Has anyone tried them? Now that I no longer need prescription glasses in sunglasses, I am starting to go nuts on buying sunglasses (and smart sunglasses lol). They sound pretty cool for taking snapshots and videos and maybe also for phone calls. What I think would eventually be really interesting would be to have a combination of different technologies, where I could use the (sun)glasses to directly take photos and videos from the glasses, but they would also have an AR display, and (even if not native, but via something like Siri) have the ability to control ChatGPT without picking up my smartphone? Ideally, I would be able to not only hear ChatGPT's answers through the glasses, but also to see the answers via AR display... I don't think anything like that exists yet.
Uh I wanted to post this in the Hangout, sorry. @justtxyank - would you mind please moving it there? Thanks.
So I (as usual) made an impulse buy on Amazon (arriving before 8 am), then I realized I should have gotten the ones with the transition glasses (so that I can use them indoors also). Oh well. Maybe I get two.
I love it. I played OF for 20 years. They would never let me pitch because I could run so well. I can still run but this gray beard allows me to make the youngsters go out there.
There are some serious questions about privacy with them as they make it much easier to record people without consent. They also make it easier to track people without consent. This is really one of those Brave New World technologies where we trade privacy for convenience and novelty. For anyone interested in the potential both positive and negative of this technology the new Brave New World adaption on peacock takes this on.
They have a very obvious LED light on the front that shines very brightly when taking a picture or video. Can't be turned off either.
I am in the market for some new Ray Ban sunglasses as someone took mine on a charging counter at the airport. I’m gonna get me one of these Meta Ray Bans.
And webcams and laptop cams have LED lights too that doesn’t mean they haven’t been hacked or used to violate privacy.
It's actually pretty amazing what you get for like 150 bucks more or so. The glasses pretty much look the same, but you get a pretty good camera, earphones, the ability to listen to Spotify and make calls from your glasses, and with the AI bit, you can look at things and tell it to give you some facts about it, etc.
Is that such technology isn’t foolproof and something as simple as saying “it has an LED that can’t be turned off” is a very thin protection for protecting privacy. Further the technology behind Meta glasses isn’t secret and will be duplicated. There are no guarantees other brands will take the same precautions with it.
There are these new things called smartphone cameras. Do they have big ass red lights that come on when you take a picture? Also, what are you suggesting? MOAR REGULATION?
Some do but smartphone cameras have been hacked and used to violate Privacy. https://us.norton.com/blog/how-to/know-if-someone-is-watching-you-through-your-phone-camera https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/protect-your-privacy-in-mobile-phones/ Also unlike meta glass which is almost always on someone’s face you can see when someone is holding up a smartphone and likely taking a pic or videoing you. because glasses are on someone’s face it makes it more possible to surreptitiously record someone. Yes. With things like this and new expanding technology regulation is needed. I don’t think we’re even caught up with how we regulate smartphones and tablets yet.
