But your $800 glasses are exposed to the cooking area with steam, grease fumes, heat etc.
So wipe it. It's not like it's got an air intake.
But microphones and speakers. And what about the cooling of the chips?

> Listening to music is fantastic as it's different from regular headphones since you can still hear the world around you Many earbuds, like Airpods, have transparency mode. The end result is the same…music while hearing background noise. In fact airpods are better because of the ANC mode that tunes out noise except conversation and other “important” sounds. I can also wear airpods indoors without looking like a dork…
I wouldn't want to wear earbuds while doing anything active, the chance of them falling out is too high.
I play pickup basketball and young people play with them in. I wouldn't do that, but they are pretty secure if properly fitted

#793The live demo of this is brutal. https://x.com/ns123abc/status/1968469616545452055
It was painful even before it started malfunctioning

I'm never going to update a photo government ID to some company just to use an app. What kind of a bonkers world are we living in? Totally ridiculous. No app is worth this.
Some sites outsource their ID verification to platforms that want live videos of different angles of your face, along with pictures of your ID. Literally all the data they could possibly need to build 3D models of your face for even better facial recognition, along with plenty of data to train models on. When that data eventually leaks, it will be interesting. It's insane that anyone puts up with it.
It’s likely your face in multiple angles already exists online whether from photos or videos, simply because you were in the background of someone else taking a photo or video. Whilst I align with you in being restrictive in the data we share online, corporations and government with infinite resources likely have everything they need to construct “3D models of your face for even better facial recognition”.

#795I heard an article on NPR, which the interviewed one said the world was now ready for this technology. He said he thinks the "glasshole" opinion of most people has most likely passed. I freely admit, the price and the attitude was what stopped me from getting a pair back then. Now I won't hesitate, although the in-lens display is fantastically intriguing, I'm wondering about safety concerns like: walking down the sid…
id be surprised if my opinion is a common one, but one thing i prefer in ar glasses over phones is that i can take it off
put glasses on, do what i want to do, then take them off. more like a laptop or tablet (or my ps4 jfc) where there is just enough friction to keep it from being overly compulsive
i wonder if any major ar product will embrace that people want to only wear glasses for tasks and want to take them off, or if theyre all going to push toward something one always wears like meta seems to. most successful tech products arent for constant use

#796The specs indicate 6 hours of battery life. Not really something you can use all day.

All the VR/AR/XR demos are so insanely trivial and yet still manage to be much more difficult than current methods of doing things. Like, really, cooking? Normal method: * Search for a recipe * Leave my phone on a stand and glance at it if I forget a step Meta glasses: * Put glasses on (there's a reason I got lasek, it's because wearing glasses sucks) * Talk into the void, trying to figure out how to describe my prob…
On the other hand, having to constantly consult a recipe on my phone while I cook is the main quality of life aspect of home cooking that could be improved.
You're missing the part where I'm reminded that my phone autolocks so I have to go into the settings in the middle of cooking to make it never autolock (or be lazy and unlock it every time I need it). And then I have to find a clean knuckle to scroll the ingredient list and the recipe steps every time I'm trying to remember what step I'm at.
You could do some killer recipe UX with a HUD on some glasses.

> why have mechanical keyboards become so damn popular and not "keyboards on screens?" I mean... have you ever used a phone?
My phone has so far replaced zero of my keyboards.
I doubt that.
It has replaced all of your keyboards every time you ever input text on your phone.

This is such nonsense. The new Batman game on VR has full motion and smooth turning. It's not on rails at all. Games have got better at reducing motion sickness, and players also adapt over time.
The many of us who get motion sickness have simply stopped bothering with VR. Since the market has shrunk anyway after the initial excitement, the few VR games left can afford to be less accessible.
Yeah I appreciate that. There are things like vignetting that can help and newer games do them. But some people will never be able to play them.
Re: Meta Ray-Ban Display
#800There's a lot of hate for Meta in here. They are actually innovating unique new products here. I don't know if they will be commercially successful, but they at least look interesting.
