I have a magic eye and a magic hand: two days with Meta Glasses

The first two days to wear the edge of the bleeding in Meta Ray-Ban viewsWho has just gone For sale for $ 799She feels strange and wonderful like any technical experience. Sometimes, I suffered from magic, at other times frustration. It fills me with questions.

after Exhibition A few weeks ago in Meta Connect, I canceled my pair collection of glasses at home, and we fasted with the guaranteed nervous wrist, and a pigeon. It is difficult to find glasses, even if you are ready to buy a pair, but I am really excited to test them myself. Below my first thoughts before a full review. Feel the future Full of capabilities.

This nerve wrist is everything

Glasses are very similar to dead Ray Ban current and Oakli glassesBut with an additional layer of the reaction of the screen that is controlled by a sensitive wrist. This screen can be called using a dual click of my middle finger and thumb, and controlled by more gestures.

Remember me the high -resolution screen in one eye Google GlassWhich I tested in 2013, but the wrist brooms distinguishes Meta glasses. It is used electrical To measure nervous impulses on my wrist with a group of electrodes and respond to the gestures of my hands. This is the part that makes all this feel the next level, and it is something you want to show to your friends.

I was worried that gestures would be difficult to remember after the first show, but I was modified in one day. The trick is that these taps, fingers and wrist are all in one hand. It means choosing an application on the Heads-UP screen to scroll with your thumb on the grip of a spiral ball, then click with both fingers to select it. The manuscripts feel strange, and I hope I can just look at something and benefit.

Glasses are chunky but elegant, imho

I hope these glasses are made to fit my eye prescription, which I don’t do now (I wear contact lenses for this review instead). But the bright black tires that I try are a kind of chick glasses that I love personally. The design feels ingenuity, installment. Thick arms have elegant hinges, and comfortable nose platforms. I was worried that the internal lenses would be very reflective, but they are fine. I also love the collapsed charging state that has its own battery.

For the record, my family does not agree. My child is not a fan of how they look at my face, nor my wife. I still love them.

The screen looks good, but it is small and ghost

Whether inside or outdoors, thanks to the transition lenses that help the background glow, the display screen ends well for me anywhere I go to. It is small but very readable, and only in the right eye … which makes it feel a ghost. It appears from time to time upon request and then fades slowly until it is called again.

The evidence of the waves in the lens that expects the screen is very hidden, a series of lines on the lens and a faded thin correction. You can barely see them, but at a certain angle, my child could see my cross shining a little. Also, in some corners, the correct lens can throw repercussions in my vision a little, such as the spread of the lens.

Random, magic and strange moments of my test

The screen felt a stranger and brutal on a few occasions.

Walking in the garden, I saw some geese. I approached calmly and pulled the camera with my fingers, saw my camera lens, pied and turned my fingers to enlarge and get a closer snapshot. Meta widths can be reduced upon request, but it is a narrow digital zoom scale. I would like to get better cameras, but Zoom is still effective, and you cannot do anything like that.

I am double to ask artificial intelligence about books in a library. I got a popup and descriptions. False, where I can capture the book and look at it as well. But I found the summaries more useful, sometimes, than just listening to the sound.

I operated the direct illustrationAnd when my wife spoke, I saw her comments floating on her. The illustrations were not completely accurate, but they are often close enough to help me if I couldn’t hear them.

I was shocked because I was able to drive with the screenAnd Meta does not make any recommendations to cancel the screen activation when driving. This worries me frankly.

I have also tried glasses of glassesWhich displays local restaurants and cafes and can do navigation for walking, but not next to me now. So I looked for some cafes for fun. To date, no comparison with Google Maps on my phone.

Some amazing restrictions to start

I am amazed by a promising thing like a pair of glasses and the magic band that can call things without checking your phone, as this is almost not a drug addict on everything that my phone possesses.

You cannot watch movies on that, nor focus on the ability to stay on anything other than illustrations, fast texts, or perhaps common Instagram ball. You can’t look at Facebook, Topics, Internet or Email. I went back to my phone.

The battery life is also limited

As I like the idea of ​​the nerve band, I don’t like something else. The battery Omar says on the width glasses up to six hours, but for me it was more like three to four. This is restrictions on a pair of glasses that I want to wear throughout the day, and shorter than the standard Gen 2 Meta Ray-Bans.

The nervous band continued for a full day on charges, but you need to charge it too. It contains a magnetic pin cargo cable such as Fitbit, while the glasses charging box contains USB-C, but glasses should be in the event of shipping.

I almost forgot to charge the band last night. Now, I monitor the battery life every day for my system, wrist, phone and smart watch glasses. It seems a lot, and that the nervous range is not used in anything else but the glasses control now.

I will have deeper ideas in a complete review, but I am currently, I am continuing to test the continuous realistic life test.
