Hi Carl, I've just come across your channel (subscribed now). Thanks for the great review. I've been an adaptive technology trainer for blind people in South Australia for over 20 years. I mostly train and support people with no functional vision using JAWS and VoiceOver. I've seen a lot of blindness-specific wearable tech come and go. e.g. E-Sight and OrCam. This is the first wearable tech I think might really be useful. Maybe because it's mainstream tech that has to speak to you. In the past 6 months, I've been doing more and more training with AI. I tried Chat GPT first, then Perplexity, now I'm working with Claude as the free version allows you to upload images and the important buttons are labelled for screen readers. In my opinion using AI to access information is such a revolution for blind people. Using Google and then trying to figure out a web page is hard but AI just gives you the information as text. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Thanks so much for watching. Yes, I’ve only really gotten into AI quite recently, using ChatGPT in my work environment, and then using Be My Eyes and started enjoying the photo description capabilities, and then I stumbled across these glasses, and they just make it more easier using and pulling out your iPhone all the time. Although Be My Eyes gives you a better more lengthy description of a photo scene, or some apps on the phone can read entire documents, the glasses are focused more on quick answers, summarising things, and getting into the information you need quicker. Oh and by the way, I love Australia, I’ve been there twice, have relatives and many friends there, been in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

I will try and focus on more tech, and more reviews on these glasses as they develop, and I’m trusting met AI will develop the AI as well as firmware for the glasses overtime. My KZbin channel is very informal and is just bits of anything and everything from some of my hobbies to activities.

Carl, thank you so much for putting together this informative review. I have a relative who is blind and I think he would find these glasses quite useful. I hope Meta sees the potential for this technology, with respect to accessibility, and listens to feedback from customers. Oh, and what a cool train!

Thanks so much for watching, and I hope your relative really finds great use out of these glasses. I do believe that Ray Ban or Meter are aware how these glasses have unintentionally grabbed the attention of many blind people and apparently they have been some podcasts where they have been invited to participate and listen for future firmware updates or in terms of met AI considering how blind people would find it useful

Great review. I, too, hope that they loosen the restrictions on people description just a little bit. Just enough for stuff like hair color, etc. It will sometimes say stuff like a person wearing a green shirt and sunglasses, but still. I do enjoy them for color identification and description of my own clothing when trying to match outfits. Product recognition, particularly in the kitchen, is great as well. I don't use Chat GPT so can't compare them in that way, but these suit me just fine, with the caveat that I want more text read from documents word for word.

I am also totally blind and have had mine for going on two weeks. The AI description avoidance for people or clothing is disappointing. I understand the privacy concerns, but realized that by taking a picture I can go off and do the same thing and mostly, I want for my own outfits. I will look forward to future videos and for finding key phrases you may use to get better descriptions of the environment as well as other uses. Thank you.

Thanks so much for watching this video. It is disappointing and I hope they soon lift this restriction on describing people, as every single sighted person who finds out I have these glasses want to know what it says about them🤣 but apparently you can point at the jacket or pants and ask what colour it is, and I believe it will sort of avoid the face and possibly work I will try sometime with somebody.

"The 2nd generation of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, launched last October, have sold more in a few months than the old ones did in two years. A third-generation of the glasses is expected to be ready by the 2025 holiday-shopping season, according to the WSJ report."

call, I followed your KZbin link from the Facebook discussion group, this is a truly excellent review of the glasses, I have had mine since they came out, but I didn't know some of what you know already! Really brilliant Idan and very well edited thank you very much. By the way, I have shared it around different site related groups in Ireland! It will be famous! Thank you 22:12 again, Sandy and her sidekick ZYON

Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I'm glad that you managed to get up close with 3655 to take this video and the sound quality is really good. I've never had the opportunity to do a Simons Town trip behind her as well as get up close with her and I'm really going to miss her as a Ceres Rail and Atlantic Rail loco.
