Meta Glasses, don't leave the USA without them

I am 62 so not using these for content creation. But I truly enjoy them.

I use them on the golf course with the Arccos app. Works really well.

But I found the best use was during a two week trip in Italy. They were invaluable. Whether we had a guide or not, I had one in my ear the entire time! Took the hands free queries to the next level

"Whats this building and give me the history"

"What am I looking at and what's the significance "

"Read this plaque in English" (Often Italian or Latin)

"Who created this painting"

"Read this placcard in English" Then I could proceed to walk around as Meta read me the info, instead of standing at the entrance trying to read it all first then walk thru.

"Give me directions to..."

"Text wife..where are you"....those cathedrals are massive 😀 (Got her a pair before we left)

I took significantly more photos and videos than I would have by pulling out my phone (which I find cumbersome) all with simple voice commands or a tap. The picture quality is very good. I did crop or adjust some during the trip. There is a few minute lag for the photos to hit your phone

Also used the live translation.

I would never travel to another country without them.

Personally think Meta is missing a marketing opportunity to an older crowd.
