems useful one integrated into normal glasses.
I wonder if people wont don't need glasses would wear them for the tech?
