A better way of saying it would have been that he massively reduced "unintended eyes on screen" time. You look at your phone to do "W", but also end up doing X, Y, and Z, which weren't things you needed to do, they were just mindless busywork or entertainment. For folks like me with ADHD, moving away from constant notifications is a game changer in terms of ability to focus on what matters for long periods of time.

[@mindovermatter1453]

I will commend meta on making a case (a great looking one at that) that actually charges the glasses. Other “smart glasses” makers give a generic case and you have to take out the glasses to charge them on a cable outside the case, its a more elegant a solution to have case also be able to charge the glasses and it makes the price tag abit more digestable

[@asertolentino9147]

Thank you Marcus for making this video. I had been contemplating purchasing a dedicated assistive technology device for blind and visually impaired people for functions like object recognition that was literally an order of magnitude more expensive. Hearing that tools like this are finally achieving a degree of mainstream maturity is terrific to hear. As much as having a phone being an intermediary between you and the world around you was a major inconvenience for most people, it was a transformatively enabling development for blind people seeking greater independence. Replacing it with an almost seamless experience will likely change the lives of millions of people for the better.

[@MarcusCreates]

I didn't even think of the fantastic benefits for visually impaired people. Thanks for sharing that and I'm so happy technology is advancing in the right direction.

New to the channel, and great video! Really nicely formatted, prepared, and presented. I tried out these sunglasses and ended up loving them enough to buy a second pair in prescription-definitely one of my favorite tech products to recently come out (especially when the multimodal AI finishes public beta testing shortly). I will say I was dying laughing when you described “having meta in my head” at 9:10 😭

[@jsb5871]

The presenter came across as authentic and helpful - this coming from someone first checking these glasses out. Appreciate the video.

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks buddy. Doing my best here. 😊

[@trainingday6858]

He largely did. He agreed the sound is pretty rubbish and you need pods to hear people 4:42 , people can hear them when it is quiet 4:50 Disagree about the AI which is poor as it works only 50% of time. Try asking to translate a word into French or another language. IMPORTANT - AI does not work outside the US on these glasses. Battery?? I don't think he covered the fact that the battery lasts about 2 hours with general use, and as little as 1 hour or less if you were out listening to music and taking some video/photos. I would suggest waiting 1 or 2 more year for the next model(s) which should improve these things, or when Headphones integrate the same technology, namely taking images

[@6JWB9]

You've done a great job pointing out all the conveniences as positives, but the reason I returned it after a few days of use. 1. The battery life was too short (4 hours/non-stop and just being powered on drains the battery quickly). 2. The photo quality was disappointing. I took a picture of the car directly in front of me while driving, but the license plate was unreadable. 3. charges pretty fast, but imagine having to carry a bulky case everywhere with you especially in the summer. Other than these drawbacks, I really liked it, but I'll wait for a version with better battery life & pic quality. Hopefully pretty soon...

I have been interested in a smart glass wearable for some time now. It seems like they've finally reached a point where they can be useful in some everyday tasks for me. Even though I don't wear regular glasses, I might try the sunglass version. The Ai integration is the major selling point to me.

I think people like myself will want our own open source LLM's in them instead of Meta's.

Great presentation, Marcus. What's your guess on these glasses recording at 4K with landscape option? For one's own safety in a crowd at night, can the little white light be turned off or covered with a black dot?

[@alastairstaunton7081]

A better solution than weak speakers that others can hear too would be bone conduction, ideal as the frames touch just the right part of the head. When they get this improvement and when images can be projected inside the lenses to replace device screens, I'm in!

[@_morn_my]

I thought this too but after getting a pair I’m now convinced that bone conduction (like the bose glasses) would have been inferior-the speakers on these definitely sound loud and good enough. A lot of people (with an iPhone) complaining about volume seemingly forgot to disable the “reduce loud audio” option in settings

People can't tell the difference between the two on calls. I agree they are very convenient out-and-about by always having the ability to video or snap a photo. I also use them as cosmetically to enhance my 'look.' The other day, I tested them during a beautiful sunset standing on the shoreline. I switched back and forth between my smartphone and the glasses. The 12 Mps still camera did an adequate job and I posted one of them on social media. It required downloading the image onto my camera to straighten the horizon and crop accordingly. I also used video to capture the last few seconds of the sun disappearing into the horizon. I recommend then highly.

Hey Marcus.. Just came across your channel 💙 -- You got a new subscriber! BTW, love your green top/jacket - mind me asking brand name / where to get it from please?

[@TheCuttyBrown]

If you cant scroll and watch stuff whats the point? Thats 95% of whats being done on a phone.. who wants to barely hear a phone call or film in 2k for 60 seconds😂😂😂

[@MarcusCreates]

Hahaha

[@tabous2]

META has censored private chats between friends. Who in their right mind would give them one cent today? Have we learnt nothing from the past 3 years?

[@crizkeeth]

Great vid. Any way of connecting them just to Apple Watch? So wouldn’t need to bring your phone? If you have cellular that is

[@MarcusCreates]

Afraid not. They need to connect to a Meta View app on your android or iPhone.

[@billienomates1606]

These glasses need to have a constant connection to your phone to use all the features, so going without your phone would seriously reduce the ability of these glasses to a camera, would they not!

[@MarcusCreates]

As I said, it’s not a perfect system. I still bring my phone with me. But it reduces the number of times I pull it out and sets of the addictive phone loop.

[@Lun4rVisi8n]

I see, so leaving the phone at home and using cellular Apple Watch would not be possible? I thought the photos and videos get stored on the glasses and you can upload them to your phone later

[@GioraOlmert]

@@Lun4rVisi8n this is a valid point. Marcus - have you tried using only cellular watch+ the glasses?

[@toki4139]

Seeing this i just want to go back to the 90s...

[@rstash1]

Toss your phone. I did it 8 years ago. Just do it and don't look back. Mankind didn't have phones for hundreds of thousands of years and we did fine.

[@freshpistachios275]

Great video! Please do reviews of the Meta Quest 3 as well. Thank you!!

[@MarcusCreates]

Sure thing!

[@billienomates1606]

I prefer the older versions pic/vid format myself and the bonus is they are older and half the price used.

[@guillermoortiz8452]

This new addiction broke my old addiction

[@MarcusCreates]

Haha. So true

[@user-qh1ce9gs6d]

Trading weed for coke.

[@projectswithgreg601]

Great video, did you order to match your optometrist script? I have the rayban stories and love them and wondering if it’s worth the upgrade for just the AI

[@MarcusCreates]

I did get my prescription. And they’re great. The video quality is way better than the Stories. And they’re just faster all round. I’d say give them a go.

[@projectswithgreg601]

Thanks. Will order a set

[@ericchausse1701]

Great stuff! But I have one question regarding the camera function on the glasses. When you activate the camera, are you able to increase the magnification on whatever you're viewing? If so, how does that function work?

[@mcmach1]

No

[@brianmurphy5313]

As if the world isn't already insane enough with the phones. The next step toward human madness.

[@MarcusCreates]

Undoubtedly

[@Rickoshay]

Over 80% of the world use Android phones. So do these glasses support this OS? Can you project images on the lenses? Can the lenses be tinted? This basic information would be helpful to viewers.

[@MarcusCreates]

Yes. No. Yes. 😊

[@dmerrigan11]

Nice shots of Limerick, Co. California. Great review 😎

[@MarcusCreates]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Elimporta2]

This is one of the best thing of the century on my opinion. On my last vacation I used my glasses 95% of the time and the phone 5% to capture moments. It replaced my Airpods, GoPro and phone to take videos.

[@corydavis7119]

Hey Marcus, I have another question. Can you sync your smart glasses to your apple watch and not have your phone with you. In other words could you answer or make a call from the data line on the apple watch?

[@archeewaters]

i think they're a really good idea and have their application. the way i stopped my phone addiction is to log out of all my apps. if i really want to get on them, i have to deliberately log on with a password, as you would on a public computer. it's no longer a passive action.

[@WolfQuantum]

Can you get these in triple progressive lenses? I'm not a big Meta/FB fan, but I do appreciate the idea of smart glasses.

[@swisstrader]

I have single sided deafness. For many years they’ve offered a cross over glasses…speaker on the deaf ear side with wiring run through the frame of the glasses w a speaker on the good ear side. Always considered getting them and wondering if something like this would work

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Great video which as a new glasses wearer who has always dreamed of having POV videos and always have a camera cablity these seem great! Even if they can only record vertical and only for 60 seconds... And while I do prefer gold avators the blue transpart highlanders seem nice.

[@MarcusCreates]

Give the a try then. They’re really great.

[@vertigev]

Totally agree, been rocking these for a couple months and I'm really impressed!

[@MarcusCreates]

What’s your favorite feature?

[@microsnook3]

This is some crazy tech. I can't imagine the next 5 years.

[@tynie626]

do you switch off the power on the glasses themselves when taking them off and on throughout the day to reach that 6 hour limit, or is that always-on?

[@MarcusCreates]

Always on.

[@mrjacksonSEDC]

I purchased a two-years ago version and had to buy my first iPhone to work with it. I just used them for music and manual video/photo capture. I’ve been thinking about getting a new pair as I have the first pair away.

[@rahimpaker]

I m waiting for this smart glasses to be able to watch video and text message . This helps people having problems memorise list of stuff and notes.

[@danquixote6072]

I have been showing this video to all my students learning English to see if they recognise your accent (they failed). But they did enjoy the video and were amazed at the glasses. I am guessing, but would like to make sure beforehand, that with the audio and mic you can do Zoom calls with them?

[@johnwilliam2474]

Can these record sound? If so, for how long? Is recording continuous or voice activated?

[@mirrorjutup]

Hi Marcus, how t handle a change between iPhone- and iPad-using for example Podcast or music or Video? Always to shut down the existing BT-connection and build up a new once? Thanks Walter from germany

[@user-ez1pc6vg8u]

When it is in a very noisy. Environment, you can cover ear with palm of the hand the hand will isolated the sound with that dome.

[@robertcuomo7084]

Depends what your needs/wants are. I rather use AirPods Pro for some things, (music and phone calls). My go to for a phone replacement though is my cellular Apple Watch Ultra.

[@ddvantandar-kw7kl]

Great Video after going through the experiences shared by people sim card support is important instead of relying on third party devices.
