I would rather shoot myself than say "Hey Meta" in public.

#582Good news for those who don't want to be caught on camera "The Capture LED lets others know when you're capturing content or going live. If the LED is covered, you'll be notified to clear it." So that's nice.
They didn't say it wouldn't record.
Wow you are right, does anyone know if this still records with the light off or covered?

Subsidized by Meta for getting them more data? I would also imagine that Meta is paying them handsomely for the obvious brand risk here - getting Ray-Bans associated with glasshole behaviour. The Ray-Ban brand is owned by the Italian-French EssilorLuxottica conglomerate. Market cap 74B EUR. (Meta market cap: 770B USD.)
lol, facebook can barely get the glasses to play sound reliably, they aren't spying on you with these glasses.
Facebook/Meta isn't a member of FAANG for nothing

Not necessarily an awesome Instagram picture, but just a picture of some mail you got, a tool you are putting away, any thing you want to record and save.

I am currently in the middle of rebuilding a pair of 6.2L small block Chevrolet engines. By a factor of six these are the largest engines I've ever worked on, and the rebuild is far more extensive than anything I've attempted before too. During the teardown, part of my process (let's not dignify it with "workflow") has been photographing the incredible amount of crap that's been bolted to the engines as I remove piec…
What is there to remember about tearing down an LS motor it's like Lego. It's also completely poka-yoked so it's idiot proof.

Totally different use case though. That's chest mounted pointing down. Sure, useful for some. Perfect for something like cooking. The benefit here I think is a more literal WYSIWYG - what you see is what you get. You see it, you get the photo of it.
Nope, head-mounted.

>> The workflow for glasses (either these or some other hypothetical ones) would involve hitting a button and then having to either speak the command out loud or hit some other button to capture video/audio/etc I was hoping to just say "Hey Meta, start recording". Totally hands free, even while driving or carrying stuff. I thought the whole point is to not have to mess with a phone.
They still need the phone pairing to do all the tracking and telemetry data feeds back to the mothership.
Re: Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
#588The 4 hour battery life will probably save us for a bit, but do you really want to walk around in a world where a bunch of strangers are taking pictures of you just by looking in your direction? I don’t. Who cares about the LED.
You have 0 expectation of privacy in public anyhow.
Re: Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
#589This technology creeps me out. I can’t imagine interacting with someone who’s wearing a pair of these, much less have a conversation. It would be like trying to talk with someone who’s sticking their smartphone in your face.
Better looking and more refined tech, but fundamentally Glasshole 2.0. Zuck is the perfect ambassador after Brin.
Re: Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
#590What I hope happens is that a few people with actual power are caught on camera by one of these things, and feel their privacy was violated, and then consent laws around recording in public change as a result. The ones we have are pretty old, and not ready for the future that is already here, let alone the one that is coming. I'm not holding my breath for this, it's just what I can imagine being the best outcome.
