>Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are designed to help you look up and stay present. With a quick glance at the in-lens display, you can accomplish everyday tasks—like checking messages, previewing photos, and collaborating with visual Meta AI prompts Can you imagine trying to talk to someone face to face, but they are giving you a blank stare as random notifications and tiktok videos are being beamed inbetween their eye…

In my culture it’s considered extremely casual — and therefore quite rude in social situations other than the most private and familiar — to talk with someone while wearing sunglasses. I can imagine the same thing would apply to AR devices too.

What you describe sounds like it could be a real problem, but one I’d blame on rudeness rather than Meta. We already live in a world where people order coffee while reading E! news on their phones.

Meta locked two games I already paid for - Blade & Sorcery VR and Beat Saber - behind account verification on the Quest 2. I already bought both of these, played them for a while, but now it won't let me use the headset without "verifying" my facebook account by sending them a photograph of my drivers license. Neither of these games are online, neither allow me to interact with other users in any way. I will never bu…

This, plus the fact that if you dig deep enough into your google account you'll probably find an audio file with you saying "really? I can't play this game? Fuck you facebook, never buying your gear again" recorded from your android phone without your consent or knowing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

ending sales is not the same as ending support; use the correct dates!

I used the correct dates, at least the text is copied/pasted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculus_Go At least they released an update in 2021 that allows people to "root" the device so it won't rely on the cloud services anymore -- a pretty rare occurrence for abandoned products!

John Carmack was the driving force behind this!

Wonder why they don't optically refocus the display at a distance? There are ways to do stuff like this.

The people working on these things likely don't use the end product.

lol, probably the bane of every industry.

You spelled ads wrong.

They have a brand problem. Absolutely no way I buy anything from Meta.

100% this. I'd love to have some of these features in eyewear, but there is no way in hell I purchase anything like this from Meta. Less those bastards get of anything I control (data, finances, time) the better.

You’re about to be in a world where your consent is totally out of the picture with Meta releasing this product and people will be recording you all the time now and sending that data directly to Meta where they can then build models about where you are, who you’re with, what you’re doing and what you are talking about and all without providing you and way to opt out other than breaking the glasses when you encounter them in public.

Meta has close to 4 billion people worldwide using one or more of their products. Their brand problem doesn't extend much further than the HN comment section.

> Meta has close to 4 billion people worldwide using one or more of their products. If you ask any of those 4 billion people if they know WhatsApp is related in anyway to Meta, your answers will be split between "no" and "what's a Meta?"

and do you think they will stop using Whatsapp if they know Meta is the parent ?

Now imagine people driving at 130km/h with a 4 ton SUV with these things...

The above post didn’t even load for me because I have all of their domain names DNS blocked at my router and in NextDNS on mobile.
