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.
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 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?
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.
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 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.
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'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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 10:5410:5410:5410:54
The sensor is actually sideways, so it's not likely they will offer landscape natively. But in my experience, the quality is good enough that unless you need super high def, you can just capture a sixteen by nine crop and it works fine
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
The transitional glasses are worth the extra money to me. Sunglasses hut had buy a pair get the second pair 50% off. I paid full price for the Metas and got 50% off polarized prism Oakley Holbrooks. Oakley’s are for driving and Metas are for casual wearing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Two things: 1. There's only one camera, the other side has a light sensor and led light for privacy reasons 2. I understand your dilemma of only wearing sunglasses when you go outside on a sunny day: my solution was to order them with transition lense but also no prescription because I barely need any prescription myself 3. New update let's you record up to 3 minutes continuously :)
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!
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.
I've been saying it for a long time, but VR/AR is the form factor we will be using with ai. It's perfect. It combines real world data and digital data in an almost seamless way. It does so in a way that smartphones aren't as good as, or in the near future it will be that way
@@brianWreaves Oddly enough, that will be your world too. Just as modern society has adopted smartphones as a necessity, XR will be too. Perhaps we can move away from the advertising model, or maybe we are stuck with it. Either way, the use cases for the advanced version of these combined technologies will over shadow the poison of advertisements, the same as how you swam through the sea of ads to be on your device to reply to me. Smart phones will be useful in this new age for quite a while, but XR devices will become a better version of that, and as people realize this, smartphones will die off as flip phones did/are. Like flip phones can do what smart phones do, but it's a much more inferior piece of tech....
@@brianWreaves Then you must be old 40+ Im imagining. People tend to fear what they don't understand... Technology has only been a net positive for mankind. That's cute that some hipster millennials are trying to go against the grain... I'm guessing they are taking some sort of stand against the "dangers" of social media, which a smart phone is much more than a social media device...it's also a very convenient banking system... I say good luck to them using T-9 and a tiny screen to achieve that...
You can order replacement lenses from Apex lenses that are transition, or just blue light blocking. There is also an option to add your prescription to them.
As a daily glasses wearer, I'd be concerned about the charging pad location. The nose bridge is often the dirtiest place on glasses as it slowly slides down over the day and scrapes oil and other gunk from your nose, which is already a place ripe with oils. I'm hoping that the next location they choose will not be one with constant face contact. :)
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.
The Ray-Ban metaclasses are able to interact with your phone. You say on the video that you can only use WhatsApp or messenger. That is incorrect. You can make calls, second send messages, and activate your personal assistant like right from your phone to perform other tasks. You may want to Test things more thoroughly.
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.
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.
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??
"I had to do hard reset on my sunglasses, and then..." !! I'm living in this new world, but still can't believe it. Ten years ago, such a statement would have been absurd. Nice to know, though, that with all the recent advances, companies are still using buyers as beta testers who get 'blue screened.' ;- )
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)
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.
Simple solution to your "form factor" problem: Get the glasses with simple glass lenses - not sunglasses. You can then get clip-on sunglasses if you want sunglasses (just like people with prescription lenses do). Since there are two cameras, can it do stereo 3D photos? I would love to see a comparison/contrast to Google glasses.
I wonder if you could set up these glasses to link up to a local llama model? It still feels creepy to have this AI watching and recording everything in a proprietary system, especially after the Microsoft recall demo. Even if the data is stored locally, it's still open season for hackers and feds. (Remember the Apple photo scanning feature that sends photos to feds if it detects illegal images?) Police state when?
Limited AI Functionality: The AI features, such as asking questions and getting real-time responses, rely on an internet connection. Poor Wi-Fi means these functionalities will either be slow or unavailable. Photo and Video Uploads: Importing photos and videos from the glasses to the app requires a stable internet connection. With poor Wi-Fi, this process will be slow, interrupted, or may fail altogether. Real-Time Information: Features that require real-time data, like weather updates or identifying objects, will only work effectively with a good internet connection. Software Updates: Keeping the glasses’ firmware and the companion app updated requires downloading data. Poor Wi-Fi can delay these updates, potentially affecting performance and security.
No HUD,AR or VR in this form factor is a deal breaker for me. I'd buy them if they had that. Agents would be great but by the time we have agents that can do what most people want we won't really need UA-camrs giving us reviews either lol. No one will have a job. I can't wait for abundance.
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
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...
AI earbuds with an image sensor would be perfect. I’ll wear my earbuds all day and night, and the cameras on my ears would have a better FOV than my eyes.
The missing OS ecosystem disadvantage is the reason why Meta are developing their own VR OS :) (that will be made available to any product manufacturer)
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
They could implement a "tech" solution to glasses tint. Obviously photoreactive lenses are not new. In sunlight they darken until you go back inside. I had them in the 1980's. They could also have lenses that are compound and one half of the lens - split so that it is really two lenses in a sandwich - where one "slides" or adjusts its relative angle to make the light moving through them change so that the lenses darken, as a feature. It could be a cool new "thing" about these gizmos. Every new gizmo needs all the "things" it can get. We want feature-packed with flawless performance. We want 007. ♠
Hey Matthew, great video. I've ordered my Ray Ban Meta glasses and I should be receiving them soon. I have a question that I'm hoping you can help me with. Can I create a personal context window for my ray ban meta glasses ai assistant via the setting on the Meta View App? That way it can answer my question based upon data that might not be generally available?
Am I the only one that remembers “Google Glass” from 10 years ago? People with them rapidly became known as “Glass-holes”. Secretly recording video in inappropriate situations. Thinking Meta doesn’t want to know everything it can about you to sell your information. What a dreamer.
If they provided programmers with the ability to create custom tasks through their own apps or an API, allowing for automated processing of images or video streams and executing diverse actions based on the stream input, then count me in for a purchase! Until then, I'll be eagerly anticipating a company to step up and offer such a solution :D
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?
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!
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.
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’m not a fan of transitions. They never get dark enough and they don’t get clear enough quickly enough.
Transitions don't work in the car. They're triggered by UV which car windows block.
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.

There is just one camera on the left side. The other side is a LED light XD
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 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.
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.
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.
Surely you can get them with Photochromic lenses so you can use them both in- and outdoors?
eventually this will be merged with the Quest and I'm excited for it.
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??
One camera my guy just one
Yep
how can i get a sample for testing?
"I had to do hard reset on my sunglasses, and then..." !! I'm living in this new world, but still can't believe it. Ten years ago, such a statement would have been absurd. Nice to know, though, that with all the recent advances, companies are still using buyers as beta testers who get 'blue screened.' ;- )
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)
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.
Simple solution to your "form factor" problem: Get the glasses with simple glass lenses - not sunglasses. You can then get clip-on sunglasses if you want sunglasses (just like people with prescription lenses do).
Since there are two cameras, can it do stereo 3D photos?
I would love to see a comparison/contrast to Google glasses.
the second hole is just recording indicator LED that looks like a camera for symmetry
Matt, just wait for Oakley. They are not playing games.
I wonder if you could set up these glasses to link up to a local llama model? It still feels creepy to have this AI watching and recording everything in a proprietary system, especially after the Microsoft recall demo. Even if the data is stored locally, it's still open season for hackers and feds. (Remember the Apple photo scanning feature that sends photos to feds if it detects illegal images?) Police state when?
Limited AI Functionality:
The AI features, such as asking questions and getting real-time responses, rely on an internet connection. Poor Wi-Fi means these functionalities will either be slow or unavailable.
Photo and Video Uploads:
Importing photos and videos from the glasses to the app requires a stable internet connection. With poor Wi-Fi, this process will be slow, interrupted, or may fail altogether.
Real-Time Information:
Features that require real-time data, like weather updates or identifying objects, will only work effectively with a good internet connection.
Software Updates:
Keeping the glasses’ firmware and the companion app updated requires downloading data. Poor Wi-Fi can delay these updates, potentially affecting performance and security.
Great video, thank you!
Do the glasses get darker if the (sun)light is brighter and the other way around?
No HUD,AR or VR in this form factor is a deal breaker for me. I'd buy them if they had that. Agents would be great but by the time we have agents that can do what most people want we won't really need UA-camrs giving us reviews either lol.
No one will have a job. I can't wait for abundance.
Are they AirPods substitute? For people who’d wear them all the time to make calls or listen to music/videos hands free?
I use mine for listening to Apple Music and the Calm app, I haven’t tried making calls on them yet
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 would have liked a live demonstration and some example pictures from the device.
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
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...
AI earbuds with an image sensor would be perfect. I’ll wear my earbuds all day and night, and the cameras on my ears would have a better FOV than my eyes.
When you take video, is it also in vertical format? Great video Matthew!
yup.
Just bought these on Amazon today, I’ll get them tomorrow. Got transitions so I’ll have AI on me at all times
I hope some time in the future users will be able to set up their smart glasses to their own locally ran ai model
The missing OS ecosystem disadvantage is the reason why Meta are developing their own VR OS :) (that will be made available to any product manufacturer)
So who do you get to put in the prescription?
Anywhere. Ray Ban is Luxxotica, so you can go to any Ray Ban or Lenscrafters, but any optical shop can do it.
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
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.
They could implement a "tech" solution to glasses tint. Obviously photoreactive lenses are not new. In sunlight they darken until you go back inside. I had them in the 1980's. They could also have lenses that are compound and one half of the lens - split so that it is really two lenses in a sandwich - where one "slides" or adjusts its relative angle to make the light moving through them change so that the lenses darken, as a feature. It could be a cool new "thing" about these gizmos. Every new gizmo needs all the "things" it can get. We want feature-packed with flawless performance. We want 007. ♠
Hey Matthew, great video. I've ordered my Ray Ban Meta glasses and I should be receiving them soon. I have a question that I'm hoping you can help me with. Can I create a personal context window for my ray ban meta glasses ai assistant via the setting on the Meta View App? That way it can answer my question based upon data that might not be generally available?
They do sell transition lens version. You can use indoor and outdoor
Matt over estimated my effort in the title. I wasn't thinking anything about why he likes them.
Am I the only one that remembers “Google Glass” from 10 years ago? People with them rapidly became known as “Glass-holes”. Secretly recording video in inappropriate situations. Thinking Meta doesn’t want to know everything it can about you to sell your information. What a dreamer.
If they provided programmers with the ability to create custom tasks through their own apps or an API, allowing for automated processing of images or video streams and executing diverse actions based on the stream input, then count me in for a purchase! Until then, I'll be eagerly anticipating a company to step up and offer such a solution :D
I have been telling people before two things that AI can be adapted super fast is Hologram and Sun glasses
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?
Oh wow, you are like the dude Jessepig man killed in breaking bad
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!
They're not for me, but I appreciate the honest review 👍
Why didn’t you get the transition lenses?
Can you add time stamps?
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.
Google glasses with AI integration would be a game-changer. I think google too early come with glasses.
