>Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses—built in collaboration with eyewear juggernaut EssilorLuxottica—have become a surprise hit. Since launching the second generation in October 2023, they’ve sold more than 2 million units.

This is news to me.

Does anyone know someone with them / how they're using them?

bookofjoe•5mo ago
I have each of the three versions, purchased the first day they were released.

Each iteration is better than the last in terms of speed/storage/visual capabilities/battery life.

I use mine to make videos for my YouTube channel: they are far superior to iPhone camera for this purpose because of their killer app: hands-free!

dlcarrier•5mo ago
I saw one person wearing them at Open Sauce last month.

I also saw one person wearing an Apple Vision Pro, one person wearing a hat made from the rind of a piel de sapo melon, one person in a Katamari Damacy cosplay, and one person in a fursuit.

duxup•5mo ago
TY, I'm guessing those are less common uses ;)
evaXhill•5mo ago
From personal experience (London based), I’ve seen a least 2 meta x rayban shops in high traffic areas, which never seem to be empty. Adding to that, recently on social media someone expressed a similar sentiment until they saw what the glasses themselves look like, then realized they looked like ordinary glasses and are undistinguishable if the recording light is covered by black masking tape
duxup•5mo ago
Yeah I don't know that I would know if I saw them, just don't know anyone with them / what they're up to with them.
evaXhill•5mo ago
Unfortunately I’ve seen some use it for rage baiting purposes then catching peoples reaction without the knowledge that they are being filmed, but on the bright side I guess it’s useful for travelling without looking like an obnoxious tourist/influencer with their phones out constantly

> are undistinguishable if the recording light is covered by black masking tape

Is that a viable thing? I thought they'd put in a check so that they wouldn't record if the light was covered.

I hope there's a way to distinguish these from regular RayBans so I don't have to avoid everyone wearing RayBans at all.

bookofjoe•5mo ago
They did. The second iteration alluded to, introduced in September 2023, makes them inoperable for photos/videos if the recording light is covered.
