Ray-Ban x Meta

Written by

Having written my dissertation on SWTs (smart wearable technology), I felt it necessary to test a model out; the Ray-Ban Meta. I only heard about it through word of mouth.

After choosing my preferred Ray-Ban style and ordering, the wrong prescription was sent. Exchanging took a month before the correct pair finally arrived. Overall awful customer service. But, for those who choose to in innovative product, some directions:

  • Try them on to check the fit and make sure they look fabulous.
  • Download the Meta AI app to link actions to your phone (I’m still learning it though ).
  • Put on the glasses and press the button above the right lens to take a photo—the LED blinks, and it saves to the Meta app
  • Holding down that button will record what’s seen.
  • Tap the touchpad on the side to play/pause, or swipe to adjust volume.
  • These glasses can control Amazon Music, Apple Music and Spotify.
  • Talk hands-free. Message on WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Facebook — all from your glasse. “I can’t filter by messaging app. Check your phone for new messages”
    …but when there’s a new alert, the glasses announce who it’s from, jussi not the content.
  • Customise voice and language settings to your preference…. I chose the Judy Dench option!

As I wear them, I’ll find out more actions and update….
