There’s a certain allure to smart glasses that bulky mixed-reality headsets lack.
The question is, can you still end upbeingridiculous while wearing them?
The update is set to transform the wearable from just another pair of voice-enabled glasses into an always-on-your-face assistant.
I must admit, I found the walkthrough more intriguing than I expected.
In the confines of their homes, they spoke full voice and asked Meta AI.
“What am I looking at?”
They also enabled transcription so we could see what they asked and the responses Meta AI provided.
It was, in their experience, quite good at identifying their dogs' breed.
However, when they took the smart glasses to the zoo, Meta AI struggled to identify far-away animals.
In fact, Meta AI got a lot wrong.
At least it’s not hallucinating (“that’s a unicorn!
“), just getting it wrong.
Of course, that’s not really what was happening.
The creep factor
This, for me, remains the fundamental flaw in many of these wearables.
So, I’m of two minds.
I just say, “Hey Meta” and the smart glasses wake up, ready to help.
Plus, the access to visuals might cut down on the conversation, and I would appreciate that.
