What implications does this have to recording conversation you have with others? I for example live in a state where both parties need to give consent.

The vision here is much more ambitious than a smart watch, and it probably helps them to introduce it as something that doesn't compete with the Apple Watch / Google Pixel Watch / Samsung Galaxy Watch. The neural wristband is meant to go on the right wrist, so potentially it could complement a more traditional smart watch, or pair with some future Meta smart watch.
I'd buy it if I could use it as a dumb bluetooth keyboard. As it stands he's ambitious for a vision that has no use in my life—I'm generally trying to escape digital interaction, not constantly immerse myself in it.
It'd be interesting to try it as a regular keyboard too. Probably a bit too imprecise even for skilled users, but who knows.
And if you really get into them, maybe it's worth spending the time to learn chords instead, like for a court stenographer?

#883> …based on data from nearly 200,000 consenting research participants… They had to clarify it was “consenting” since it’s the opposite of their normal default. (You also have to wonder how consensual it really was.)
It made me want to go back and check their other press releases to see where they did not include the "consenting" part.
Re: Meta Ray-Ban Display
#884It seems like there are a lot of negative comments about Meta's glasses which is surprising to me as a regular user. I bought these both in clear and sunglasses and I love them. I've recorded some of the most amazing videos of my baby with them. Listening to music is fantastic as it's different from regular headphones since you can still hear the world around you — I've even done a few longer bike rides with them and…
These things have cameras and mics in them. Am I the only one concerned about people walking into every space with surveillance systems that are capturing us and sending that data to some random set of companies who have no obligation to keep our information confidential? How can I have a conversation with a friend wearing one of these? And surely workplaces will ban these?
Forget friends - random strangers in public. The slightest hesitation to "praise DJT" and you'll end up on the dox/fire/harass list.

So META now has videos of your baby. Let that sink in. Hope they were clothed at least. People never learn. One day your children will be your judge when they are grown up, when they realise what you did to them. I hope it was worth it.
As someone with a very opinionated 11 year old nephew (so he grew up in the time of ubiquitous social media and he is getting to the age where he starts to understand its upsides and downsides) - I dare say that most children don't hold any grudges against their parents for making digital images and videos of them as babies and storing those on cloud platforms.
Totally depends - both my teenage daughters are VERY gunshy of photographs in general, and social media especially. We stopped posting anything relating to them ~8-10 years ago. If we were avidly sharing, they would hate us for it.

Because kids sure hate putting pictures on instagram...
Some do, some don't. Not all kids are the same.

your 11 year old nephew is not grown up

And yet users here were super bullish at how Apple was reinventing AR/VR with their visor flop 2 years ago.
Honestly, as someone who is not particularly pro Apple but bought (and returned) the Vision Pro, I cannot stress enough how much you need to try it out.
The issue with the product is entirely the lack of an ecosystem - the interface is unbelievably polished. The eye tracking & finger touch to click feels absolutely perfect. It really did feel like living in the future.
I returned it because the security policy at my work didn't allow me to pair it with my macbook, otherwise I would be using it all day every day.

Doesn’t that make the wrist accessory the important part? The chunky glasses look like they’re still too early, not enough tech.
i was disappointed they didn't say you could connect it to other devices too. I would buy it just as a bluetooth keyboard!
Would you have to give Meta a non-exclusive license to every work generated using it as well? HARD PASS.

Nobody cares, and everyone loves the candid videos I take with it
Seems like things have changed since Google Glass was released. When they were first released, I remember there was a huge pushback against them because of the cameras they had. Some businesses would even ban you from entering if you were wearing them
10 years ago, I hated the idea of Google Glass, voice assistants, cloud doorbells, and their ilk. I thought the privacy zealots were reactionary but the general premise still was a bit icky - a little bit for the privacy, but mostly for the "weird nerd stuff" stigma.
5 years ago, I acquiesced started to let voice assistants into my home, thought the first edition of Meta Ray Bans were cool but not for me, and generally started to feel like these things were everywhere and nothing bad had come of it.
In the current year, I've gotten rid of all of my voice assistants, carefully blocked internet traffic for my IoT things, got rid of devices without local controllers, and would generally decline to be around someone who was wearing smart-camera glasses of any kind in the same way I'd decline to be around someone who was holding their phone up taking a video of me. The privacy zealots were right, it took some time - but we've learned that tech often isn't our benign anonymous friend. All it took was "tech" (the brand) completing its transition from benevolent cool hip industry to big business just like any other.
