I bought mine last year and use them practically everyday - mostly as headphones/microphone, but taking photos/videos ocasionally too.
While I never planned to use them as a headphones, there is something surprisingly pleasant about not needing to put yet another gadget in your ears. And the sound feels more like coming from the environment and not directly emerging in your ears. Talking to ChatGPT with Advanced Voice mode or listening a podcast during a walk or bike ride or so is a really nice experience with these. Receiving calls is fun too.
Camera is really interesting to use in some unusual scenarios, like POV view of a ballet teacher or figure skating couple performing a death spiral. I give them to try to my friends when I see an opportunity to film something like that. That's really fun and sometimes illuminating.
I briefly enjoyed playing with Meta AI. One use case was "listening the podcast, encounter unknown term or name, ask "Hey Meta, explain <word> meaning", and back to listening without even lifting a finger". But then Meta disabled it in the country I'm in (I bought it in airport in another country), so only basic voice commands are working, which is fine.
- tough 2y agosomething like a vpn might let u use those geo restricted features

I've recently thought that a killer bit of hardware would be a way to interact with an LLM by voice without other people thinking you're talking to them and saying "what?". I was imagining the return of those classic bluetooth headseats, or some combo of earbud and throat mic, but the Ray Bans seem like they might be an option, too.
- dpig_ 2y agoI don't know, I think that would still require people to change their assumptions about glasses. Currently, I don't assume someone is talking to their sunnies.
- fennecfoxy 2y agoIrrelevant really, because plenty of people use plug style ear buds that you can't obviously see in their ears. If someone is talking to thin air then I always presume they're on a call with someone.
- numpad0 2y agoThis + a button on watch to feed last x seconds of environmental data to a local micro LLM could be interesting. "The user pressed button as the word `cromulent` was spoken by unidentified individual in front of ...", "The user seemed to have been engaged in a snowboarding session when the button was pressed, ...", "The user was screaming `computer LOCKDOWN LOC-aaagh` as they..."
- cco 2y agoMeta's AI assistant can take in a picture today along with your prompt. Pretty basic and unfortunately tied only to their AI assistant but along the lines of what you're talking about. If they opened up the glasses and all of their cameras to other AI models, it'd be pretty powerful. Alas, walled gardens. I would bet OpenAI is working on some similar hardware to compete. Google was right in the end, just ten years too soon with Google Glass.
- UltraSane 2y agoBest way to do this is a with a wireless one hand chorded keyboard. A fancier solution would be detecting subvocalizations. That would feel almost like mind-reading
