I saw the keynote, and while everything about the glasses was more or less as expected, seeing Zuck easily navigate the interface and type 30 words per minute while barely moving his fingers was a true WTF moment. If they can actually make the neural interface work that well then Meta has won this round.
It's weird that they give a figure for PPV but not FOV. That tells me that the FOV must be pretty terrible

This is why Jobs spent months prepping for each presentation. But hey, at least it's not all faked
When I was at Meta (then facebook), people lived and died by the live demo creedo. Pitches can be spun, data is cherry picked. But the proof is always in the pudding. This is embarrassing for sure, but from the ashes of this failure we find the resolve to make the next version better.
For an internal team sure absolutely, but for public-facing work, prerecorded is the way to go

i love jobs but i do remember the “everybody please turn off your laptops” presentation. live demonstrations are tough - i wish apple would go back to them.
(admittedly with the recent Android news perhaps non-exploitative mobile computing is about to be dead and buried but shit, I'd lug around a backpack module everywhere running linux if it came to that)

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

We all love to say this, but everyone forgets: Apple has never beaten competitors by being the first – they’ve beaten them by being the best. Personal computers? Apple wasn’t first. Smartphones with screens? Apple wasn’t first. Tablets? Not first by a mile. True Wireless Earbuds? Nope, not at all first. Smartwatches? Hell no, not first. And yet, Apple’s a category leader in every single one of these areas. I don’t th…

Love me some luxottica monopoly pricing!
There's no monopoly. You can buy identical glasses on the side of the street for $10. Except you aren't going to get the RayBan logo, and that's what people are paying for.
