Meta Ray Ben Display Hand on: The best smart glasses I have ever tried

I want to present this hand by saying that I have been suspected of smart glasses for many years. In 2019, I even made a two -part mini -documentary film, with a dissertation that consumers cannot be smart glasses without widespread social and technological changes. Well, color me pink and let me find a shoe to eat. After receiving the Demo of Met 799 Meta -Ray Ray Display, I am sure that this is closest to us 10 years ago by Google Glass.

Glasses look just like a pair of rays. But keep them, apply your middle finger twice, and a display will appear in front of your right eye, and will shake in front of your vision. This has not increased in reality that is as high as in the real world as on demand, menu of all purposes with handwritten apps. You can use it to view your photo text messages, Instagram rails, maps, or previews, let you do all kinds of work without pulling your phone. In fact, since it connects to your phone, it works like a popup extension.

The display depicts apps in full color with 600 by -600 pixel resolution and 20 degree field. It has a heavy 5,000 Maximum brightness nuts, yet only 2 % light leakage, which means it is impossible for people around you to see if they are there. Each pair of display glasses comes with the transfer lens, and the brightness depends on the UV light. Since it is solidarity, the display appears in only one lens, and when it can be a bit disturbing, it does not completely hinder your vision.

My colleague J Petters was looking at me when I was reading a text message, and he couldn’t see his clue. I stepped into a sunny area outside, and when it was difficult to see the display first, it came to a close attention with the implementation of the transfer lenses. (Although you stare directly, even 5,000 nets can’t compete with the sun. Sub -note: Do not stare at the sun directly.)

When you Are Looking at the screen, your conversation partner can’t see what you are seeing, and will be able to tell that you are a bit engaged. Jay immediately. Just looked at my demo, and then, we jokingly: Forget the phone at the dinner table – now you need to worry that if your spouse, history, or friend is secretly watching the video or watching texting when you are telling them important news.

Glasses are more bold than Ben Metas. The frames are thick, the edges are more rounded, and the overall wifer shape is more square. I have been told that the nose bridge is designed to be a universal fit. As a lower bridge person, I praised him that it does not slip my face down. Also, the good news if you have a wide face: now the overpactation is in possession so that the temple arms can bend out slightly for a more comfortable fit. The battery life lasts for about six hours with “mixed use”, and you get 30 hours total with a falling case of falling. And at 69 grams, it is still relatively light.

Another new addition is Meta Neural Band. We have seen with the previous year’s Orion prototype, but its use was an eye -opening. The band uses something called Electromygraphy to read the signal from your muscles so that you can control the display with gestures. At first, there was a lot to do, but I got his execution very fast. And the best part? With a headset like Apple Vision Pro, you don’t need to hold your arm. You can only be carefully – behind your back, under a table, really somewhere – and all signs – and carefully.

Once the pinch with its index finger chooses an item in the menu, while the same action with the middle finger acts like a back button. Seeking a summons twice his middle finger and rejecting the display. You can also make a sideways fist to scroll through options and swipe your thumb left, right, up and down. While listening to the music while listening to your hand, it will increase or reduce the volume, In the zoom When you are pulling photos.

In addition to the display, the band of this wrist suddenly opens a range of hand -free capabilities. On Ray Ben Meta glasses, if you want to see how your photos or videos look like, you have to draw directly on your phone. With display glasses, you have a built -in preview window. Pictures of my smart glasses will no longer suffer from my unusual trend to bow down to my bungalows or my head. You can also take video calls directly on your iPhrus in WhatsApp. You will be able to see whatever call you are calling, And They too will be able to see your point of view. I tried a video call with Jay. Although his face was surprising to see floating in my vision, I could not help feel like a spy so that he would steal some corporate secrets at a high stake.

Messaging is another obvious plus. You can read, watch, watch, and respond to messages without extracting your phone. (Part of the rails is a bit disturbing IC my friend sends me tricks.) And later this year, Meta is planning to introduce a handwriting feature where you can detect letters at any level and respond to the loud order messages without anything. I had to try it, and he worked amazingly. There is also a prediction text, so you don’t need to “write” so much.

A direct title demo was impressive. When you are talking to someone, the screen may show text or translation for direct speech in your view. However, the wild thing is, thanks to multi -dimensional microphone array, glasses can tell WHO You are watching and only showing captions for this person. I got my demo while many people were talking together, and the cross talk was never a problem. When I saw when I saw, there was almost zero lettuce to catch the titles. The real ray was a game changer for people who lost methas, and I suspect these glasses will be the same for those who are hard to hear.

I am very excited in the direction of walking with the twist. Although my hometown of New York City is always a grid system, I always manage to turn. I hate watching my phone, trying to find out where I am going. With the help of display glasses, I could see the direction of the nearest jack in the box and then attract myself on the map as I would do on the phone. While I didn’t go to the Hamburger Joint, I was told that you could remove the screen and still when you need them all around you, you can still find the turn.

The direct AI features of the meta also promote. I used it to give myself a Money Self -Guide Museum Tour by taking a picture of Andy Warol Campbell’s soup painting. Meta AI offered a brief details, while the display showed information cards with more examples of the rest of the series. I also asked AI to show me the combination of tea late. He gave me step -by -step instructions, and then I hid the display and brought it back. The idea is that you can review the steps, get cooking, and only review the next steps when needed. It seems useful like someone with water -filled kickbux.

Many consumers have not had smart glasses, but I have tried everything from the original Google Glass and Enterprise Edition to North Focus. I have couple glasses, zerial glasses, and even facts G1 that I am currently examining. I have also found multiple demo of Google Latest Proty -type XR glasses. This is the first time I have ever felt like consumers can really take off the smart glasses. Not just because the execution of meta is excellent, but because I can see matters of use I Want in my daily life.

Nevertheless, after the mood of early surprise and enthusiasm, I remembered the recent column of my colleague, Luz Lupoto, how none of us really had anonymity. Certainly these glasses will only increase. I thought about Marta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent comments that people would be in “significant academic loss” without AI smart glasses. I emphasized how a border patrolling agent was seen wearing a ray bean metas dress during the immigration raid. Then I eliminated the big progress of the glasses in accessible tech, which enables people with disabilities to live more independently. Are we probably fleeing to open the Pandora box without thinking first, through which what can be broken in this process? This question will remain in my mind as long as I find a pair for myself.

Meta -ray display glasses are sold on September 30, 9 799, and you will be able to test them for yourself at Best Bye, Lens Craft, Ray Bean Stores and Verizon. They are only to start, but Meta will expand the sales of Canada, France, Italy and the United Kingdom in early 2026.
