Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses - Unboxing - Setup - Initial Thoughts

I have been using camera glasses of some sort since the beginning with my www.ReplicaAirguns.com channel, starting off with actual ski type goggles that had a built in camera which was not ideal as they were super bulky. I did eventually get some camera glasses that where actual glasses and looked more or less like oversized sunglasses without the dark lenses but they where a big improvement over the ski goggles I was using. For the past 2-3 years I have been using my iVue Vista Camera Glasses for making these videos and they have worked pretty well for the most part but none of the camera glasses I have used in the past have any type of image stabilization which does make for some erratic video head movement.

So when I came across the Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses, which I quickly learned and saw had some decent stabilization in them I thought maybe it's time to upgrade my camera glasses. The Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses also do a lot more than typical Camera glasses. Not only do they have a stabilized 12mp camera with 1080p+ resolution, the Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses has some very good audio for recording and hearing with a 5 mic setup and some actual usable in arm speakers. On top of the superior audio, the Ray Ban Meta's have "Hey Meta" which is like Siri or Google Assistant but it can also tap into Meta AI and do even more in terms of voice commands. You will even be able to look at something and ask Meta what you are looking at and Meta will tell you all about it.

I do hope to use the Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses for a lot more than when I do my Replica Airguns Shooting Videos, I hope to use them for more spontaneous video recording on my www.GetFitOver40.com channel since they are super easy to use and you always have them ready to record.

I did order the Sunglass version but regretted it almost immediately, and so I have ordered the transitions lens version so I can use my Ray Ban Meta's both inside and out. The other negative feature for me is that the video camera records in portrait mode only and for only up to 1 minute in length. I do think I can work with this limitation as the video quality is good enough to allow for zooming and cropping when need be, and I should be able to work around the 1 minute recording time limitation by recording more selectively and simply starting another 1 min video when I need for additional time.

In this Ray Ban Meta AI Smart Glasses video, watch me Unbox, Setup and record some initial videos. I also talk a bit about why I got them and what my initial thoughts are after checking them out.

Working in VR with the Meta Quest 3

Want to live in the future right now? Well at least the cool neat part of what the future holds... I'm not so sure about the general direction we are headed but when it comes to tech and computer advancements there is a lot of amazing stuff we are going to be able to do or can even do right now.

In this quick example video I show you how I am working these days using a Virtual Reality setup by taking advantage of what the Meta Quest 3 VR Headset can do using a piece of software called Immersed that simulates multiple computer monitors in Virtual Reality allowing me to use my MacBook Air without a physical external monitor and giving me up to 4 more virtual monitors which is something imposable for my MacBook to do in real life.

I have the choice of working in a Virtual Office space or be in my physical room using something called pass through that allows me by means of dual cameras on the Meta Quest 3 VR Glasses to use a mixed reality where I can see my actual office with Virtual Reality Monitors added in. It is hard to explain how good this all works and the video I show you is not even close to the real world Experience I get first hand.

I can also work in Virtual Reality alone or in a public space so I can feel like I am work along side others or by myself depending on how I want to work. You can communicate with other people in these public settings or decide to be in a private mode if you would rather have privacy and perhaps work a bit more productively.

Right now I am actually working in VR writing this article in my actual office using the pass through feature and the experience is amazing. There is a bit of a learning curve and you need to figure out a slightly different workflow, but for me it is 100% worth it as now I can take my office and 4 monitor setup anywhere I go as long as I have my MacBook and Meta Quest VR Headset.
