Hi Carrie. You look fabulous as always! So glad that you’re doing a unboxing of the meta-ray glasses, smart glasses. I’ve been waiting for either you or Sam to do one. I know others have done their reviews and thoughts of the product, but, I always like to hear what you and Sam say about products. Sending my love to you and your son and John whole family. Hopefully one day we can play catch-up. Take care. Bye for now and thank you for another wonderful tech video.
Thanks Stephen! I'm hoping to get the full review very soon! It's definitely a great product, but not perfect. They have drawbacks and I'll explain soon!
I'm glad that you finally recognized it and admitted it. The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. Not that you will actually do anything about it but feed into that addiction lol
Hey Carrie, great review is always. I mean unboxing anyway. I always like to see your product videos. I feel like you give your true opinion. Hope you enjoy them, and hope they help you a lot. I'm thinking about ordering a pair myself. Keep up the great videos!😊
Hey Lenard! Thank you so much. It's always my goal to be completely honest in my videos! I'll have the full review soon.. it doesn't have some big drawbacks... like not being able to read and only wanting to summarize and having restrictions on describing images with pictures. Let me know if you do get one and how you like it if you do!
Another great video, Carrie. Thanks. I was delighted with your enthusiasm. I'd love to get them, but they have restrictions on the strength of prescription lenses that can be accommodated and mine are outside of their specifications. Darn. I'll be interested to hear how comfortable you find them when wearing them for an extended period of time. The frames are molded with limited options for adjusting to your face/head. The customary means of fitting molded frames is to heat up the frames and bend them. Since these frames have electronics in them the heating method is forbidden. About the only options for face fitting are to make sure you get the best size and with some nose pad thingies. I look forward to your reports after you have spent more time with them.
I'm planning a while video on it, but it's definitely great so far. It has a lot of uses that aren't just for accessibility. I love that I can take pictures and videos on them and can listen to music and such with it. The AI does have quite a lot of limitations on it though. That's what's very frustrating. It can't read a document, just summarize and it doesn't like to describe people. But it does really well with descriptions and products.
Fun video! I've been seeing a lot of videos on these. Wondering what the sound quality would be like when you're out in public such as a noisy restaurant.
Oh, it could definitely be louder. It can get loud enough for me most of the time, even in a noisy restaurant. But in certain types of noises, it feels harder. For example, lawn mowers or lots of traffic- that type of noise, I relaly struggle with. It relaly would be helpful to have it much louder.
I tested these glasses few weeks. After that bought my own, and next day after I got it I had calition with a pillar, and they compleately damage.. So be carefull they are not so durable. But I really like it, and waiting another one from Amazon. I think, that they was not enough dark for me, so I did not see pillar . because I see nothing in daylight. σo now I got special timted film, I hope everything will be ok.
Oh no! I hope you're okay. Yes, I really like them, too and hope you enjoy the next pair. I got the transition, but it is not dark enough for me. I also have a sunglasses one which is nice, but I kind of wish that it could be on my head without being on my face. haha. Thankfully I haven't broken mine which I'm a bit surprised at, but my mom is always complaining about it being dirty though I can't really notice a lot of the time. lol.
hi, new to your channel & I got the Meta smart glasses also because I am legally blind with nystagmus as well & suffered nerve damage to my neck & head causing further vision issues so hoping these will be of help. subbed 👍
@@carrieonaccessibility I am enjoying them one drawback for me is the transitional lenses don't change unless you're in direct sunlight & I am highly light sensitive & can't do sunlight without sunglasses & wearing a hat the bill apparently blocks them from transitioning I don't feel like the transitionals are good for people with vision issues I still use my actual sunglasses
I'm just thinking of how sweaty my ordinary shades get in the coolness of times before the sun, in this humidity.I'm always swiping my face and eventually having to stop and just seriously take several bounty paper towels to my face, neck, shoulders forearms and hands, then the glasses, in detail. That's after starting out freshly dried at home from the shower with box fans helping me. The walk to the store does this. No matter how I pace myself to try to go slower, in the dark, with a breeze. Those might be better than the sweaty headphones though. Always ordering new ear pads for every headset. I just wonder how well those frames can hold up to my drying off rituals before I can enter a store, or doctor appointment or jury duty... How is the sharp feeling part of the frames now, since you made the video? I would wish I could swim with them on not ducking under water, but alone with no splash fest potential around me, which sometimes happens.
For the sharp edge, It's really not something that touches my skin and it is pretty comfortable for the most part. It's really not something I notice unless I'm feeling for it. It's not that sharp. It's more of a distinctive line. I was just surprised about it more than uncomfortable with it. I constantly put them on and off and up onto my head and down. It's holding up pretty well honestly.
hello Ms scary। My name is Kiran and I am from Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India And for the last two or three days I am watching your youtube channel I watched about 8 videos with you. Your videos are very fashion forward And we get good information from your videos. keep making such videos Thank you
That's a really good question. There's a huge price difference and a huge functionality difference. II think the Ray Ban meta glasses are more worth the money, but the envision glasses probably have more use as someone that is blind.
How were you able to turn up talkback that easily? When I do it, it brings up a menu turn up the media volume, but I can quickly find the accessibility volume slider. Mean while, you just pressed the volume up button. How did you do that?
To adjust the accessibility volume, you can tap and keep one finger on the screen while you use the volume keys. :) It's one of the updates from talkback and you can find info on it in the "what's new" section that pops up after updating and in the talkback settings.
Hi I would like to know first of all I'm totally blind so I would like to know can I use these glasses to read my mail and is it compatible with be my eyes and seeing AI
It is not compatible with any of those apps unfortunately. Perhaps in the future, they will be and that would be really awesome. You can definitely use it completely blind, but it cannot read for you. It will only summarize. Which is definitely a huge drawback.
@@carrieonaccessibility thank you so much for replying to me. I would love to know what do you use? I use fusion jaws and zoom text and looking for editing apps on windows
I have submitted this idea with my doctor. Humanware is a partner with the biggest eruware glasses in the world. Maybe we can get them to build a product with them for people with disabilities and sighted people too. Everybody have a great day and take care of themselves.

I admit nothing. hahaha.
@@carrieonaccessibility you clearly admitted it in the intro. I wasn't the only one who noticed lol
@ToughBeifong I don't know what you're talking about. Smile! Innocent smile
@@carrieonaccessibility okay I see. So you're just going back a stage and are back in the stage of denial lol
cool video. nice unboxing and setup. yep.
Thank you! I'll be doing the full review soon! Thank you!
Holy crap that's so cool, I've also heard a lot about the Meta glasses, this is very promising!
Yes... though I'm finding some drawbacks... but it's still a really great product... especially for the price!
The metta glasses sound interesting
They definitely are! I'll have the full review soon!

Thanks for this review! I have been wondering about these glasses!
Thanks! This was just the unboxing, but I'm working on the review and will have out out soon!
@@carrieonaccessibility Looking forward to it! Def interested in knowing how it handles OCR for the VI.
Oh cool nice job
thanks!
@@carrieonaccessibility no problem

@@carrieonaccessibility Yer"h, everythink perfect now. I am carefull like never before 😀 Thanks for your care.
if these worked perfectly with be my eyes and seeing Ai i’d be that steriotypical blind dude always wearing shades lmaoo
Yes! I wish it could have seeing ai. That's my number 1 wish. Maybe in the future...

Which is best.

Hi Carrie, I use windows and I’m looking for an editing app that is accessible with jaws. Do you have any in mind? I greatly appreciate it.
The one I've always heard about was Reaper. I don't use it though, so I'm not too sure.
@@carrieonaccessibility thank you so much for replying to me. I would love to know what do you use? I use fusion jaws and zoom text and looking for editing apps on windows
Can you use Be My Eyes or be my AI with it? Can you scan barcode?
Not directly. Direct access to camera is limited to Meta apps.
No, you can't use be my eyes or be my AI. It wouldn't need to scan the barcode, it actually does very well with product identification.
I have submitted this idea with my doctor. Humanware is a partner with the biggest eruware glasses in the world. Maybe we can get them to build a product with them for people with disabilities and sighted people too. Everybody have a great day and take care of themselves.
What's Eruware? I've never heard of it. I don't believe Humanware offers smart glasses, but they do have lots of other great assistive technolgoy.
can we do video call with be my eyes vollantiers?
No, there isn't anything like that on it. It would be pretty awesome if it did though!
