It's gonna be great for these display glasses to have 1st party apps and integrations with existing apps, but it could be awhile or never since it's such a potentially small user base that app devs won't put in the effort.

So as a stopgap, I think it would be great to have a companion app that can mirror the phone display to the glasses (like phone link for windows does) and then the neural band actions can be passed through to the phone (including writing and voice to text) so the glasses and band can be used to control the phone and get access to any app on the phone.

It wouldn't be much different than navigating Android with DPad on any Bluetooth controller.

Any app developers out there willing to take this on?

Is there any way to access phone file system in meta ray ban display web app? (eg: have <input type="file"> on the display web app and have it open file selector on phone and then send the file to the web app running on the phone)

I've tried using the glasses to text back to a group message and it sometimes goes into a duplicate thread as the warning "replies may be sent to duplicate thread" mentions. Why does that happen? Any way to get it to work correctly?

Before firmware v1.9.0 we were able to cycle through display options with side view using the X Button, but now it only cycles through follow and fixed, not side view, and we either need to go into the menu to activate side view or set it to the quick action button.

Any way to change a setting to make it so you can include it as part of the cycling?

Why do you think they decided to go with a proprietary charger for the neural band instead of just USB-C? Seems like it's thick enough to support usbc, but maybe the port would have taken up too much space?

It's just kind of a pain to have to carry around yet another charger, especially for something that doesn't have great battery life.

Just got the glasses a few days ago, and Meta AI is terrible. I even have the latest update which I think has spark or whatever and is suppose to be good. Examples of the chat linked.

I couldn't have it set a reminder (link), have it tell me the weather or if it's going to rain (link), tell me local community pool hours, have it check a flight time that was listed on my calendar (link), pull up an area in my hotel and navigate to it.

Is it really this bad, especially in comparison to other AIs like Google Gemini or ChatGPT? Or is there some setting I need to change to improve it? Because this is an awful experience for smart glasses that are suppose to have AI integration.

UPDATE: Reinstalling the app seems to have resolved the issues I was having and it's correctly responding to inquiries now.
