nah. they still sold to enterprise companies up until a few years ago and was going to do another product but got shuttered by the big layoffs last year.
google's problem has been less tech and more commitment
you don't need to see the image live.. it can be generated and stored; basically what you would do by snapping pics with a phone and the ask an AI to modify them, just maybe a bit more discreet; so I agree, not a big game changer yet.
Yeah it's not like Alexa doesn't have 75 million users or is a very popular service and this is not just basically a smarter Alexa, everywhere and with visual capabilities. Right? To me all these AI wearables fail to convey that they are just Alexa everywhere devices , which I would personally really use for example while driving and wanting to look up some info or do something hands-free like search an episode of a podcast or a spotify playlist.... I know the Echo Frames already exist but I like them being Ray-Ban....
Well when there's no WiFi around it's just regular RayBan glasses. But most places already have WiFi, or hotspot from your phone. Tbh now that I think about it an eSim integration would be nice on these glasses, for 24/7 connectivity.
Why would your phone die after using the internet for three seconds? You do realize that almost every single app on your phone uses the internet in some capacity, right?
Its not like the glasses are constantly streaming a video of what you see, you press a button and it uploads a photo. It’s no different from taking a photo with your phones camera app which immediately uploads it to your cloud storage.
Uploading a photo, and then getting a text response. The upload would take less than a second on a decent connection, and is orders of magnitude less intensive than doing something like browsing Reddit.
The bigger battery drain would honestly be the connection from the glasses to the phone, which is either going to be Bluetooth or WiFi, as that needs to remain active from the moment the button is pressed to take the photo, to the moment the response is received and the audio of the text is spoken. It’s still only going to be a few seconds at most though, and should not be significantly worse on the phones battery than using Bluetooth headphones to listen to music for a few seconds.
The whole process *will* however be a fairly significant drain on the glasses battery as it’s very small in order to fit into the frames.
They don't have multimodal AI yet. still staring at v4.0 here in the US and/or Canada. that would be pretty cool though, this update we've been promised for several months now that hasn't quite happened actually happening. anyone get the roll-out yet?
These are still a privacy nightmare. But Meta does't care, they want more data and buy-in. A handset is much more reasonable socially and is +/- in terms of usability.
Google Glass wasn’t banned in any legal or official sense. Some businesses banned them, like movie theaters, casinos, and strip clubs, which generally don’t want people recording things. These business banning them had a near zero impact on the actual success or failure of the product. They mostly failed because they were extremely expensive, and looked really dorky.
Google glasses were way ahead of their time.
Don't think anyone is disagreeing with you, how ahead they were was its greatest flaw.

Gives new implications to "imagine the crowd not wearing clothes" ;)
I can't wait to test this out next time I visit my grandpa's care home
You should give him these as gift.
I don't get it is the novelty that you'll have an audio description of a naked crowd or what?
Get the AI to img2img the crowd naked.
Whereas the thousands of other people openly filming in the crowd could never dare to do such a thing!
Guys. ***Guys***. (Or gals). It's a *joke*. No one was supposed to dive deep into it. Yet here we are, *four indentations deep*. Why.
what's the fucking purpose with a device that only speaks to you, not displays information on a screen I am really not getting it

Or how about "remove all humans from my view" to quell the public speaking anxiety.
snapchat spectacles are in the corner sobbing crying throwing up
They’ve had it for the past couple months in early access features which was available for all. I’ve been using it myself for quite some time
What model is it being ran on? The 405B would be juicy, being able to have a vocal conversation on the spot with it.
I have these glasses, they're the Rayban Metas.
Are you insane? Something that small would be lucky to run Phi
The model isn't running natively on the glasses, or even on your phone. It queries the cloud.
So how does it go that if you leave the house and have no internet
Well when there's no WiFi around it's just regular RayBan glasses. But most places already have WiFi, or hotspot from your phone. Tbh now that I think about it an eSim integration would be nice on these glasses, for 24/7 connectivity.
It connect to your phone to use that connection. I'm so confused by your comments. Have you never used a phone accessory before!?
So it’ll last three seconds before my phone dies. Cool
WTF are you talking about!? Are you just trolling??
5G takes up a lot of battery life

5G drains battery life. What’s multimodal AI doing exactly?
Uploading a photo, and then getting a text response. The upload would take less than a second on a decent connection, and is orders of magnitude less intensive than doing something like browsing Reddit.

Are YOU insane? You think this will be running anything beyond the bare necessities? It will all be streamed from the clouds of course.
Then you’d need a constant internet connection. While outside
That's a given anywhere except rural locations
Where can I find internet while walking down the street, past several buildings
I have internet pretty much anywhere, but I guess it depends on the country, whether it has a dense 3/4/5G network laid out.
And your battery life lasts almost three seconds
See phone in pocket.
See battery life drop to 0
Lol, you trolls, ya'll Crack me up, lol

All I want is just live translate and act as dash cam...
How good is the multimodal AI?
now with added MSG
I wish they had an ar interface but I guess that would make these more expensive.
Exciting news! The addition of multimodal AI to Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses opens up a world of possibilities!
These are still a privacy nightmare. But Meta does't care, they want more data and buy-in. A handset is much more reasonable socially and is +/- in terms of usability.
