Use cases: 1: FPV "how-to" videos are marginally easier to make, though GoPro remains a thing... 2: Users get to look like the nerd emoji 3: The rest seems like creepy-spying-on-friends-or-strangers kinds of things. Any constructive suggestions? I'm willing to be enlightened...

4. On-foot navigation without having to glance down at the phone or watch

5. Being able to converse with friends in loud places (e.g. restaurants have become louder and louder over the years due to bad acoustic design)

The vast majority of users knew nothing about Facebook‘s origins until The Social Network. In the mid-to-late 2000s, the perception was of simply a much better designed, much more exclusive alternative to Myspace. Hard to imagine nearly two decades later, but for a brief moment in time, it was cool to be on Facebook.

Bro we get it. It's been done ad nauseam. It's now the equivalent of putting the dollar sign in Micro$oft. Probably the most relatable thing he's done anyway.

Same. In fact it is significantly better and less distracting than having to glance at the dashboard. Owning a car with a HUD, I definitely miss it in other cars. I recently hired a car where I had to duck under the steering wheel to check my speed!

Next time adjust steering wheel position so it doesn’t obstruct

That is sometimes hard to achieve depending on the car and your height.

I can't wait to read the privacy policy.

A reminder, users cannot opt out of current Meta Ray Bans data recording/storage/training if you actually want to use them as smart glasses.

Smart glasses featuring cameras, a control bracelet, and in-lens displays represent significant technological progress with particularly valuable applications for people with disabilities. The non screen version could be transformative for blind users, while the display equipped model offers great potential for the deaf community. However, there's a notable double standard in social acceptance: while these devices ar…

Why does this read like AI slop?

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…

How do your friends feel when you are having a conversation and you are constantly pointing a camera at them?

Nobody cares, and everyone loves the candid videos I take with it

Interesting. I would have hated it.

Can you imagine trying to talk to someone face to face, eventhough you're not speaking the same language
