Re: Meta Ray-Ban Display
#952Just in case someone is working on this type of thing. I will easily pay $1000 for an open source glasses thingy that has a monochrome laser display projecting directly onto my retina. IIRC Bosch and Intel have tried this before and the prototypes never went anywhere so there's probably a really good hardware reason why it's not happening but I want that more than any other hardware, it doesn't even have to be both e…
No display but perhaps you can support these guys and hope they get there: https://mentra.glass/
they do have a display on the glasses

I don't really use them that way. I don't wear them 24/7, just specific situations. Also, there's an LED light on them that clearly indicates when the camera is recording vs. when it isn't.
Could the user tape over the LED light so others won't notice?
No, they're able to detect that the LED light has been covered and will refuse to record. There's users who have taken them apart to try to disable the LED but that's not something most users will do, is likely to break the glasses.
Re: Meta Ray-Ban Display
#954It 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…
I think the recording aspect is cool, since I assume it has that "first person perspective" thing going on that's usually difficult to replicate without a complicated setup. Especially useful for showing or demonstrating stuff with your hands, etc.
On the other hand, I can't fathom why having a permanent screen on your face is appealing... I don't know if I'm biased because I have a few mild neurological issues, and I'm simply not the target audience

There's decorum. You can wear the glasses, but it doesn't mean you should be recording confidential meetings, anymore than you should be recording your partner during an argument. Just because your iPhone has a video function doesn't mean it has to be on all the time.
Correct, but isn't the entire point of these glasses to make life easier. Of course I would ask for permission, and I'm 99% sure they would say no, but what if I'm actually interviewing for the AR team ? What better way to embrace the product than to use it ?

The manufacturer of a blender doesn't want you blending your tv remote or your hamster.
Just because you're using the product doesn't mean it's desired usage.

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…
This reads a bit like like a pre-PC take: "Why use a computer when a cookbook works fine?" Imagine it’s 1992: Cookbook: Open book, follow steps. PC: Turn on tower, wait for DOS, fiddle with floppies, pray the printer works, hope the shareware recipe isn’t weird. Not saying you're wrong but its easy to miss the big picture
No? Because traditional cookbook (paper or digital) is deterministic and LLMs are not.

For me it's not so much about what those glasses could do for me if I were to wear them... It's what they do to me if someone else wears them.
Watch Zuckerberg proudly showing how his hand gestures are hardly noticeable. So, so creepy. I wouldn’t be surprised if people wearing these would get confronted, denied entry or beaten up regularly. I can even totally see them ray-banned legally. At least in the EU. Much less with external video processing. Although I love the idea of AR and the cyberpunk flair, I don’t think these will be a thing because of privacy…
Google Glass was a loud, clunky script, whereas these are a stealthy, AI-powered rootkit hiding in plain sight. The fundamental change isn't the hardware, it's the social engineering masterstroke of weaponizing fashion to make the public willingly install a backdoor to their entire life.

Agree - basically tech that can see what people do, is creepy.
and as you suggest - others can engage, but we don't control that.
Currently, it's somewhat obvious, but what happens when the tech is totally invisible?
That day is coming very soon, within a decade, max, and you have to imagine every thing you ever do, in any place - even in the dark, is recorded.
Arthur C Clarke, and Stephen Baxter wrote a book about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Light_of_Other_Days
Well worth reading, imho, but it does explicitely ignore the concept of a higher presence, which is noteworthy

Do you have the same musical taste as your wife? I have a bone conduction headset that I use for cycling. Podcasts and ebooks sound fine, and some music is acceptable (a lot of classical, some pop and folk). Anything with bass just sounds like garbage though - don't bother with any hard rock, hip hop, or anything else with bass.
Which bone conduction headset do you have?
I tried out hers to see if I liked them, and am not sure which make/model it is. I'll ask her when I get a chance. I do remember her saying they cost about $125 so not cheap, but probably not high end either

The tech demo is literally a guy trying to cook with these.
Presumably a chief could use AR in the future to cook better.
Why wouldn't a programer? And by extension, an interview should show how you'd behave at work.
Your right by the way, but what if the future is AR all the time ?
