TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:00.381 --> 00:00:03.170
All right, well, welcome back to the Mindful Bytes podcast.
00:00:03.170 --> 00:00:06.849
It's been a while since we've been here, but today we're going to talk about
00:00:07.301 --> 00:00:10.351
clearing up the image of meta AI with a new pair of glasses.
00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:12.464
Hey, I got a pair of those too.
00:00:12.464 --> 00:00:16.108
See, let's go ahead and dive into today's episode.
00:00:16.108 --> 00:00:22.890
All right, everybody, this is Brian, the Gen X business leader.
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.986
I'm Ashton, your Gen Z gadget geek.
00:00:26.687 --> 00:00:27.149
Oh nice.
00:00:27.449 --> 00:00:28.373
Gadget geek.
00:00:28.881 --> 00:00:29.643
I like that one,
00:00:30.025 --> 00:00:30.748
geek it out.
00:00:30.748 --> 00:00:30.748
.
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.170
I'm Olivia, your social media savvy millennial.
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.546
You see what happens when we take such a long break.
00:00:36.747 --> 00:00:40.587
I know I literally was like I don't remember anything.
00:00:40.587 --> 00:00:41.909
What's a podcast?
00:00:41.929 --> 00:00:42.832
That's what I was thinking too.
00:00:42.832 --> 00:00:43.753
I was like what am I?
00:00:43.753 --> 00:00:52.093
I don't know that kind of fits into my introduction, I'm Shawna, your Xennial digital dinosaur.
00:00:52.659 --> 00:00:55.979
Well, and I just got to say we haven't been around for a while, because we've got a lot going on.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.844
We've had hurricanes, we've had projects, so yeah, so we're back.
00:00:59.844 --> 00:01:04.129
I think probably some people were even on vacation, I don't remember it's been a lot.
00:01:04.129 --> 00:01:09.897
But hey, we are back and ready to wrap up the year with the Mindful Bytes.
00:01:09.897 --> 00:01:13.605
Just a reminder if you want to jump around to different topics, you can use the chapter markers.
00:01:13.605 --> 00:01:16.826
On the episode Ashton, why don't you go ahead and get us started?
00:01:16.826 --> 00:01:19.209
Tell us about these Meta Ray Bands.
00:01:20.561 --> 00:01:22.728
These things are awesome.
00:01:22.728 --> 00:01:25.302
I've really enjoyed using these so far.
00:01:25.302 --> 00:01:28.004
Me and Brian have a pair.
00:01:28.004 --> 00:01:39.977
He has the limited edition clear ones and I have the large Wayfarers and I mean these things are just, they're something else.
00:01:39.977 --> 00:01:52.939
Ever since I've switched to Android, I've been complaining about Google not being as good as Siri, but in my opinion, meta is actually the best artificial intelligence.
00:01:52.939 --> 00:02:02.256
Over Siri and Google and Gemini and all of them, I've liked Meta the best, which is a really high standard.
00:02:04.003 --> 00:02:05.486
Why is Meta the best to you?
00:02:05.486 --> 00:02:05.686
You?
00:02:06.789 --> 00:02:14.900
I think it's honestly just because of the cameras because, like it talks really naturally, just like siri does it, it has relevant information.
00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:21.481
It hasn't failed me with irrelevant information yet, but I think it's because it can see what you're seeing.
00:02:21.481 --> 00:02:23.229
It has these little cameras here.
00:02:23.229 --> 00:02:25.539
You'll see, it has some little cameras.
00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:38.622
It's actually talking right now but, uh, you'll see, it has little cameras and it just it sees the world around you and it gets information from it and it's really, really good at it I don't think it's interesting.
00:02:39.243 --> 00:02:45.343
Ashton, like with, like you just said, like it's talking right now, that is very interesting because I know it's something you're probably going to cover.
00:02:45.343 --> 00:02:50.243
But like I love the sound, how you can hear, but other people around you can't hear it.
00:02:50.243 --> 00:03:01.641
Really, but it is kind of weird because it's like you have voices in your head just say, walking down the sidewalk, I'm listening to a podcast, or it starts talking to me and Shawna talking.
00:03:01.641 --> 00:03:03.691
It's like I'm sorry, hold on a second, my glasses are talking to me and Sean was talking.
00:03:03.691 --> 00:03:05.879
It's like I'm sorry, hold on a second, my glasses are talking to me.
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.085
I got to figure out how to turn that off.
00:03:08.641 --> 00:03:13.426
At least people are already used to hearing people talking to themselves because of headsets and everything.
00:03:13.426 --> 00:03:16.566
Like you see people walking around talking to themselves all the time.
00:03:16.566 --> 00:03:17.548
It's no big deal anymore.
00:03:18.210 --> 00:03:19.111
That's true.
00:03:19.151 --> 00:03:19.812
The only thing.
00:03:19.812 --> 00:03:23.522
The only thing with these are, so I have to keep the volume low because of that.
00:03:23.522 --> 00:03:31.807
But with AirPods you can tell that they're listening to something.
00:03:31.807 --> 00:03:35.911
When it comes to these, you can't tell, so that I have noticed.
00:03:35.911 --> 00:03:46.344
I've seen one other person in real life wear these and it took me like I like stepped back for a moment because I was like, oh, that is so weird, like I just wasn't expecting that.
00:03:46.344 --> 00:03:58.405
You're used to seeing someone holding their phone, talking on speaker phone, or you're used to someone wearing airpods or having their phone next to them, but it's just, it's not there and it's.
00:03:58.405 --> 00:04:00.753
It's really freaky actually okay.
00:04:00.774 --> 00:04:01.496
So these okay.
00:04:01.496 --> 00:04:06.872
So I want to give a quick recap, as you're, you know, getting ready to dive into the glasses themselves.
00:04:06.872 --> 00:04:15.034
I know at MetaConnect they showed a lot of the new features, things that you can use these glasses for, like streaming live to Instagram, to Facebook.
00:04:15.034 --> 00:04:18.329
They have Meta AI that can see things.
00:04:18.329 --> 00:04:21.048
Like you said, the glasses can see what you're looking at.
00:04:21.048 --> 00:04:27.850
It's got the audio where you can hear I don't remember what they call it it's like a spatial audio, which is a really cool feature.
00:04:27.850 --> 00:04:32.386
Also, the translation stuff, like all this meta AI stuff.
00:04:32.386 --> 00:04:38.425
There's a lot packed in these glasses with the meta AI and I think that's why you're touching on saying, like you love this meta AI, you think this is very powerful.
00:04:38.425 --> 00:04:44.091
So those are just some of the quick insights of what I know that the glasses can do.
00:04:44.091 --> 00:04:47.521
So go ahead, explain more.
00:04:47.521 --> 00:04:50.649
Can you go a little bit deeper on the glasses, of what you've experienced?
00:04:50.649 --> 00:04:53.266
What you have experienced on the glasses so far?
00:04:54.531 --> 00:04:57.882
So some of the things I've found really interesting with these.
00:04:57.882 --> 00:05:06.040
The commercials do a lot of identification related things, including, actually, I think, in the conference they also did it.
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:11.232
So I've experimented with IDing plants and it has been pretty accurate.
00:05:11.232 --> 00:05:15.747
There's some hard ones that it's missed, but for the most part it's done really well.
00:05:15.747 --> 00:05:18.754
I have done building IDs.
00:05:18.754 --> 00:05:23.322
So when you're just walking through a city you look up at something and you're like what is this building?
00:05:23.322 --> 00:05:24.987
And it can find your location.
00:05:24.987 --> 00:05:31.946
Actually in Ohio we went to this place called Deeds Carillon and it did that perfectly.
00:05:31.946 --> 00:05:34.872
It looked right up at the building and knew exactly where we were.
00:05:36.261 --> 00:05:37.684
I've done car IDs.
00:05:37.684 --> 00:05:40.651
So I've seen cars on the road and I'm like hey, what is this car?
00:05:40.651 --> 00:05:43.588
And it's got that really well.
00:05:43.588 --> 00:05:47.581
I learned that it does two different ways of doing that.
00:05:47.581 --> 00:05:53.041
It will either read the badges or, if it can't read the badges, it tries to identify the body shape.
00:05:53.041 --> 00:05:55.447
So it's pretty good because it tries to combine both.
00:05:55.447 --> 00:05:59.607
It can usually get the year like it, down to the model year, which is really impressive.
00:05:59.747 --> 00:06:00.069
It's actually.
00:06:00.069 --> 00:06:00.629
You can read.
00:06:00.629 --> 00:06:03.485
The text is what you're saying on the car.
00:06:03.485 --> 00:06:04.689
Interesting.
00:06:04.949 --> 00:06:05.851
It's really impressive.
00:06:05.851 --> 00:06:08.908
Another one that has done very well is animal ID.
00:06:08.908 --> 00:06:15.853
I have been out fishing and it has been able to ID birds like herons that are walking by.
00:06:15.853 --> 00:06:20.050
It's been able to ID fish that I've caught.
00:06:20.050 --> 00:06:24.411
To be fair, I've only caught a largemouth bass, but it did get it, so that's impressive.
00:06:29.459 --> 00:06:29.901
Can you teach it?
00:06:29.901 --> 00:06:32.408
Can you say, like if you catch a bluegill you can say no, uh, this is a largemouth bass.
00:06:32.408 --> 00:06:33.232
Like, can you correct it?
00:06:33.232 --> 00:06:34.797
Like teach it I don't believe so.
00:06:34.797 --> 00:06:48.208
I don't believe so you know when you were little, like we would like, there was planes that would fly by and be like look a dog, and your mom said don't do that to him, he's going to grow up thinking that that's a dog and it's a plane.
00:06:48.208 --> 00:06:51.632
So I didn't know if we could do that to the Meta AI glasses.
00:06:51.935 --> 00:06:52.841
I don't believe so.
00:06:52.841 --> 00:06:53.803
I don't believe so.
00:06:55.528 --> 00:06:55.990
Teach it.
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:07.240
Something that Meta shows a lot of, though, something that they think is super impressive, which I agree, is their problem solving abilities.
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.185
They can be presented with a problem and they will try and solve it.
00:07:09.185 --> 00:07:17.250
One that they advertise is it's a person holding a plant, like in a pot, and they're like meta.
00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:19.115
What's wrong with this plant?
00:07:19.115 --> 00:07:20.197
Is this plant healthy?
00:07:20.197 --> 00:07:22.524
And it can give them information on.
00:07:22.524 --> 00:07:26.973
Oh, it has yellow, has yellowing leaves, it may need water or it may need sunlight.
00:07:26.973 --> 00:07:30.028
That's something I wanted to ask you guys.
00:07:30.028 --> 00:07:34.514
What are some other problem-solving tasks it could do?
00:07:34.514 --> 00:07:36.480
What do you think?
00:07:37.202 --> 00:07:38.408
I got a dead plant back there.
00:07:38.408 --> 00:07:40.266
I should ask it what it needs.
00:07:40.266 --> 00:07:42.288
It's in really bad shape.
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.226
It'll probably tell you it's just dead.
00:07:44.641 --> 00:07:47.610
I'll blame it on the hurricane, but I don't think that was the problem.
00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:52.028
You're supposed to be yeah, you're supposed to be blocking that with your head.
00:07:52.581 --> 00:07:54.108
Like don't let me see the dead plant.
00:07:55.545 --> 00:07:57.860
That's 100% my responsibility.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.120
You want me to hold it up in front of me and ask it what's?
00:08:01.161 --> 00:08:02.185
wrong with the plant?
00:08:02.185 --> 00:08:04.487
No, no, no, thank you.
00:08:04.487 --> 00:08:09.182
What's wrong with the plan?
00:08:09.182 --> 00:08:09.684
No, no, no, thank you.
00:08:09.684 --> 00:08:18.509
Uh, ashton, I think um something that I heard that you did the other day that I think is a really interesting idea is to show ingredients and ask what you can make out of it, you know, for recipe ideas.
00:08:18.509 --> 00:08:24.769
Or you know, everybody has those days where you're like, oh, I don't know what to cook, but you have these few things.
00:08:24.910 --> 00:08:33.634
I love that idea and it's hands-free, so it's not like you have to go get out your phone or your laptop and start searching and scroll through it.
00:08:33.634 --> 00:08:37.788
You can do it while you're doing other things, which I think is cool.
00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:46.129
That is very impressive, because I was doing that in a store when I told her about that, I was caretaking for someone's house.
00:08:46.129 --> 00:08:47.582
No, that's not the word.
00:08:47.582 --> 00:08:49.710
What's it called Homesitting, is that?
00:08:49.730 --> 00:08:52.600
what it's called yeah homesitting, yeah, homesitting.
00:08:52.639 --> 00:09:02.323
I was house sitting for some friends and when I went out to get groceries I picked up some potatoes because I was just going to make some baked potatoes and I got normal ingredients.
00:09:02.323 --> 00:09:10.082
I got cheese and sour cream and all that and I was like you know what?
00:09:10.082 --> 00:09:11.227
I'm going to ask it what it thinks I should add.
00:09:11.227 --> 00:09:13.217
And one of the things that came up with was parsley and I was like that is such a good idea.
00:09:13.217 --> 00:09:19.332
I didn't even think about that, but it's just one of the things that they've been working really hard on.
00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:27.452
So you could look inside your refrigerator and say, do you have any recipes that I can use?
00:09:27.452 --> 00:09:30.408
What recipes can I use of these ingredients?
00:09:30.408 --> 00:09:31.110
Is that what you do?
00:09:31.110 --> 00:09:32.384
Is that kind of how the approach is?
00:09:33.121 --> 00:09:40.690
You can do that and then, alongside that, it will tell you at what temperatures some things need to be cooked, at some things it knows how long.
00:09:40.690 --> 00:09:42.924
It's very helpful.
00:09:44.780 --> 00:09:45.582
Olivia, what about you?
00:09:45.582 --> 00:09:47.467
You got any ideas on this interesting?
00:09:48.269 --> 00:09:49.660
um a couple things.
00:09:49.660 --> 00:09:57.520
Number one I was wondering does it have like um I get like gps on it, like if you're driving?
00:09:57.721 --> 00:10:02.870
and you're wearing the glasses I've been trying to mess with that.
00:10:02.870 --> 00:10:04.633
I haven't been able to get it to.
00:10:04.633 --> 00:10:11.782
It does have GPS on its photos.
00:10:11.782 --> 00:10:13.506
When you take a photo with it, it can tell you where you took the photo.
00:10:13.506 --> 00:10:16.783
Now I don't know if it's adding that in the app, because there's a companion app to import the photos.
00:10:16.783 --> 00:10:27.085
So I don't know if it's the companion app adding that or if it's the glasses, because when you try to set up a GPS to it, it just turns these into Bluetooth speakers.
00:10:27.085 --> 00:10:31.809
The phone is still your GPS and these are just the speakers Gotcha gotcha.
00:10:31.970 --> 00:10:35.793
And I've asked them for directions and it won't give them to me.
00:10:35.793 --> 00:10:37.174
It'll just open Waze.
00:10:37.174 --> 00:10:39.557
Yeah, I think you're right there.
00:10:42.360 --> 00:11:06.053
I've actually tested that online where, trying to ask it to show me my location, it says it cannot give geo, like it can't do geolocations right now or geotargeting, but it must, like you said it, probably.
00:11:06.053 --> 00:11:11.850
I get out at the airport and I look at my parking number or if I look at a road sign I can say remember where I parked my car.
00:11:13.241 --> 00:11:28.883
And I can look at those signs and it will tell me you're at your part at this street, at this corner or at this number, so you can't ask it to remind you of those things, which is great number so you can't ask it to remind you those things, which is great, yeah, no, I love that.
00:11:28.903 --> 00:11:29.303
So I have a question.
00:11:29.303 --> 00:11:30.365
Yeah, that's really helpful.
00:11:30.365 --> 00:11:37.868
Can you like wear the glasses, like take off down the street or whatever, without having your phone with you, will it?
00:11:37.947 --> 00:11:40.481
it will do certain things or is it it's?
00:11:40.481 --> 00:11:41.884
Limited without the phone.
00:11:41.884 --> 00:11:43.769
Okay, that is one of its downsides, is it?
00:11:43.769 --> 00:11:45.030
It is yeah.
00:11:45.130 --> 00:11:46.813
I don't think you have to have the phone.
00:11:46.813 --> 00:11:49.485
What do you mean limited?
00:11:49.485 --> 00:11:50.325
How is it?
00:11:50.385 --> 00:11:51.220
limited without the phone.
00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:57.393
It's limited in most of its AI features because it does not have cell service.
00:11:57.393 --> 00:11:59.687
It's fully Bluetooth enabled.
00:11:59.687 --> 00:12:19.111
So if you go far away from your phone, one of the examples I have is when I was fishing, I left my phone near my tackle box and I walked to the other side of the lake and when it disconnected, it'll still take photos, It'll still take videos, but it won't the AI won't communicate with you.
00:12:19.111 --> 00:12:22.549
It won't play music, which makes sense because that's through the phone.
00:12:22.549 --> 00:12:25.048
So all of that is phone enabled.
00:12:26.020 --> 00:12:28.568
So that's usually about like 30 or 50 feet, I think.
00:12:28.568 --> 00:12:30.947
With the Bluetooth you have to be within that range.
00:12:30.947 --> 00:12:33.047
That's interesting to know.
00:12:33.047 --> 00:12:34.280
I didn't think I know about that.
00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:47.971
Yeah, that is one of its downsides okay, I'm sure that at some point they'll have ones that will have, like their own, probably wi-fi connector, a cellular.
00:12:48.072 --> 00:13:06.537
That's right, yeah, word, it is very similar to what the apple, so that you could very similar to what the apple watches do is probably what they will do because the first gen I think maybe second gen apple Watch didn't have cell service and then, shortly after that development cycle, they added it.
00:13:06.537 --> 00:13:12.966
So I'm sure that's what will happen to these, because these have been out what like a year, maybe not even.
00:13:14.129 --> 00:13:23.808
Yeah, well, the Ray-Bans, like the new ones, that has the Meta AI, has been out for over a year Because they just did the.
00:13:23.808 --> 00:13:25.977
I think they announced the not this last meta connect, but the connect before.
00:13:25.977 --> 00:13:27.825
But the ray bands have been out for longer than that.
00:13:27.845 --> 00:13:37.253
They just didn't have the meta ai, so the meta yeah, so uh, yeah, I think we're talking about the meta ray band, the meta ray bands yeah, um, but uh.
00:13:37.633 --> 00:13:50.874
so, on a kind of like a funny side, I would love it if I could use use it as a use case to saying, hey, when I look at somebody said, remember that their name is Shawna, so then next time I see them, it's like this is Shawna.
00:13:51.788 --> 00:13:53.835
Yeah, that would be so beneficial.
00:13:53.835 --> 00:13:56.815
I have not tested that that would be awesome.
00:13:57.144 --> 00:13:59.113
It would be very interesting if it did, though.
00:14:00.086 --> 00:14:06.736
The other thing is like I do have a serious idea, but have you tested it?
00:14:07.309 --> 00:14:08.043
That first one was serious.
00:14:08.043 --> 00:14:09.751
You said it's a joke, but I think that'd be useful.
00:14:10.424 --> 00:14:11.368
Have you tested it?
00:14:11.368 --> 00:14:14.777
Asking what kind of animal our dog is?
00:14:14.777 --> 00:14:17.794
Because we can never determine exactly 100% what breed she is.
00:14:18.365 --> 00:14:21.095
So it does do that.
00:14:21.095 --> 00:14:27.407
I don't know how accurate it is.
00:14:27.407 --> 00:14:28.370
I don't have too much of a way to test it.
00:14:28.370 --> 00:14:30.416
The dogs it has tried it has been close.
00:14:30.416 --> 00:14:35.368
If they are mixed it can usually find the dominant gene and nothing else.
00:14:35.368 --> 00:14:41.375
So for example for our dog, uh, we were told that she's purebred yorkie.
00:14:41.375 --> 00:14:45.225
She might be, she may also have a little bit of dotson in her.
00:14:45.225 --> 00:14:53.506
These glasses just say she's yorkie or there's a golden retriever, that I know, and that's all.
00:14:53.746 --> 00:15:03.034
it's mixed, but it only knew golden retriever, so it can find that primary thing, but it doesn't know any of the smaller ones, which makes sense, gotcha.
00:15:03.034 --> 00:15:03.657
That makes sense.
00:15:04.337 --> 00:15:06.506
Yes, what it looks the most like that makes sense.
00:15:06.527 --> 00:15:14.937
Well, one of my ideas and Olivia, you probably would love this idea too or even Shawna like doing social media and stuff like that.
00:15:14.937 --> 00:15:17.125
I tested it out with Instagram.
00:15:17.125 --> 00:15:26.535
I have not tested out Facebook, but I love that you can do live stream videos with it, and what's cool about it is you can switch between cameras.
00:15:26.535 --> 00:15:42.758
Once you're live, I can be on the phone and the people on the phone looking at me, like you are right now like on a Zoom call and having that conversation, Be like here, check this out and I can just tap my glasses and it takes the camera and switches it to my glasses for a first person view.
00:15:42.758 --> 00:15:50.139
So, like, imagine, like at events, at concerts if you're speaking on a stage, it's like people can see what you're looking at.
00:15:50.139 --> 00:16:06.855
Even at the Meta Connect, when they brought out the Orion glasses, the person that was carrying the big metal case to Zuckerberg actually had a pair of these on and he he actually did a live video showing him actually walking out carrying him up and I'm opening it so it was super cool.
00:16:07.277 --> 00:16:08.346
Yeah, it was a really cool feel.
00:16:08.346 --> 00:16:12.567
So I want to kind of put this out there and ask you guys how do you guys see?
00:16:12.567 --> 00:16:21.159
Because, like, one of the things I've been looking at is like, if, if I do things on social media, how could I incorporate these and do a totally different approach?
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.732
But do it like a first person view, like what are your thoughts about that?
00:16:23.732 --> 00:16:27.408
Cause that can really change your whole content creation process.
00:16:27.408 --> 00:16:29.312
Is that a wrong question to ask?
00:16:31.096 --> 00:16:32.076
My camera's frozen.
00:16:32.076 --> 00:16:32.818
I'm just kidding.
00:16:32.818 --> 00:16:42.794
I don't think it's a wrong question, I just think that, uh, that it's going to take some thought, like I can definitely see some content ideas coming out of that.
00:16:42.794 --> 00:16:44.851
I love the idea.
00:16:44.851 --> 00:16:47.474
I like seeing videos like that that are point of view.
00:16:47.474 --> 00:16:49.908
Is that the right way to say it, like a first person view?
00:16:49.908 --> 00:16:53.596
Yeah, yeah, I could see it.
00:16:53.596 --> 00:16:55.412
I could see some things coming out of that.
00:16:55.412 --> 00:16:56.990
I just can't think of any specific.
00:16:57.030 --> 00:17:10.154
Yeah, what I've personally used it, for I've been wanting to make reels for a long time just to mess around, and so when I've been out taking photos, I've been using these and I've really liked the videos so far.
00:17:10.154 --> 00:17:18.201
They're really smooth, the image stabilization is really good, but before there wasn't that many point of view options.
00:17:18.201 --> 00:17:22.612
I mean you can do a GoPro strapped up high.
00:17:22.612 --> 00:17:38.486
There are cameras you can get that clip onto your hat bill, but not exactly like a pair of glasses, and so it does record out of your left camera, so it is barely off center when you move your head, but you really don't notice.
00:17:38.486 --> 00:17:47.259
I have a reel up on my Instagram account that if you want to see a good example, that's a great place to go to go see one.
00:17:48.045 --> 00:17:50.513
Well, actually, Ashton, you should give us the link.
00:17:50.513 --> 00:17:54.545
We'll put it in the show notes as well, so people can check it out, because that actually is a really good point.
00:17:54.565 --> 00:18:10.153
That was a really cool reel that you did because it showed you actually being out at the locations and walking around, because it showed you actually being out at the locations and walking around and all of a sudden you lifted up your camera and you went and it went to the free shot of the actual camera from the, the photo from the camera, which is a really cool feel.
00:18:10.153 --> 00:18:15.037
So I think, the creativity of how you can approach content wearing these glasses.
00:18:15.037 --> 00:18:36.107
I was actually talking to someone recently that said that they have been for the last year recording a personal journal for their kids and to remember, like their I guess, their mom's entire life, like how she's, the different things she's doing throughout the day, so it's like a live journal that they can go back and replay from her point of view.
00:18:36.107 --> 00:18:40.313
Oh, I love that idea yeah, that's so cool.
00:18:40.953 --> 00:18:46.180
Yeah, I was just gonna yeah To your question.
00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:56.244
I do think that you know, people like Ashton talked about already, kind of do that kind of reel where it's like from a first person perspective.
00:18:56.244 --> 00:19:16.616
But I do think that these glasses will make it so much easier because there is, you know, like you have to have certain cameras, like I know they sell some now that you wear around your neck and like there's a lot of setup and things that go into getting that point of view.
00:19:16.616 --> 00:19:23.692
So I think this is definitely going to save people a lot of time, that's for sure I was.
00:19:24.093 --> 00:19:26.471
I was just going to mention that is the ease of use.
00:19:26.471 --> 00:19:27.134
They're just.
00:19:27.134 --> 00:19:29.782
You just put them on, they connect.
00:19:29.782 --> 00:19:31.007
You don't have to do anything else.
00:19:31.007 --> 00:19:32.550
You just hit the button, that's it.
00:19:32.892 --> 00:19:53.153
They're recording and also, you can actually even like go ahead, go ahead, Shawna I was gonna say also wouldn't you just feel like you so conspicuous, like you stand out like a sore thumb if you've got a camera on your hat or on your neck, Like you know it would feel uncomfortable and with the glasses it's just like oh, you don't have glasses.
00:19:53.525 --> 00:19:54.946
The thing about the glasses too.
00:19:54.946 --> 00:19:55.547
I remember doing this at.
00:19:55.547 --> 00:19:57.209
We went to a car show and I was just taking photos just with the glasses and they.
00:19:57.209 --> 00:20:02.534
We went to a car show and I was just taking photos just with the glasses and and they came out amazing.
00:20:02.534 --> 00:20:06.497
It was, you know, getting used to, like you said, ashton, the cameras on the left lens.
00:20:06.497 --> 00:20:07.679
There's a right one.
00:20:07.739 --> 00:20:10.000
So, like right now, I don't have to even tap it.
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:16.864
I can just say hey, meta, record a video.
00:20:16.864 --> 00:20:18.648
And I don't know if you guys can see that right now it's recording.
00:20:18.648 --> 00:20:21.335
But do you see that light that just lit up on my right side of my glasses?
00:20:21.335 --> 00:20:23.448
That lets everybody know that I'm recording?
00:20:23.448 --> 00:20:25.212
Hey, meta, stop the recording.
00:20:25.212 --> 00:20:30.247
So it makes beeps and stuff and gives me a light on the inside.
00:20:30.247 --> 00:20:32.694
So I know it's doing stuff, but I don't have to even touch the glasses.
00:20:32.694 --> 00:20:35.348
I can just ask it to hey, meta, take a photo.
00:20:35.348 --> 00:20:38.074
And there it goes.
00:20:38.074 --> 00:20:39.175
It flashes a white light.
00:20:39.175 --> 00:20:45.090
So people that might be listening and thinking about what privacy concerns, uh, there is a bright light that shines.
00:20:45.090 --> 00:20:46.973
And they did, I believe.
00:20:46.973 --> 00:20:48.195
Ashton correct me if I'm wrong.
00:20:48.195 --> 00:20:50.239
I think they made it where if you try to cover that light up.
00:20:50.398 --> 00:21:06.171
It will not work but what's really nice is it knows the difference and if you're trying or not trying to cover it and it can tell.
00:21:06.171 --> 00:21:12.951
So, like if my hat bill is too low, it says, hey, your hat is in your camera's way, but we're still recording which is really nice.
00:21:12.951 --> 00:21:24.166
And then if it realizes the led is covered which I have no clue how it detects that, but it can, uh, if it realizes that, then it tells you hey, your LED is covered, we are not recording.
00:21:25.229 --> 00:21:30.598
So tell us about the translation stuff, because I know there's a lot there.
00:21:30.598 --> 00:21:36.758
That's something that I feel like is so useful to a lot of people in everyday life.
00:21:36.758 --> 00:21:37.826
Have you tested that?
00:21:37.826 --> 00:21:43.661
Explain to us how they explain that should work so I've tested it.
00:21:44.423 --> 00:21:46.406
It works really well, from what I can tell.
00:21:46.406 --> 00:21:51.576
Uh, the main way I've tested it is by reading signs.
00:21:51.576 --> 00:21:55.250
I've done this at a few different locations, including an airport.
00:21:55.250 --> 00:21:57.174
It works really well.
00:21:57.174 --> 00:22:00.449
It just reads the sign and and just translate it for you.
00:22:01.230 --> 00:22:06.092
Uh, so it's really good reading a sign like in a different language that are different language.
00:22:06.092 --> 00:22:08.486
You can look at it and ask so what do you do?
00:22:08.486 --> 00:22:14.848
Do you ask it like, let's say, we're reading, it's a spanish sign, or maybe it's a sign written in france, a french so?
00:22:14.848 --> 00:22:17.414
It's written in france and it's actually written in.
00:22:17.414 --> 00:22:21.792
It's actually in german, but they wrote in france, so normally what you do.
00:22:22.955 --> 00:22:28.788
They did just release an update, so I don't know if you have to specify the language now I don't think you do how?
00:22:28.788 --> 00:22:43.451
Like the exact command you give it is hey, meta, can you translate this sign for me, making sure mine didn't turn on no, so you don't know, you don't have to do, you have to say translated to english, or it just automatically knows what language it knows your primary language.
00:22:43.451 --> 00:22:45.189
You set that in the app when you set it up.
00:22:45.189 --> 00:22:48.336
Gotcha, gotcha.
00:22:48.375 --> 00:22:48.917
Very cool.
00:22:49.404 --> 00:22:51.131
And so you tried that and it worked well.
00:22:51.131 --> 00:22:53.647
Yeah, it worked great, from what I could tell.
00:22:53.647 --> 00:22:58.971
I don't know Spanish so I don't exactly know what the sign said, but it used proper grammar.
00:22:58.971 --> 00:23:11.615
There was an English and a Spanish sign right next to each other I believe it was a bathroom sign and when I read it it just read the exact same thing that was on the English one, so I'm assuming that that is what that sign said they were right next to each other.
00:23:11.744 --> 00:23:13.412
So I think that was it.
00:23:13.412 --> 00:23:20.125
I made sure that it couldn't see the other sign too, just to make sure it wasn't cheating, did you?
00:23:20.145 --> 00:23:22.232
like peek your head and say excuse me, is this the men's?
00:23:22.272 --> 00:23:22.694
bathroom.
00:23:22.765 --> 00:23:24.289
Just want to make sure before I come in.
00:23:24.853 --> 00:23:34.896
No, no, I don't think traveling abroad really is a lot easier, for sure.
00:23:35.538 --> 00:23:46.944
It would, and something else that they're working on, which was also in the commercial, is having two pairs between two people and you being able to talk to each other and it translating.
00:23:47.246 --> 00:23:48.612
That would be amazing.
00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:52.215
Which is really nice.
00:23:52.215 --> 00:23:57.471
Something that I haven't tested yet is if they can do audio translation.
00:23:57.471 --> 00:24:03.519
If you can hear something and it translate it for you, I wouldn't be surprised if they can do it.
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:09.605
If it's not available yet, it is available soon, because they did market that also in the meta connect.
00:24:09.605 --> 00:24:14.255
Um, oh, that's what my next thing.
00:24:14.255 --> 00:24:15.597
Was there anything else you guys wanted to say?
00:24:16.906 --> 00:24:17.847
I have a question.
00:24:17.847 --> 00:24:23.856
So I wear contacts and I have a pretty heavy prescription.
00:24:23.856 --> 00:24:43.220
So even if I were to get random reading glasses at CVS or something that makes my vision look blurry, so what is the prescription, or can you get them to your prescription, or what's that like with wearing these glasses?
00:24:43.644 --> 00:24:46.310
So I know you can get prescription for them.
00:24:46.310 --> 00:24:50.137
I haven't yet I haven't messed with that.
00:24:50.137 --> 00:24:51.888
I'm planning on doing it eventually.
00:24:51.888 --> 00:24:55.337
I just haven't set aside the money to do that yet.
00:24:55.337 --> 00:25:00.673
But, Shawna, what would you say, because I know you just wore them?
00:25:00.673 --> 00:25:04.413
Was it really blurry when you wore them with your contacts before you got on here?
00:25:05.326 --> 00:25:09.213
No, so it's just a plain glass, as far as I can tell.
00:25:09.213 --> 00:25:10.757
So I wear contacts as well.
00:25:10.757 --> 00:25:14.193
So when I was using them it was completely clear, just like normal.
00:25:14.193 --> 00:25:16.781
Yeah, I think that's.
00:25:16.781 --> 00:25:28.325
The only downfall is if someone only wears glasses and has a prescription, but doesn't want to pay the money to have a prescription put in their meta glasses, then that that's hard to use, right, ashton?
00:25:28.325 --> 00:25:34.188
Because you've tried using them, you know, without your glasses, and then, of course, you can't always see everything great.
00:25:34.188 --> 00:25:36.974
So I think if you have contacts, not a problem.
00:25:36.974 --> 00:25:39.211
If you have perfect vision, not a problem.
00:25:39.211 --> 00:25:42.424
Or if you get your prescription in them, not a problem.
00:25:42.424 --> 00:25:47.634
But otherwise, you know, if you have glasses, I think, then you're going to have some issues.
00:25:48.195 --> 00:25:50.298
Yeah, yeah, I know mine.
00:25:50.298 --> 00:25:58.449
I don't have prescriptions in mine and my glasses Like if I put these on I can see a lot better than with the Ray-Bans.
00:25:58.449 --> 00:26:06.258
But so I would definitely suggest if you wear glasses I would get the go ahead and pay and have the prescription lenses put in it.
00:26:06.258 --> 00:26:10.021
I know that they have a company that does that when you order them for meta.
00:26:13.664 --> 00:26:16.050
So that would be the way I would definitely go if you need those so kind of off.
00:26:16.050 --> 00:26:17.413
The same thing as translating.
00:26:17.413 --> 00:26:22.766
These are really good at reading and actually I just had Shawna test this with me too.
00:26:22.766 --> 00:26:32.452
When you take these and you put them on and everything, you can actually ask it to read a page and it will take a photo of a page of your book and read them to you and it actually sounds really nice.
00:26:32.452 --> 00:26:37.256
Or you can even ask it to summarize for you.
00:26:37.256 --> 00:26:48.548
So I took my book and I opened to the preface and I had it summarize the preface for me and it did really well, like it took all these.
00:26:48.548 --> 00:26:55.607
It took all these words and turned it to like maybe two sentences worth of summary.
00:26:55.607 --> 00:26:58.593
It was really, really impressive.
00:26:59.554 --> 00:27:02.117
Interesting, so it takes, you just ask it.
00:27:02.117 --> 00:27:04.080
You just look at something and what do you say?
00:27:05.986 --> 00:27:08.575
The exact command is hey, Meta, can you read this to me?
00:27:08.575 --> 00:27:11.573
You can say can you read this page to me?
00:27:11.573 --> 00:27:18.000
You can also say hey, Meta, please summarize this for me, oh, okay.
00:27:18.963 --> 00:27:19.265
Nice.
00:27:21.208 --> 00:27:33.938
I found this interesting when Ashton showed me what you know how to do it and what it felt like, what it you know sounded like, I found it very interesting that it said, just to give you a heads up, this is starting with the preface.
00:27:33.938 --> 00:27:49.432
Because that's just an interesting detail to me, because, of course, if you think you're starting a book, preface oftentimes is very different, or sometimes even just an introduction, and so I thought that was interesting.
00:27:49.432 --> 00:27:52.659
It's like, hey, don't think this is like the beginning of the book.
00:27:53.066 --> 00:27:57.517
If you're using these glasses to give you a summary of the book for your class, this is a preface.
00:27:57.517 --> 00:27:59.813
You probably want to go a little bit deeper than that.
00:28:01.746 --> 00:28:03.090
Yeah, exactly.
00:28:04.054 --> 00:28:04.255
Yeah.
00:28:05.806 --> 00:28:07.569
Where does this information go?
00:28:07.569 --> 00:28:11.818
Like in chat, gbt, you know it has like a text history.
00:28:11.818 --> 00:28:18.347
So if you're asking these things and you're asking it to, if you're asking questions and stuff, where does it go?
00:28:18.347 --> 00:28:18.749
Can you?
00:28:18.749 --> 00:28:20.954
Can you access that outside?
00:28:20.994 --> 00:28:22.137
the actual glasses.
00:28:22.137 --> 00:28:24.205
Where does it go?
00:28:24.205 --> 00:28:24.446
Can you?
00:28:24.446 --> 00:28:25.852
Can you access that outside the actual glasses?
00:28:25.852 --> 00:28:27.237
Yes, you can access it also in the companion app.
00:28:27.237 --> 00:28:29.545
There's a history log in the companion app and it also saves a photo.
00:28:29.545 --> 00:28:31.407
I think it saves the photo for like a month.
00:28:31.407 --> 00:28:41.665
Oh, okay so if you say, read this and you go back and look in the history, it's going to have that photo there so you can actually double check what it said and everything.
00:28:41.685 --> 00:28:43.007
And you said it's like would you call it a companion log?
00:28:43.007 --> 00:28:43.248
Is that you?
00:28:43.248 --> 00:28:45.349
It's going to have that photo there so you can actually double check what it said and everything?
00:28:45.349 --> 00:28:46.692
And you said it's like would you call it a companion log?
00:28:46.692 --> 00:28:47.192
Is that what you said?
00:28:47.192 --> 00:28:47.752
It's a companion app, okay.
00:28:47.752 --> 00:28:51.438
Is that accessible on a desktop or only on the meta app on the phone?
00:28:51.438 --> 00:28:51.857
I don't know.
00:28:52.558 --> 00:28:56.163
I don't know if it's accessible on desktop, I've only used it through a phone.
00:28:56.163 --> 00:29:04.298
I know it works on Apple, I know it works on Android, I don't know on Mac, linux and Windows, so that would definitely be something to check out.
00:29:05.924 --> 00:29:11.674
I would definitely like to know that, because if I could access the history on the computer, that would be probably easier than using the Meta app.
00:29:11.674 --> 00:29:15.492
So cool, now does it require a different app?
00:29:15.492 --> 00:29:17.790
We're not talking about the Facebook app, right?
00:29:17.810 --> 00:29:19.336
We're talking about yeah, it's a different app.
00:29:19.336 --> 00:29:20.830
That's why, yeah, it's a different app.
00:29:20.830 --> 00:29:22.017
That's why, yeah, it's a companion app.
00:29:22.017 --> 00:29:22.901
It's called MetaView.
00:29:22.901 --> 00:29:24.912
It's its own app.
00:29:24.912 --> 00:29:26.897
It doesn't use Facebook or Instagram.
00:29:28.626 --> 00:29:31.853
Okay, and how about storage space?
00:29:31.853 --> 00:29:32.413
Like?
00:29:32.413 --> 00:29:33.715
Is it?
00:29:33.715 --> 00:29:35.038
Does it record in the cloud?
00:29:35.038 --> 00:29:35.645
Is it, though?
00:29:35.645 --> 00:29:36.929
Is it actually the device?
00:29:36.969 --> 00:29:37.371
space.
00:29:37.371 --> 00:29:43.733
It stays on the glasses until it syncs to the app where you can choose to delete it where you want to.
00:29:43.733 --> 00:29:46.965
Uh, you can have it specified when you go to delete something.
00:29:46.965 --> 00:29:51.240
Delete only from meta view, delete from glasses, delete from phone.
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.211
Okay, all right, those are your three options.
00:29:54.211 --> 00:29:56.652
It will record by itself.
00:29:56.652 --> 00:30:00.151
Like I was kind of telling you when I was fishing, I can walk to the other side of the lake.
00:30:00.151 --> 00:30:01.611
It'll still take photos and record.
00:30:01.611 --> 00:30:03.391
It just doesn't immediately sync.
00:30:03.391 --> 00:30:08.994
Can't play music, can't use Meta AI, okay so, now that you said that, here's a concern.
00:30:09.545 --> 00:30:12.789
Should people be taking these things off when they go in bathrooms and stuff like that, or what?
00:30:13.510 --> 00:30:14.491
so it is meta.
00:30:14.491 --> 00:30:18.176
It meta is known for data collection.
00:30:18.176 --> 00:30:23.816
I don't know how much it is leaving the companion app.
00:30:23.816 --> 00:30:30.192
I personally don't wear them in the bathroom, uh, so take that as you will.
00:30:30.192 --> 00:30:30.792
I'm not.
00:30:30.792 --> 00:30:33.557
Meta is pretty protective over stuff.
00:30:33.557 --> 00:30:36.750
It's pretty hard to find that information.
00:30:36.750 --> 00:30:43.867
So I'll leave that part at that interesting.
00:30:45.632 --> 00:30:47.415
I just thought that would be a good concern there.
00:30:49.888 --> 00:30:53.719
Yeah, I, um, it is meta so I don't trust them in that sense.
00:30:53.719 --> 00:31:00.055
But it's also meta, which means they have really good uh, a really good user interface.
00:31:00.055 --> 00:31:02.150
They're good at that with their social media apps.
00:31:02.150 --> 00:31:06.888
They're good at their sound design, so kind of how you were talking about before, brian, about it beeping.
00:31:06.888 --> 00:31:09.935
It's not an annoying beep, it's not like an oven beep.
00:31:09.935 --> 00:31:12.230
That's like just always annoying you.
00:31:12.230 --> 00:31:14.428
It's actually a really nice beep.
00:31:14.587 --> 00:31:26.334
It's never bothered me, it's actually been very informative when it you know if you're not talking to them and they think you're talking to them they do a little beep before they start talking, and so it doesn't really catch you off guard.
00:31:26.334 --> 00:31:27.986
It's just kind of I don't know.
00:31:27.986 --> 00:31:28.969
It's kind of just there.
00:31:28.969 --> 00:31:30.694
It lets you know that something's happening.
00:31:35.005 --> 00:31:36.009
Well, I definitely know it's kind of just there.
00:31:36.009 --> 00:31:37.053
It lets you know that something's happening.
00:31:37.053 --> 00:31:39.964
Well, I definitely know I've enjoyed them on my reflection time because I didn't think I would enjoy listening to music on as much as I do.
00:31:39.964 --> 00:31:51.374
But I really love them because it's so different to be able to walk around and still hear the nature around you and hear music silently or a podcast, and not have things stuck in my ears.
00:31:51.374 --> 00:32:00.056
So I've been really amazed with I didn't think I would like that would be that important, but it really helps me be present even while wearing the glasses.
00:32:00.056 --> 00:32:05.520
So I love this spatial audio and I think it's a great, great thing and I love.
00:32:05.540 --> 00:32:08.632
How like you got you know you can control everything by touching and swiping.
00:32:08.632 --> 00:32:12.508
Just type touching the glasses to turn up the volume, turn it down.
00:32:14.664 --> 00:32:15.086
It's just amazing.
00:32:15.086 --> 00:32:16.448
What's that?
00:32:16.448 --> 00:32:17.950
The gestures are amazing.
00:32:18.330 --> 00:32:19.952
Yeah, they're great, and that's why I mean it's.
00:32:19.952 --> 00:32:22.336
You could also just ask it to do it, but it's very nice.
00:32:22.336 --> 00:32:24.519
You can just lightly swipe on the glasses.
00:32:27.904 --> 00:32:28.666
Does it have the ability?
00:32:28.666 --> 00:32:37.555
You know, like Brian you talked about the plod was called plod or plod note, uh in the past about how it will record and then in the app it transcribes for you.
00:32:37.555 --> 00:32:48.709
Does it have an option like that, like if you're listening to a speech or something, that you could record it and then yeah, I was just curious I can check real quick, I can check.
00:32:49.509 --> 00:32:55.839
I know that it does do the transcripts for what it sees on its image.
00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:01.535
I don't know if it does audio because its mics are really good.
00:33:01.535 --> 00:33:18.555
It points specifically at you because I've walked around on the phone before and people can't hear outside of the glasses, which I've been really impressed by because actually when I flew to ohio recently I called you guys and it it.
00:33:18.555 --> 00:33:20.397
You guys can't even tell it was just so.
00:33:20.397 --> 00:33:20.798
Here's the.
00:33:20.798 --> 00:33:21.907
Here's the downside.
00:33:21.948 --> 00:33:22.829
I don't think it will work.
00:33:22.829 --> 00:33:24.334
And here's the here's the reason why.
00:33:24.334 --> 00:33:36.773
Uh, I love what you're talking about with the mic action, because even when I had them on whenever you said meta, like it didn't recognize you saying that, so it wasn't going off on my face, so it must be a directional mic when you're speaking.
00:33:36.773 --> 00:33:49.617
If I, if I record a video, what's really cool about it is actually uses it uses spatial audio, so like if you're on my left side and then someone else is on the right when it records, it's using that.
00:33:49.617 --> 00:33:52.654
So if you play it back, that person is going to be on the left speaker, the right speaker.
00:33:52.654 --> 00:33:56.707
So that's really cool.
00:33:56.727 --> 00:33:57.789
But here's the here's.
00:33:57.789 --> 00:34:02.365
The reason why I say it probably doesn't do that is there's only a three minute time limit on recording anything I was just gonna mention.
00:34:02.365 --> 00:34:17.175
So where, like the plot, I can hit record, like and I got this new one now, so I'll have to cover that next time but I can hit record, I can record as long as I want and it's taking all the notes and then and then takes it into ai and does all the summaries and stuff like that.
00:34:17.175 --> 00:34:19.711
So I don't think that it can do that.
00:34:19.711 --> 00:34:26.891
To that ability plus the battery life on those on these glasses aren't like top of the line, I think what they say like.
00:34:26.891 --> 00:34:33.335
I think if you turn off the meta ai it's about four to six hours, but with it it on it's like two hours.
00:34:33.865 --> 00:34:40.936
I was actually just working on getting around to that, so I'm actually really impressed because they advertise very low numbers.
00:34:40.936 --> 00:34:49.577
I've gotten very high numbers out of mine the entire time I used them for the reel that I published.
00:34:49.577 --> 00:34:52.230
I was recording.
00:34:52.230 --> 00:35:05.784
I think I got like I think I was recording about an hour that day and anytime I wasn't recording I probably was actually closer to two hours, but anytime I wasn't recording I was playing music and they went the whole day without ever being put in their case.
00:35:06.405 --> 00:35:17.690
So that was roughly six hours of music, two hours of recording, and I filled up at storage twice recording where I had to go to the meta app.
00:35:17.690 --> 00:35:24.630
I had to remove all from glasses, make sure all was saved to my phone and then just kept recording.
00:35:24.630 --> 00:35:28.838
So I don't know if this is the Wayfair large.
00:35:28.838 --> 00:35:32.733
It may have a larger battery, so that is possible.
00:35:32.733 --> 00:35:42.704
The limited editions do not come in large, so it may have a smaller battery, but I don't know why they would do that.
00:35:42.704 --> 00:35:44.710
Well, because they were connected to my phone the entire time.
00:35:44.710 --> 00:35:56.333
In fact, actually my phone almost died multiple times during that trip because the Ray-Bans were outliving the phone, so I'm not sure.
00:35:56.333 --> 00:35:57.791
That's kind of a gray area.
00:35:58.684 --> 00:35:59.246
I do like that.
00:35:59.246 --> 00:36:01.614
You can put the phones you charge the case.
00:36:01.614 --> 00:36:08.855
So once you charge the case you can put the glasses back in here and it'll charge them back up, so that is a nice feature of the case.
00:36:09.724 --> 00:36:14.072
So what is the price point on these bad boys?
00:36:15.094 --> 00:36:17.157
so they can go anywhere.
00:36:17.157 --> 00:36:20.289
So these are 300, I believe.
00:36:20.289 --> 00:36:25.277
If you get the special lenses put in them, the they have a transition.
00:36:25.277 --> 00:36:28.028
If you get transition you have actually.
00:36:28.409 --> 00:36:30.114
Yeah, the ones that you have are actually.
00:36:30.114 --> 00:36:33.534
Those are actually let me correct you those are like around 400 and something.
00:36:33.534 --> 00:36:34.186
So cause.
00:36:34.206 --> 00:36:35.271
Those have transitional lenses.
00:36:35.271 --> 00:36:36.871
That's what I'm, that's what I'm trying to get to.
00:36:36.871 --> 00:36:38.648
They're $300.
00:36:38.648 --> 00:36:51.896
With transitional lenses it adds $70 to that price, and then the limited editions are, or were, slightly more, and then I don't know how much it costs to put prescriptions in.
00:36:51.896 --> 00:36:53.150
I don't know if that is covered.
00:36:53.150 --> 00:36:54.688
I'm assuming it's not.
00:36:54.688 --> 00:37:02.371
It's probably not and from what I understand, you can get transitionals and prescriptions, because that's what I'm going to be doing.
00:37:02.987 --> 00:37:03.750
Yeah, that makes sense.
00:37:04.005 --> 00:37:05.125
So they're moderately priced.
00:37:05.125 --> 00:37:12.668
They're a little expensive, especially compared to some other AI things, but they're also very good and they're glasses.
00:37:12.668 --> 00:37:17.454
So once you take into account that their glasses, people pay more than that just for a pair of sunglasses.
00:37:17.454 --> 00:37:20.760
So it's kind of on the in-between.
00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:21.501
So I think they're.
00:37:21.501 --> 00:37:23.536
I think they're like between three 500.
00:37:24.923 --> 00:37:27.653
Yeah, that's actually not as much as I thought you were going to say.
00:37:27.653 --> 00:37:34.414
I honestly was thinking closer to like 800 plus actually.
00:37:35.175 --> 00:37:37.340
Really Wow they.
00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:39.391
I mean they feel like they could be yeah.
00:37:39.411 --> 00:37:44.313
So and I wonder if you know how, like oh sorry, oh no, go ahead.
00:37:44.313 --> 00:38:04.050
I was just going to say I wonder if, as they continue to improve, if they'll have like a version that is more affordable for people, just so more people can have access to them, that you know how iPhones have different levels, maybe they'll have different levels of glasses as well.
00:38:05.914 --> 00:38:09.927
I could see that yeah, I could see lower quality cameras and you know a few things like that.
00:38:09.927 --> 00:38:10.891
I could definitely see that.
00:38:10.891 --> 00:38:15.248
Uh, just a few more things I just wanted to cover real quick.
00:38:15.248 --> 00:38:19.577
Uh, they are kind of like what I was telling you guys.
00:38:19.577 --> 00:38:20.947
They're really good with their cameras.
00:38:20.947 --> 00:38:26.188
Uh, I've used them to id a few different items and to give me history on a few different items.
00:38:26.730 --> 00:38:28.835
So I had it check out my polaroid camera.
00:38:28.835 --> 00:38:32.775
It could tell me the exact model, the year, what kind of film it took.
00:38:32.775 --> 00:38:36.715
I had it help me with some brainstorming questions.
00:38:36.715 --> 00:38:42.989
I'm designing a little lure, so I have it drawn in my notebook and I had it help me paint it.
00:38:42.989 --> 00:38:47.592
So it came up with like you should put pink on it because the bass like the color pink.
00:38:47.592 --> 00:38:59.536
They strike that because they believe it's injured, and to put little green stripes going down it on a base coat of green and it I mean it's done a lot.
00:38:59.536 --> 00:39:01.099
Even like the little board in the back.
00:39:01.099 --> 00:39:03.750
I had it describe everything that was on the board.
00:39:03.789 --> 00:39:11.293
So, like it went through and said this note says this this handwritten note says this there's jewelry hanging off of it.
00:39:11.293 --> 00:39:13.077
There are fedoras next to it.
00:39:13.077 --> 00:39:26.418
Uh, there appears to be like passes, like concert passes hanging off of it, all kinds of things, like it's done really, really well, even going down to like, hey, is this room considered clean?
00:39:26.418 --> 00:39:28.447
Would you call this hotel room clean?
00:39:28.447 --> 00:39:38.400
Uh, and it would tell me that when I, when I asked it about this room, it was like this room is clean, but there are books on the ground because there's books sitting in the corner.
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:46.971
It was like so I would get a shelf for that and I was like, yeah, I'm not doing that, I like my passion, I think that what I, what my takeaway on this is.
00:39:47.152 --> 00:40:02.389
I think that really what sets these things apart and why the like why you're saying the meta ai is like one of the top ones that you've like you feel right now is because it's a, it's the ai version that actually sees what you're seeing.
00:40:02.389 --> 00:40:09.498
It's it's not like like chat, gbt, like they have video formats on here now where you can actually ask it and it's looking at you and stuff like that.
00:40:09.498 --> 00:40:10.603
But I guess you could.
00:40:10.603 --> 00:40:26.456
You might be able to reverse your phone I haven't tested that, but being able to naturally have the glasses on and not have to pull out your phone and ask all that and you can just talk to your glasses and it responds, I think that's an amazing use case for AI in a wearable.
00:40:26.456 --> 00:40:27.438
I think that's the thing.
00:40:27.605 --> 00:40:35.657
This is one of the first wearables out there for AI, so I would love to hear other people's thoughts on the podcast.
00:40:35.657 --> 00:40:36.364
If you're listening, let us know.
00:40:36.364 --> 00:40:39.134
Click the text us message on the show notes.
00:40:39.134 --> 00:40:51.411
Let us know some of the thoughts that you have, maybe some ideas or questions you have about these meta AI Ray-Bans like, maybe some use cases that you might have or some concerns we would love to hear from you as well.
00:40:51.411 --> 00:40:54.092
Ashton, do you have anything else you want to wrap up with?
00:40:54.885 --> 00:41:09.827
I mean, they're just great glasses and I've really enjoyed using them and, as far as I know, they're the only smart wearable including AI wearable that looks like normal glasses, like if you saw these.
00:41:09.827 --> 00:41:17.594
They don't look like they're, you know, big, clunky, like, basically like a VR headset.
00:41:17.594 --> 00:41:19.882
They're just really nice looking.
00:41:19.882 --> 00:41:26.307
So, even if you weren't going to use the features as much, it might be worth just getting a pair of the sunglasses because they are Ray-Ban.
00:41:26.307 --> 00:41:27.771
The sunglasses are amazing.
00:41:27.791 --> 00:41:30.518
So just imagine when Orion comes out.
00:41:30.518 --> 00:41:33.092
That's going to be a whole game changer.
00:41:33.092 --> 00:41:36.670
Augmented reality in glasses like that it's going to be incredible.
00:41:36.670 --> 00:41:42.432
