Apple sold more vision pro(s) then Meta sold of their RayBans your saying? No official numbers from Facebook rather speculation of up to a million have been so

Apple sold more vision pro(s) then Meta sold of their RayBans your saying? No official numbers from Facebook rather speculation of up to a million have been sold. Also as the majority of those who review meta's raybans share the same positive thoughts /experience of my own. It's just a ton easier to take pics and videos overall and especially when driving (hey Meta take a pic).

The Ray-Ban Metas are actually amazing, I am surprised they are not more popular! They've completely changed vacations for me. No longer do I have to look at <event> through my phone. I can be much more present - I can see it with my actual eyes and just be confident that the memory will be captured. The image/video quality is quite good. The audio quality is also surprisingly good - I can listen to music while still enjoying the nature around me (in a way I like more than passthrough on the AirPods.) I don't really care for the AI, but maybe one day they'll give us Llama 3 400b and it'll be good too.

  > No longer do I have to look at <event> through my phone. To be honest, you’ve never had to enjoy <event> through the phone. Many people have enjoyed <event> without having a phone, especially prior to the arrival of mobile phones. And perhaps for the better. To be more in the moment.

    Yeah and how much do you actually look back? I don't really ever.

    One of the biggest "welcome to tech" moments for me* was attending WWDC 2013 Vampire Weekend concert. Everyone front row is standing still holding their phones up. Didn't hit me until your comment, but, maybe the other side of that coin is I'm never looking at photos and videos of the past. * not-CS college dropout > waiter > ipad point of sale startup > sold > Google

    Yes, but now I get the best of both worlds – I can enjoy the event, and be confident that the memory will be saved.

  Cool to see other early adopters singing their praises too and again The majority who review the Ray ban smart glasses say the same thing

Right. Speculation and general excitement about stuff that's been around for a while, in 2012 I couldn't get over Glass. Snapchat Spectacles. Graveyard is filled with vibes successes. And the Ray-Bans haven't gotten a fraction of the attention either of those got, or a fraction or a fraction of Spectacles mass appeal. I'm still waiting to hear about it outside tech.
