It was about time for me to buy new glasses, so I settled on Meta Smart Glasses. I didn't even know these existed until I saw them at a Bestbuy and thought I'd make them my next frames. :)

My first impression of them when I opened the box was that they're much heavier and bigger in person. Not enough to look silly on your face, but I guess it's not too surprising given all the tech inside the glasses.

Here's the core features:
-Video / picture taking
-Calls / face time
-AI assistance / the ability for it to see what you see
-Play music
-Live translations
-and various other features when connected to your smart phone

I wear my glasses to drive (because if I didn't there would be a lot of pedestrian casualties) and I wear them sometimes at home if I game and the TV is far away. I find myself wearing my glasses more often than I used to because of the cool features. The music is convenient because I dont have to put airpods in if I already have my glasses on.

Pros:
-Stylish. They do look good, despite being a little heavy
-I find myself using a lot of the features.
-The camera is 12 mega pixels, which seems high for this kind of product, so pictures look good

Cons:
-the battery life sucks, it's like 3 hours
-other people can hear your music if it's too loud. Hopefully they have taste

Price was $250 usd

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Wow! I've always been drawn to this kind of technology, but I must admit that I would be too scared to wear it. The fact that they can record everything you see makes me uncomfortable, and we know that Meta sucks, especially after what they are doing during this Trump administration 😖

Despite that, please share a follow-up with us in the coming weeks! I'm curious to find out which features you'll use the most! 👓

Appreciate the breakdown... I'm personally really interested in VR and am hoping we get wearable glasses that can do Augmented Reality but sometimes I struggle to think of a use case for these kind of glasses. Because they seem like cool tech (spontaneous pictures, music) but too expensive to justify for me.
