I Tried All The AI Glasses (So You Don't Have To)

[@scalemodels4603]

During the 1990s I attended a Siggraph Convention for computer animators - very enjoyable. Most there were young people excited about CGI etc. But there was this one booth, by Sony, where two Japanese scientists were wearing white scientific coats - they could not speak any english, who were demonstrating wearable glasses. When they observed me being interested, they encouraged me (using physical movement - not by speaking...) to try on a pair. And I was STUNNED!!! The glasses were crystal clear, and I could see a computer screen right in front of my eyes in incredible clarity. I could also manipulate a 'mouse' on the screen. Again, everything was soooo crystal clear! I handed back the glasses to these two Sony scientists wearing white science coats. They smiled at me. And I've been looking for these glasses being available on the market ever since. That was back in the 1990s. It's now 2024.

This is pretty incredible to be honest. It feels like we're seeing the first iteration of the next personal computing device. Like how the first "mobile" phone was a suitcase. Or the first laptop was a 11kg backpack. In my opinion the Meta Ray Bans has nailed the form factor, but completely lacks the cisual AR aspect while the Ray Neo glasses is the closest to what I think most people want functionality wise but in a pretty clunky form factor. My intuition is that with how power efficient recent lightweight devices has become (for example the new M4 is so powerful that they had to take significant steps to not make the iPad a direct Macbook competitor), we're going to see the capabilities of the Ray Neo in much better form factors within a year or two. And the world will never look the same.

I love my XReal Air Pro 2. You didn’t mention that they are wearable monitors. I no longer have a room with three monitors. I now have THREE large monitors in my glasses ANYWHERE I go. Freedom. I’m not stuck in my office. These glasses are amazing on a plane for watching movies. On a plane and want to work on your laptop without straining your neck? Confidential info on your computer? Dim your laptop screen and look at everything on the glasses. I’ve found lots of cool things do with them. One day I was watching one of your videos while chopping veggies using the Beam accessory and using sideview mode. I have the special prescription lenses inside them, which have blue blocker. My astigmatism and the light was making my eyes water without them. I don’t want them to be wireless. The glasses are lighter without a battery and one less thing for me to forget to charge. Can you tell I love them? I’m an early adopter. Have you gotten your Rabbit? At least we got it basically for free, assuming we would’ve been paying for Perplexity anyway. sigh… I may get Meta prescription glasses instead of sunglasses. Thanks for your videos.

[@nickgirdwood3082]

[@marsrocket]

@@exturkconner That's good to know. What's the apparent distance of the image they project on the lens?

[@exturkconner]

@@marsrocket To my understanding the image is supposed to look like a 120-140" display at 3 meters or about 9 feet viewing distance. Which equates to about the same as a 65-70" tv at the normal viewing distance of about 6-7 feet away. It's a very useable size for things that aren't meant to have couch friendly interfaces. Like most video games with console play in mind, most media consumption. But when it comes to reading a lot of text it's not the most ideal.

The best thing about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses is that they don't look like tech. Things that look like tech weird your average person out. People were rightfully creeped out by Google Glass, but the Meta glasses look fantastic. So far I've only had one person notice that there was anything different with my glasses.

[@willdwyer6782]

I could see AI glasses replacing hearing aids. Most hearing aids suck when you're in a noisy talkative crowd. If you had a pair of glasses with a camera, an AR screen on the lens for displaying text, and an AI model trained to read lips, that could come in really handy.

[@shukrantpatil]

Thing is most deaf people are very good at lip reading, even many people who can hear are good at lip reading so I don't see an AI glass really creating a great impact, maybe little gadget but that's it

[@mickelodiansurname9578]

There's a set of headphones that isolate someone talking in front of you and cancel out all other sound. However nobody wants a massive pair of headphones on their head all day, and looking at a review video the sound was clear, but also sort of umm.... funky.

[@willdwyer6782]

@@shukrantpatil I'm thinking of a niche use case where something like this might be helpful. I have a friend in her 60s born with genes that have caused her to lose her hearing as she ages. She's too old to learn sign language but she's able to get by using Google Live Transcribe on her phone, but it's awkward. If she could use a similar app with glasses so she can read what people are saying to her without having to break eye contact to look at her phone, I bet it would be an improvement. The problem with Live Transcribe is that it sucks when you're in a noisy environment. I thought lip reading AI using the camera might be a better option when there's too much background chatter.

Sensory substitution can replace hearing aids far better, and eventually will tie into AI anyway for selective feedback filtering - but both have their use cases!

3:18 There's one huge question nobody has answered about stuff like this. How do you safely wash glasses like this when necessary? After all stuff happens, especially if you wear glasses with a prescription on a daily basis

[@zeitgeist888]

Maybe I am an outlier but I want AR glasses that give audio and video turn by turn directions for walking and in car use. Glasses that do translations of word and audio so I can use them when interacting with a person in in a museum on a walk and need to translate a sign or text. The ability to take decent photos of what I am looking at and use the same camera for AI functions. The ability to listen to music, podcast or translation while keeping ears open the rest of the time so no need for ear buds. The very last feature would be a large screen in good quality for watching movies or playing games. Although nice it is far down the list of wants for how I would actually use such glasses. Keeping hands free by not incorporating a cell phone for calls, text or picture taking is where I see an improvement over typical smart phone. Until AR glasses can keep my phone out of hand I don't see them as a viable replacement but just an add on accessory.

Hi, Matt! This is a great review, and thanks so much for posting it. As always we viewers very much appreciate your unbiased views and reports - it helps us keep up with what's out there and available. It seems all the use cases for these AR glasses/headsets are for entertainment and personal use, but what about for more business-oriented applications? For example, how do the various offerings perform if we wanted to sit in our recliner, with a keyboard in our lap and write things in a Word or Google document, or if we wanted to create graphics in Affinity or Canva, or if we wanted to edit a video in DaVinci Resolve or Camtasia? I have always thought it would be great to have that huge virtual screen floating in front of me, so I could do this sort of stuff in greater comfort than a desk chair - or even in the passenger seat of a car while my wife is driving. Maybe you could consider a video soon on how well some of these work in more practical use cases? Thanks for all you do, and take care!

Awesome overview! It seems you neglected to mention which of these (the Raybans are the only "glasses" I know of) that would allow you to have lenses that you could see through if you need a prescription (not counting VR headsets, because they aren't practical as glasses). If someone needs prescription glasses some of those with embedded screens wouldn't be practical (unless they offered prescription versions). Also a tip! If you have health insurance, they may cover smart glasses with a prescription like my Raybans). Much cheaper then!

The best use of an LLM is to get it to summarize EULAs for you! 19:49 "I find myself snapping photos on [the RayBan Meta smart glasses] all the time" Have you heard of Downbube Networks?

I like having erotic roleplay and shit and even I'm sick of every update being more sexy clothing. They need to update the AI desperately along with adding hair that you don't need to pay for. Plus, maybe adding more rooms or pets that aren't ugly or the ability to have Replikas connect.

I don't think you understand the use case for the AR rayneo / brilliant. They aren't to watch KZbin. They are too replace your watch. Instead of looking down at your watch, the display is already in front of your eye. And since the display overlays the real world they have the extra benefit of AR. Except for KZbin, you'll never have to pull your phone out of your pocket or wear a watch.

I would love to hear your opinion on the Vuzix Blade 2's. They're sadly a bit expensive at $1200 and you can get corrective lenses for it for an additional +$150 They only have a screen in a single eye (sadly, I do prefer both eyes) The Vuzix Blade 2 seems closest to the TCL RayNeo X2 that you tried out, though I think they look even more like normal glasses than those (not so bulky). I'm personally looking for a set of AR glasses that look more normal (as much as possible at least) that can also mirror one's phone. Mirroring one's phone while looking relatively normal seems to be VERY hard to find.... I sadly cannot find anything on actual testing of the battery life by any users with numbers all over the place (I would like them to last through a work shift...).

I love to see more AR glasses with something like that ring controller.. or maybe they can make an app for watch for swipe gesture.. would be cool as well i guess..

no review of the new viture pro ?

This makes me so excited for the future. Imagine when glasses with VR180 recording are small enough to look like regular glasses...
