Does any one have these and actually use them for anything? I was gifted a pair from someone who probably used it for an hour or two and got bored of them. But beyond using them like headphones, or asking what kind of plant I'm looking at I don't understand the use case. The other day an ad for them came up, and I actually watched it thinking oh maybe ill see what they think you should use it for. It might as well have been an ad for normal sunglasses.
- MPSFounder 1y agoSaw lots of them on Marketplace. Seems like they are useless. I bought an apple vision pro for 1100 (MINT condition) because the owner only used it to watch movies but couldn't share them with his wife. It just sat unused. I am very curious as to what will make this type of tech kick off. It seems to be a solution in search of a problem. I used mine to watch videos and for trivial things
- jjeaff 1y agoThere is one feature I want from a product like this and that is to use facial recognition to remind me of the person's name. I have always been terrible at names (I think I'm a little bit face blind as well) and being able to remember everyone's name is such a super power.
- baobun 1y agoSome significant development needed before this can be done ethically (asking everyone you are talking to to consent to having their names and faces matched at your service provider cloud is likely more awkward than asking what their name was again). In theory that feature is possible to do in a privacy-respecting manner but that will certainly not be introduced by Meta.
- jjeaff 1y agoSeems like if they are one of my linked-in contacts or Facebook friend and they have their face publicly available on their profile, then it would be fair game.
- nadis 1y agoHave met someone that mentioned using them for taking photos of their kid while playing together in a hands-free way to capture cute moments but it sounded very much like a hobbyist use case not their intended purpose necessarily.
- izend 1y agoI have a neighbor who is functionally blind and he considering getting a pair to help him identify objects he picks up.
- sweca 1y agoThe best feature is capturing photos and recording life's moments with a button, but that's also not something I'd want to introduce to my friend group for its own privacy and ethical reasons (vs. the implicit consent you have with the motions of pulling out a phone)
