So I’ve been thinking about getting them for awhile mainly because I’m a parent and a lot of times when I’m at the park or playing with my son it just feels awkward to pull out my phone and my toddler immediately knows I’m recording him or will ask my to put my phone away. I just worry about people being creeped out about them, I don’t plan on removing the light or anything but I also see why people do, like if I take him to the zoo or museum wouldn’t everyone immediately be staring at you cause there’s a light on your face even though you’re recording some time with your own child? I do have regular glasses I wear daily so should I just keep those as a backup on me at all times or something? That also seems annoying.

Maybe I’m over thinking all of this? Haha! Thanks, from a dad!

Has anyone's celebrity voices reappeared or are we all still living with three to choose from?

Judi Dench, John Cena et Al disappeared a few weeks ago then returned only to disappear again. Are they gone for good or will they come back? I do hope they're not being moved behind a paywall as part of the Meta subscription plans

Hi, I'm a journalist/broadcaster. I'm looking to speak to anyone who's been affected by the ban on MetaGlasses in UK cinemas or Wetherspoons about their experience. I'm trying to focus specifically on those with disabilities not being able to participate in these activities because of the ban. If this is you, or you know someone I could speak to (ideally in the London area), drop me a DM !!

Has anyone experienced the Meta light and sound coming on during normal conversation? It comes on even with out me saying “Hey Meta” . Its been happening to me a lot more frequently.

I have 2 pair of Gen 2s… I can’t wear them for more than 30min to an hour, at most, before my nose starts to get irritated and start itching.

Only my right nostril starts to become where the nose opening on right touches my nose. Kind of leaves a light burn it seems and stays for a day or so.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I’m about ready to sell them, or, start a class action suit lol

My case was stolen days after I bought the gen 3 wayfarers. I’ve contacted meta, ray ban, and all the third party sellers. No one sells a gen 3 charger. Is there any available options that you know of?

Woot has new charging cases that work with gen1 and gen2 rayban meta glasses

Hey all. I am a process server and I use these glasses to document all of my proofs of service. I also have a requirement that I stay connected to my partner in the vehicle via phone call. Unfortunately I have not found a way to record video and remain connected to a call at the same time. Has anyone found a workaround for this? I am using the Gen 3 Wayfarers.

PS I cannot use WhatsApp on a work phone because these phones can be subpoenaed. So that workaround is not viable.

I'm really enjoying using Muse on my phone but I'm wondering: do we know if Meta intends to also push this to their Ray-Ban glasses line and their VR headsets and glasses that are launching next year?

I lost my glasses somewhere and they popped up in the middle of nowhere in my town, so likely someone grabbed them

Does it work like airtags or?

I have Ray-Ban Meta glasses for about 3 weeks now and they completely changed the way I use devices.

I walk a lot, usually with my dog, and never liked the normal phone workflow for simple things. If I want to take a photo, I have to pull out my iphone, sometimes unlock it, open the camera, take the photo, then put it back. None of that feels natural. I don’t even like carrying a phone in my pocket.

With glasses, taking a photo is one action. Because of that, I take way more photos now. Mostly photos of my dog and squirrels or trees that getting a little more yellow every day.

The same thing happened with audio. I started listening to much more music because my ears are still open. The sound is clean, you can even hear lyrics more clearly word by word. Calls now only through glasses.

And they remove the phone from a lot of small interactions.

Take a photo.
Ask a quick question.
Set a reminder or timer.
Make a note.
Photo of product I want to remember.
Log something like food or calories.

I spend most of my day working at a desk with 2 monitors, so reducing the number of times I have to pick up another screen has been nice. I use my phone much less now.

I also don’t really understand the level of concern around public recording with glasses. From my perspective, nothing changed. People record around me countless times without any permission. But I never knowingly been recorded by someone wearing smart glasses cause world has billions of phones and idk 100 000 glasses?. And if someone secretly recorded me, then by definition I probably wouldn’t know they used a phone, glasses, or superduper spy camera that amazon sells for 20$.

If you already wear glasses, especially prescription glasses, it makes even more sense. You already wearing the object anyway, and now it can replace your headphones, camera, and a bunch of small phone interactions.

This is probably my fav new device in years.
