Great video, especially coving topics and points of view missed by other channels. If I may add a recommendation by adding what would make these tech even better / wish list and what the audience would like to see. I would like to see these connect up to Steam and consoles (XBOX, PS, Nintendo) or retirement community setup for socializing or playing games together (bowling, or any other sport that is no longer physicaly capable of participating sort of like what Nintendo Wii did but better). If AR glasses they might have to use Sony Playstations Blue Ray plan on taking over the market which was so elegantly described in the Movie Tropic Thunder..... Kevin Sandusky: Now, if you recall that whole hullabaloo where Hollywood was split into schisms, some studios backing Blu-ray disc, others backing HD DVD. People thought it would come down to pixel rate or refresh rate, and they're pretty much the same. What it came down to was a combination between gamers and porn. Now, whichever format porno backs is usually the one that becomes the uh most successful. But, you know, Sony, every PlayStation 3 has a Blu-ray in it. Kirk Lazarus: You talkin' to me this whole time? Kevin Sandusky: I was talking to whoever was listening. Kirk Lazarus: Jesus Christ, man!
Watching the awesome tech journalists I love go from being accountable to the publishers they work for- to becoming fully independent content creators has been one of my favorite trends for over a decade in tech journalism. First Micheal Fisher, then Dieter, and now you, not to mention Jaime Rivera- it's such a reminder that we followed those publishers not for the company but for you guys- getting to support y'all much more directly now is really awesome and inspiring
To me, the true innovation is that bracelet. They're sitting on a goldmine if they can release an API to make that the new universal controller for all things. I can imagine sitting at any place where there's a computing device and pairing using a presented gesture and immediately having full control of the computing device. No hands touching filthy surfaces, mice, trackpads, keyboards... This would really change everything. Forget the glasses. I want these bracelets.
Not ridiculous, but sort of funny. The glasses reminded me of those gag glasses with big eyebrows and attached moustache. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family from Ontario, Canada.
I feel like the applications of this get really cool once you think about how it could help with people's jobs and tasks and things like that. Imagine a plumbing app that guides you through how to replace your shower head and pipes under the sink, an app that teaches you how to service your bike, turn by turn navigation (of course), tour guides that surface the history behind what you're looking at, 3D mapping of all the services underneath footpaths and roads for electrical works etc
the ifixit guide is an amazing idea for AR! i would love if it kept track of the screws and simply put a circle around the one i need when reassembling something
I think the most solid applications for AR will emerge in commercial and government spaces. It wouldn't be too much of a lift to integrate into existing PPE and the efficiency gains could easily justify the cost of implementation if it simplifies tasks or reduces errors.
I'm excited about this. There will be standard consumer uses, sure. But commercially this and many other future headsets will be crucial to health care, IT, training, safety, hospitality, etc... and I am excited about where all those fields go with this tech. Super jealous you got to experience it firsthand but extremely thankful you shared with us.
I hate to say it, since I’m very much not a Meta fan, but I think augmented reality glasses like these are going to be the break through wearable of the future. Imagine being able to have face/beauty filters on all the time out in the world. The ability to provide contextual information based on what you’re looking at would revolutionize things like window shopping, directions, translation, etc. There are so many possible applications.
I've been wearing the Meta Rayban full-time for half a year now and I can say for myself that I am 100% invested into smart eye wear. I honestly love listening to audio books with my Raybans because it's so convenient to turn on and off, versus my airpods that I have to take on and off between office time and break time (also just have to store them). I usually almost don't use AI assistant, even ChatGPT, but I found myself using the Meta AI assistant to ask things that will come up as I work, again, because it is so convenient. Just ask and it'll tell you without having to grab your phone. All this works because the volume is low enough that only I can hear it and at the same time, I can still interact with everyone around me. If these AR glasses can give me the same thing while giving me some visual inputs, I'm all up for it. For example, while I'm okay listening to Meta assistant telling me the facts, I would like to see the answer in text for things that are more visual, like coding or a recipe, or what something looks like.
Raybans are absolutely useless in the UK. All the crap AI can say 'I can't do that on your glasses but I'm learning all the time' Like fuck they are...
So it appeared that the Mac was being used to both monitor what I was seeing and to run the demo. For example when it was time to play the game I didn’t select anything, it just started for me. And I assumed that the person on the computer was prompting the system to start. But it is very unclear is anything processing was being done for the device on that Mac.
Thanks for confirming that the overlaid imagery is even less saturated than what these promo clips show. I understand people want glasses not goggles but passthrough seems to be the only tech which can deliver the fidelity users will pay for.
i’m a little worried that Meta appears to be ahead of the game on this. It wasn’t that long ago that Mark was being forced against his will to apologise to the parents of dead children who his app had encouraged to first hate themselves and then kill themselves. naturally we never learn from mistakes. Facebook is one giant mistake and i can’t help thinking that the idea of putting on our faces is the worst possible idea we have had in tech. I can’t wait for AR glasses; but i will never wear something with Marks blood stained fingers prints on
I'm very much looking forward to good AR glasses. Foward as a good ways forward into the future as even this advanced tech shows they are still a number of innovations short of being ready for primetime.
Obviously very impressive technology but i don't think i would ever let a tech company access a live camera feed of what I'm seeing. Even if it starts off with a good privacy policy, companies like meta have proven themselves to not be trustworthy. Also, among people i know i feel like the mindset is that a lot of people are trying be on their phones less, not more, so i question how many people will want to have a screen attached to their head at all times. We'll see what the future holds i guess.
AR glasses: for the masses they are going to have to do everything a phone does now and more. Maps need to be in 3D and fun. AI needs to just show me an arrow as i walk out of a building because it knows where i am and my calendar for example. and this kind of thing needs to happen with several things from the start. they also have to have to be cool and like you said, if i can’t take money off and hand them to someone else to try very easily, AR won’t go any further than VR already has

Give me one example of how AR glasses will enable us to do something we can't currently do with your smartphone or computer. Not a very fringe use case, for a very specific job, but a thing most people do regularly.
If I may offer some feedback on your lighting Becca. In this video I believe you have a back light that is severely messing with my eyes. Instead of providing a gentle fill light, it creates a highly illuminated and sharp silhouette behind your jawline which for my ADHD brain is very distracting. 😅
I think in the long term all of Meta’s AR/VR endeavors will fizzle out into nothing, they don’t have the apps that matter. Don’t get me wrong I love my quest 3 (for gaming), but will ditch it immediately when the Apple Vision Pro becomes more affordable.
My only concerned with AR is we seem to build the technology for the sake of building... technology. Then hope that developers will come up with something. For me that's a backward way of thinking of what technology is for. It should be "today I'm doing [X], but it would be life changing if I can to [X] if this tech existed.
End-user experience stopped being a priority a LONG time ago. Its frustrating. I thought I was doing thing that helped me be connected to more people, but now, I’m anything but that. And what’s worse, I’m still not connected to anyone I care about in the real world either. Having a fkng screen ON MY EYEBALLS is probably something that isn’t going to help improve the quality of my life.
Becca, I am a fan and subscribed as soon as you started your own channel, but… 25% of this video was an ad. So for those of us that do not pay YT’s extortion money, it is a few minutes of your content, a YT ad, your ad, another YT ad, a few minutes of your content, another YT ad, then another few minutes of your content. That is not a good experience. You do not need to have 2 minute ads, try to get sponsors who will just Sponsor you. Or at least wait until you have millions of subscribers, so it doesn’t matter when people like me unsubscribe. 😂
The innovation in this space is moving way too slow. We obviously want AR and HUD technology. Why are people even asking this question at this point? The companies creating the tech though have been very lackluster with what they are providing so far though. Maybe the sophistication is just not here yet, but we need to acting like this is the the type of tech that needs to be justified. It just needs to be better.
Ray Bans look good, and do what I'd want, check. I might even consider buying them, These look ridiculous and do stuff I don't want. Thanks for the video.

don't forget the glasses .....it's literally the equivalent of holograms anywhere and everywhere ...and the bracelet makes the most sense with glasses
Lmao you absolutely cannot forget the glasses but I agree
Ok, be honest... do I look cool or ridiculous with Orion on?
A bit goofy but still good 👍
Not ridiculous, but sort of funny. The glasses reminded me of those gag glasses with big eyebrows and attached moustache. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family from Ontario, Canada.
The frame looks a bit...toy, plastic like. On the other hand, I feel somebody like Andre 3000 would wear it and people would find it cool.
Buddy Holly was kind of cool, more nerd than a glasshole
Looks like my grandpa glasses back in the 50s
Omggggg. I am so jelly. I want to try them!!!

I’m curious about the comment about the processing puck connecting to the MacBook Pro. I wonder if some processing is being offloaded to MacBook.
So it appeared that the Mac was being used to both monitor what I was seeing and to run the demo. For example when it was time to play the game I didn’t select anything, it just started for me. And I assumed that the person on the computer was prompting the system to start. But it is very unclear is anything processing was being done for the device on that Mac.

AR glasses are the best type of consumer tech I’ve ever used.
I’m excited about the eye tracking. If it’s great in this item then they definitely are putting it in the next quest headset.
Love your videos and your channel Becca
Would it work for people with non-stereoscopic vision?
Hey becca how does the eye tracking compares to something like a vision pro?
It felt right on par with AVP. Like with that headset, I forgot all about it within a few minutes, and looking to select felt oddly natural.
I'm with you on this, Becca, interested but skeptical. You said it best, "eye bezels"! 🤓
🤣biggggggg eye bezels!
LOL @@BeccaFarsace, I mean, we're in Morty Seinfeld territory here! static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Morty-Seinfeld.jpg

If this form factor can be smoothly integrated, the use cases are already conceivable
Very well done, edit, footage and audio on point! ❤
How do you use these if you have actual glasses on?
Great Q! prescription lenses? contacts?

Fantastic video! Next, Google Project Astra!
Awesome video Becca :) Just to point out that Quest 3 does not have eye-tracking. Quest Pro does. Keep up the good work!
fffff THANK YOU! Here is to hoping they don’t start calling this Orion, Orion 2, then drop a Pro, and then the 3.
@@BeccaFarsace true 😄
Can you make a video on fujiflim X-M5
It would be cool if you could some day do a video on youtube's AI thumbnails. (I've seen 2 for this video already and will keep an eye out for more!)
A minute ago? well I clicked as soon as it was 49 seconds yo! hey Becca!
I thought it was a Batman´s Carrie Kelley Robin fan/cosplay video, until I´ve read the title
I think in the long term all of Meta’s AR/VR endeavors will fizzle out into nothing, they don’t have the apps that matter. Don’t get me wrong I love my quest 3 (for gaming), but will ditch it immediately when the Apple Vision Pro becomes more affordable.
Looks very promising. However, if it's anywhere as close to $10,000 it's a no go.
I think iFixIt shoutout wasn’t that far off. The killer app of AR seems like scaffolding style tutorial or visual aid when you’re doing whatever.
Speaking of sponsors like Notion, how can you tell real sponsor emails versus fake ones? I get so many fake sponsor emails. Sky guidance?
Best part of this video? Your Notion tell all.

The glasses are comically big
I support the channel, really I do... but the ratio of over 2 minutes of ads for just over 5 mins 30 of content feels off.
Why do they keep pushing AR glasses? It’s like they have some weird obsession with getting all up in our vision.
