So this is like Alexa in glasses with a band that lets you do things without speaking? Sounds like a cool technology. I can see how it is useful for sport (bike riding, running, etc; hopefully people don't use it while driving), but to be honest, not something I'm too excited about buying. It feels more of the same.

If you’ve ever used the current Meta Ray Ban and AI, this almost exactly happens when the connection is bad. Pure confusion but the AI still tries to give you an answer.
I bet the device hardware is small/cheap and susceptible to interference

#43Very interesting. And also, I hereby ban them in our office. Thou shalt not wear spyware while looking at the screens that contain our company IP.
So, no smartphones in your office?
Edit: Lmao, fake downvotes while another comment which is essentially the same gets upvoted. The veil has been lifted :D.

Do you also ban cellphones in your office? And email? Text messaging?
If an employee wants to steal your IP, they will.

It’s the WiFi, ya sure.

#46My neighbour is gonna buy this one as well and I bet it’s going to end up in the same junk drawer as the last one.
It seems like a pattern that Meta hardware usually sells relatively well, but then struggles with user retention. It happened with the Quest and so far it's happening with the glasses too. People like the idea of the products much more than the reality of actually using them. https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/3/23818462/meta-ray-ban-stor...
Good point.
OTOH, for me the Quest killer app is Ace. I can practice pistol shooting any time I want, which keeps me using the headset every day. For the glasses, the killer app might be translation. Now, I couldn't say if that will 'translate' into widespread user retention, or — like Ace — only really keep a smaller community engaged (I don't think most users need translation services on a regular basis).

#47Well, Apple might be Cooked (pun very much intended). Tim is apparently very focused on AI glasses, but here is Meta with display-enabled glasses a year before Apple is planning to release anything.

#48It's weird that they give a figure for PPV but not FOV. That tells me that the FOV must be pretty terrible

I can’t find this demo. Am I blind??

Re: Meta Ray-Ban Display
#50> you can accomplish everyday tasks—like checking messages, previewing photos, and collaborating with visual Meta AI prompts — all without needing to pull out your phone. Why do I need to pay $800 for this? I already paid a grand to have a phone disrupt my every waking moment!
this include the band which is also pushing the envelope of HCI
