Meta Ray-Ban Practical Show: Magic and Business

Smart glasses have been tested nearly a decade ago. At that time, one of the questions I asked more than others is “Oh, but can you see anything in it?” For years, I had to explain that no, such glasses are not yet present.

This is no longer the case. While I saw a group of glasses during the past year that contains a kind of width, the Meta Ray-Ban Show is the closest to the fulfillment of what many people imagine when they hear the phrase “smart glasses”.

In order to be clear, they do not provide a kind of an over as possible with Meta’s Orion. In fact, Meta considers that “artificial intelligence glasses” is a completely separate category from AR. The screen is only on one-lens-and-sewing field of 20 degrees smaller than 70 degrees on Orion. This may seem like a major compromise, but it does not seem to be one.

The individual screen looks more practical for a pair of glasses that you want to wear every day. You are supposed to be something you can look at when you need it, not a permanent overlapping. The smaller size also means that the screen is more clear, at 42 pixels per degree. This was especially noticeable when I was walking outside with glasses; The images on the screen looks more severe than inner light, thanks to the features of automatic brightness.

I also can not see any light from the screen when you look at someone wearing glasses. In fact, the screen is barely noticeable at all when it approaches it.

There is also a smaller screen that glasses are cheaper, at $ 799, and that they do not look like an AR chicken glasses that we have seen several times. In 69 grams, they are a little heavier and thickened than the second generation copper, but not much. As a person who tried to many pairs of thick black smart glasses, I am happy that Meta offers it in a black color. All Wayfarer tires look wide on my face, but the lighter “sand” color feels upset.

The Meta nerve wrist that comes with the width glasses largely like the range you used in the first model. Uses sensors to detect microscopic muscle movements on your hand and wrist and can translate this into actions within the glasses interface.

It is difficult to describe, but the gestures of mobility in glasses facades are amazingly well. I can see how it can take some time to get used to the various gestures to move between applications, bring Meta AI, and set the sound level and other procedures, but they are some somewhat intuitive. For example, you can use your thumb to scroll along the top of your index finger, such as D-Pad, to move up and down beside. You can raise the sound level and reduce it by sticking to the thumb and finger together and rotating your right or left wrist as if it is a size handle.

It is not a secret that Meta’s final goal for its smart glasses is to replace or replace your phone. This is not yet possible, but a actual display means that you can look at your phone much lower.

The screen can flatten the texts received, navigate with map (for walking directions), and information from your calendar. I also managed to make a video call from glasses – unlike Mark Zuckerberg’s live exhibition attempt during the keyword – it was better than I expected. I was not only able to see the person I was talking about and his environment clearly, but I could run my glasses camera and watch a smaller version of the video on my side.

You have also had a chance to try the conversation focus feature, which allows you to get direct comments for the person you are talking to even in a high environment that may be difficult to hear. There was a very surreal thing about getting translations in actual time into a conversation with someone standing in front of me directly. As a person tries to not look at the screens when I talk to people, I felt a little mistake. But I can also see what this will be incredibly useful for people who are facing a problem with hearing or treating conversations. It will also be great, translations, which Meta AI is already very well.

I also appreciate that the wrist allows you to summon Meta AI with a gesture so that you do not always have to say, “Mita”. It is a simple change, but I always felt strange about talking to Meta AI in public places. The screen also takes another one of my grip for a long time with Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley: a really difficult image framing. But with the screen, you can see a preview of your snapshot, as well as the image after the truth, so you no longer have to take a handful and hope for the best.

I only had about 30 minutes with glasses, so I really don’t know how the screen width could fit with my daily routine. But even after a short time with them, they really feel that they are the beginning of a kind of smart glasses that many people are waiting for.
