Is there anyway to bypass Meta on these? Or is there an open source version in the works?
Interested to see what could be done locally with always-on visual capture + LLMs. Not interested in sending that data to Meta.
- magixx 2y agoA bypass is not possible. I believe the raybans meta have an "always on" AI mode/session now. To be honest, the biggest issue with the glasses is battery life and I don't see that changing any time soon. It doesn't matter what LLM processes your data if it can only do it for one hour per charge.
- tiahura 2y agoWouldn’t it make sense to offload the ai to the phone?
- magixx 2y agoThe AI stuff is already offloaded to Meta servers via your phone. I don't think there are any models AI that would be able to run natively on phones with acceptable performance. Even if it did, my experience with video calls and the glasses are that the battery only lasts about 45minutes so I'm guessing slightly better performance for always on AI depending on what features you use.
- veverkap 2y agoSo no way to get rid of the AI portion and just have it be speakers and a camera that I wear on my face? Darn it
- magixx 2y agoYou can use it like this, it's just that it's integrated with Meta's companion app which also has AI capabilities. Personally, I found the AI capabilities kind of lackluster now but I'm sure more features will be added in the future. The most useful features I found were taking quick photos and video calls with friends and family while away on work trips. Music playback was also decent but it eats up the limited battery.
- unsupp0rted 2y agoI have the AI turned off on mine. This doubled my battery life. I wear them every day when I’m not at home. I think I go something like 7 or 8 (?) hours now between charges.
