I have these glasses configured with my iPhone. Unfortunately, I rarely use them. Here's a short explanation why.
I'm not a person who wears glasses indoors. To me these are sunglasses to be worn out of doors for the usual expected benefits of sunglasses. If these would function out of doors, I'd be wearing them all the time, but for me they don't. They don't seem to want to work over 5G, so I get none of the AI benefit while I'm out and about. This is a major design flaw, imho. It should be rectified. Second, the Meta AI is overly cautious over anything identifiably personal. It does not want to tell you about people. It can even be difficult to get it to read name, email, and phone data off of a business card. This is excessive and poorly conceived privacy protection, imho. I certainly applaud Meta's concern for protecting privacy, but I don't appreciate the way they over do it with these glasses. So, those are the major downsides from my experience. I could continue with the very good, and a few more not so good aspects from my experience, but I'll stop here for now.
