Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses | This is the FUTURE

[@chopsueykungfu]

Got mine yesterday. The update added video for 3 minutes, but 60 sec is good enough for my taste. Hoping the video format will change later!

[@danvirchow]

I am yet to even shoot for more than 60 seconds, so the 3 minute limit is more than suitable for me. Hope you like your glasses!

[@LeesterFlores]

Great review! No fliffity fluff! Straight up info! Thanks! Just ordered my transitions! 🤙

[@danvirchow]

Awesome! Hope you dig them!

[@anothername2730]

Thanks for providing a helpful review.

[@danvirchow]

Thank you! I really appreciate your support! 🙏

[@dougscott188]

I have them in prescription and they work great. I like the camera as an eye for the AI. I like how it can read a sign or page of information and translate it for me. Audio quality is great.

[@danvirchow]

Agree! I find the AI quite useful and handy to have on the daily.

[@kacatley9258]

You get transitions? They get dark enough??

[@dougscott188]

@@kacatley9258 they do pretty good. The big problem is the car. If the windshield is blocking UV they do not get dark as that is what activates it. But I use them for my work with zoom calls etc so the sunglasses part is secondary.

[@iAmAsar]

My favorite tech. Best tech I bought in a very long time. ❤

[@danvirchow]

It's surprisingly cool! Very happy I picked some up.

[@brianfisak5563]

I'm so happy with them.

[@thuyanhngo7256]

Thank you so much for offering rhetorical way to avoid searchable.👍👍👍

[@bryangopan]

Same here , rocking 2 one transition and one charcoal grey dark.

[@danvirchow]

Are you happy having both? Still deciding if I should get another pair!

[@piratetv1]

I wear these every day. I turned off the AI because it kills the battery. Without it i get a lot more time. I take photos of weird stuff all day. The best camera is the one that's already framed up. I always crop the videos 16:9 but not having to worry if im aimed high or low lets me worry about that in post. I made a pocket charger so i don't need to carry the case around.

[@artnelsoncreative]

I understanding the privacy issues, but I think they should give you the option of turning off the light.

[@danvirchow]

@@artnelsoncreative I don’t disagree!

[@amsevo712]

Just picked up my Wayfair glasses on Black Friday. They are awesome. Wanna add transition prescription lenses to mine

[@danvirchow]

@@amsevo712 that’s the way! Optimize the usage 💪🏼

[@robertknull456]

They need an option to take pictures with a landscape orientation. I purchased 2, transition and non transition. I'm going to use this as a language learning aid and also taking pictures while fishing, ( can't stand fumbling with my iphone).

[@danvirchow]

Landscape would definitely be a great option, but as my first pair of these, I'm happy with the options that are available! I'm sure the next generation will have all the things we're all looking for in these.

[@kacatley9258]

Outstanding vid ! Helped me solidify my choice ! Let’s hope for software updates towards better battery life and most importantly landscape mode but otherwise sounds like a great value! Plus, can get Rx lenses ! 👏🏾

[@danvirchow]

@@kacatley9258 battery life hasn’t been an issue for me as I frequently put them back in the case. But landscape mode would be a great addition!

[@etronicworlds]

Great review - you’ve convinced me to buy a pair!

[@danvirchow]

Awesome, I hope you enjoy them! Still fascinated by this tech.

[@christopherwyldeck1992]

Good video. It's worth mentioning that these glasses are suitable for prescription lenses.

[@TubeatzProduction]

Just imagine if they were to chuck in augmented reality technology in the glasses. I believe this will eventuate. That’s when I’ll say we’ve reached the Jetson stage. That’s my thunk anyways. Good day 😊

[@danvirchow]

That is definitely the next huge step! Might be a few years though considering things like the Apple Vision Pro allow for those things but are WAY bigger.

[@ZerocoolsPropsandCollectibles]

Look up the prototype meta ray ban they showed.

Hey Dan, I love the cinematics of your video. Would you be so kind as to explain what camera, settings, and video editing you use? I am starting a tutoring youtube channel and would appreciate this extremely!

[@bryanduran7955]

Hey just a follow up. I ended up watching the whole video. I rarely do that anymore. Great content making. It feel like having a really good chat. Keep up the good work! Thaks for not using the annoying influencer tone

[@danvirchow]

I shoot my KZbin content with a Sony A7C II and a Sony 24mm 1.4 GM lens. I shoot this content in S-Log 3 at 24fps and edit in Final Cut Pro. Hope that helps and good luck on your channel!

[@sweetplaces]

If you put it on your shirt verticaly, will it work? I would like to use it for 16:9 landscape video. I was looking for this idea on KZbin but nobody ever covered it, im really surprised.

[@danvirchow]

Interesting idea! I should test this out.

[@sweetplaces]

@@danvirchow There is literely no video on KZbin using this camera glasses like that. Maybe it does not work for some reason, but at least infromation would be useful. Video name: Filming with meta camera glasses on Landscape format, does it work? Thumbnail: Glasses hung on the collar of a T-shirt

[@alexcarino3274]

The future is this I agree but contacts are the final boss for future computer vision technology

[@gabrielreyes4560]

Do the transitions bother you while shooting during the day? I can’t stand having sunglasses on while shooting. Considering the clears. But since they don’t get that dark…

[@danvirchow]

Haven't bothered me yet while shooting. Keep in mind, I haven't used the EVF of the camera while shooting with these on. I've only shot with the back screen of the camera so that I can see properly.

[@jordanriver377]

How long is recording for videos ?

[@danvirchow]

@@jordanriver377 you can record for 3 minutes at a time. Once that time elapses, you can start another video 👍🏼

[@danvirchow]

[@kacatley9258]

Agreed! Just imagine the next version! 4K! Landscape! Dolby audio! lol 👏🏾 oh and in aviator style 😉

[@danvirchow]

@ that would RULE

[@A1SmileyWiley]

Hey, I'm non-verbal, so can't talk. If I am wearing these glasses, can my partner speak for me and ask meta to do an action like "Hey meta, take a photo"?

[@danvirchow]

Yep! I have been in situations where someone around me has said "hey Meta" and it activated my glasses. I believe there is the ability to have the glasses learn someones voice to so that only your partner's voice would be recognized by the glasses.

[@frankk221]

Is music in ear only like headphones our does it play out loud

[@danvirchow]

It's kind of a combination of both. For the most part, only you, the user can hear the music. If you turn the volume all the way up, someone not wearing the glasses and in close proximity would be able to hear your music but it wouldn't be very noticeable.

[@frankk221]

aspect ratio on camera is a big restriction

[@LEWiSG]

Can you listen to music while recording a video on them ?

[@danvirchow]

You can take a photo while listening to music but if you start a video recording, the music will pause until the recording has finished.

[@Gamingwithslinky]

Really cool concept, but I’m concerned by the privacy implications of Meta (of all people) to be capturing and recording EVERYTHING. Training there AI models, which is legal for the user as they accepted the Terms of service, but begs to question, if everything it’s capturing and collecting on other people (who haven’t accepted the terms of conditions) may want those videos of themselves not to be trained. Not to mention that little light, can be easily covered by someone who may have more malicious intentions.

[@danvirchow]

Totally understand where you're coming from. However, I feel like we as a society gave up our collective privacy as soon as we all accepted smart phones into our lives.

[@JoshGRacing]

What size are those raybans? Lrage or regular?

[@danvirchow]

I got the large version. I had to add some nose grips to them (link in description) because my nose wasn't big enough to hold them up properly. After some time with these, I think I should have gotten the regular size.

[@JoshGRacing]

@@danvirchow Thank you very much!

[@TheIndyguy2000]

I was a Google Glass explorer….the Meta is way by far better than GG…and to be fair GG was development but I agree….Meta is spectacular!

[@danvirchow]

Really excited to see where they take this technology next!

[@HamzaandLove]

I have 2 technical questions, how do I know it fits my face? is there any measurement test I should take? I don't want it to be too tight or too loose. Also, can i buy the regular ones and then have the lens for prescription replaced in regular glasses store? because I'm having tough time translating my prescription in the site

[@danvirchow]

I think the best bet for you would be to goto a store and try on both sizes to see which one fits you best. Also, I believe many glasses stores sell these now and would be able to give you a proper answer about the prescription. But yeah, go try them on somewhere!

[@HamzaandLove]

@@danvirchow Hey thanks for the answer, but I can't that's why I asked :( I live in Iraq and my best bet is to order them online from Amazon, so I don't have the privilege of trying them on or having flexibility if I got wrong prescription

is it worth it if I don't normally wear glasses. like are they heavy or uncomfortable?

@@Moony12338 I don’t normally wear glasses and I don’t find them uncomfortable. I have worn them throughout a day without any pain, but everyone is different!

[@Magische84]

Great vid, they look great on you too

[@bobwoolcock]

What’s the point of having storage in the glasses - why not connect them via bluetooth to your smartphone and use thar storage - and everything else - like Siri on an iPhone. Why duplicate? I thought they would be an external camera, mic, speakers and display with all the processing still happening in your phone.

[@danvirchow]

It's nice to have the storage built in to the glasses in case your phone is out of space. Either way, I find the storage setup handy.

[@dangerkadung]

Battery life?

[@danvirchow]

@@dangerkadung around 4 hours I believe. I’ve never worn them for that long continuously. I frequently put them back in the charging case so I always a have a solid charge. There is also an on/off switch on the inside of the glasses that can be used to preserve battery.

[@sleepup7931]

The only problem with this device is what Meta said "It's not possible to replace the battery inside your glasses or charging case. Learn more about charging your Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and case."

[@danvirchow]

Not having removable batteries in devices is always a bummer, but I would suspect most would upgrade to a newer version long before the battery permanently dies.

@@danvirchow but it not a cheap device either, but they want you to throw it away and buy a new one I guess

[@Bigups5ify]

Finally got a pair. Love the music aspect of these since i dont want to use ear buds or headphones, and be able to take hands free calls with them. Wish the speakers were slightly better with better drivers. I'm sure the next iteration the speakers could be improved, along with phone call volume. In loud environments, i can hear the music pretty decently but calls just seem muffled and distant from my ear given the speaker placement. If youre in a quiet room, sure, you can hear fine, but with sunglasses and being out and about, i would have like the speakers to have more oomph for music and phone call boosting. I only got the sunglasses, but would love to take a scrip version for a spin w/transitions. May see what my insurance can cover.

[@danvirchow]

There are definitely limitations with phone calls compared to earbuds since they provide a more immersive experience. However, I'm still blown away by the ability to take phone calls with glasses at all!
