Brian (00:00):
All right, well, welcome back to the Mindful Bytes
podcast.
It's been a while since we'vebeen here, but today we're going
to talk about
Ashton (00:07):
clearing up the image of meta AI with a new pair of
glasses.
Brian (00:11):
Hey, I got a pair of those too.
See, let's go ahead and diveinto today's episode.
All right, everybody, this isBrian, the Gen X business leader
.
Ashton (00:23):
I'm Ashton, your Gen Z gadget geek.
Shawna (00:26):
Oh nice.
Ashton (00:27):
Gadget geek.
Shawna (00:28):
I like that one,
Brian (00:30):
geek it out.
Shawna (00:30):
.
Olivia (00:31):
I'm Olivia, your social media savvy millennial.
Brian (00:34):
You see what happens when we take such a long break.
Olivia (00:36):
I know I literally was like I don't remember anything.
What's a podcast?
Shawna (00:41):
That's what I was thinking too.
I was like what am I?
I don't know that kind of fitsinto my introduction, I'm Shawna
, your Xennial digital dinosaur.
Brian (00:52):
Well, and I just got to say we haven't been around for a
while, because we've got a lotgoing on.
We've had hurricanes, we've hadprojects, so yeah, so we're back
.
I think probably some peoplewere even on vacation, I don't
remember it's been a lot.
But hey, we are back and readyto wrap up the year with the
Mindful Bytes.
Just a reminder if you want tojump around to different topics,
you can use the chapter markers.
(01:13):
On the episode Ashton, whydon't you go ahead and get us
started?
Tell us about these Meta RayBands.
Ashton (01:20):
These things are awesome .
I've really enjoyed using theseso far.
Me and Brian have a pair.
He has the limited editionclear ones and I have the large
Wayfarers and I mean thesethings are just, they're
something else.
Ever since I've switched toAndroid, I've been complaining
(01:44):
about Google not being as goodas Siri, but in my opinion, meta
is actually the best artificialintelligence.
Over Siri and Google and Geminiand all of them, I've liked
Meta the best, which is a reallyhigh standard.
Brian (02:04):
Why is Meta the best to you?
You?
Ashton (02:06):
I think it's honestly just because of the cameras
because, like it talks reallynaturally, just like siri does
it, it has relevant information.
It hasn't failed me withirrelevant information yet, but
I think it's because it can seewhat you're seeing.
It has these little camerashere.
You'll see, it has some littlecameras.
It's actually talking right nowbut, uh, you'll see, it has
(02:29):
little cameras and it just itsees the world around you and it
gets information from it andit's really, really good at it I
don't think it's interesting.
Brian (02:39):
Ashton, like with, like you just said, like it's talking
right now, that is veryinteresting because I know it's
something you're probably goingto cover.
But like I love the sound, howyou can hear, but other people
around you can't hear it.
Really, but it is kind of weirdbecause it's like you have
voices in your head just say,walking down the sidewalk, I'm
listening to a podcast, or itstarts talking to me and Shawna
(03:01):
talking.
It's like I'm sorry, hold on asecond, my glasses are talking
to me and Sean was talking.
It's like I'm sorry, hold on asecond, my glasses are talking
to me.
I got to figure out how to turnthat off.
Shawna (03:08):
At least people are already used to hearing people
talking to themselves because ofheadsets and everything.
Like you see people walkingaround talking to themselves all
the time.
It's no big deal anymore.
Ashton (03:18):
That's true.
The only thing.
The only thing with these are,so I have to keep the volume low
because of that.
But with AirPods you can tellthat they're listening to
something.
When it comes to these, youcan't tell, so that I have
noticed.
I've seen one other person inreal life wear these and it took
(03:40):
me like I like stepped back fora moment because I was like, oh
, that is so weird, like I justwasn't expecting that.
You're used to seeing someoneholding their phone, talking on
speaker phone, or you're used tosomeone wearing airpods or
having their phone next to them,but it's just, it's not there
and it's.
It's really freaky actuallyokay.
Brian (04:00):
So these okay.
So I want to give a quick recap, as you're, you know, getting
ready to dive into the glassesthemselves.
I know at MetaConnect theyshowed a lot of the new features
, things that you can use theseglasses for, like streaming live
to Instagram, to Facebook.
They have Meta AI that can seethings.
Like you said, the glasses cansee what you're looking at.
(04:21):
It's got the audio where youcan hear I don't remember what
they call it it's like a spatialaudio, which is a really cool
feature.
Also, the translation stuff,like all this meta AI stuff.
There's a lot packed in theseglasses with the meta AI and I
think that's why you're touchingon saying, like you love this
meta AI, you think this is verypowerful.
So those are just some of thequick insights of what I know
(04:42):
that the glasses can do.
So go ahead, explain more.
Can you go a little bit deeperon the glasses, of what you've
experienced?
What you have experienced onthe glasses so far?
Ashton (04:54):
So some of the things I've found really interesting
with these.
The commercials do a lot ofidentification related things,
including, actually, I think, inthe conference they also did it
.
So I've experimented with IDingplants and it has been pretty
accurate.
There's some hard ones thatit's missed, but for the most
part it's done really well.
(05:15):
I have done building IDs.
So when you're just walkingthrough a city you look up at
something and you're like whatis this building?
And it can find your location.
Actually in Ohio we went tothis place called Deeds Carillon
and it did that perfectly.
It looked right up at thebuilding and knew exactly where
we were.
(05:36):
I've done car IDs.
So I've seen cars on the roadand I'm like hey, what is this
car?
And it's got that really well.
I learned that it does twodifferent ways of doing that.
It will either read the badgesor, if it can't read the badges,
it tries to identify the bodyshape.
So it's pretty good because ittries to combine both.
It can usually get the yearlike it, down to the model year,
(05:58):
which is really impressive.
Brian (05:59):
It's actually.
You can read.
The text is what you're sayingon the car.
Interesting.
Ashton (06:04):
It's really impressive.
Another one that has done verywell is animal ID.
I have been out fishing and ithas been able to ID birds like
herons that are walking by.
It's been able to ID fish thatI've caught.
To be fair, I've only caught alargemouth bass, but it did get
it, so that's impressive.
Brian (06:29):
Can you teach it?
Can you say, like if you catcha bluegill you can say no, uh,
this is a largemouth bass.
Like, can you correct it?
Like teach it I don't believeso.
I don't believe so you knowwhen you were little, like we
would like, there was planesthat would fly by and be like
look a dog, and your mom saiddon't do that to him, he's going
to grow up thinking that that'sa dog and it's a plane.
So I didn't know if we could dothat to the Meta AI glasses.
Ashton (06:51):
I don't believe so.
I don't believe so.
Shawna (06:55):
Teach it.
Ashton (06:56):
Something that Meta shows a lot of, though,
something that they think issuper impressive, which I agree,
is their problem solvingabilities.
They can be presented with aproblem and they will try and
solve it.
One that they advertise is it'sa person holding a plant, like
in a pot, and they're like meta.
(07:17):
What's wrong with this plant?
Is this plant healthy?
And it can give theminformation on.
Oh, it has yellow, hasyellowing leaves, it may need
water or it may need sunlight.
That's something I wanted toask you guys.
What are some otherproblem-solving tasks it could
do?
What do you think?
Brian (07:37):
I got a dead plant back there.
I should ask it what it needs.
It's in really bad shape.
Ashton (07:42):
It'll probably tell you it's just dead.
Brian (07:44):
I'll blame it on the hurricane, but I don't think
that was the problem.
Shawna (07:48):
You're supposed to be yeah, you're supposed to be
blocking that with your head.
Ashton (07:52):
Like don't let me see the dead plant.
Shawna (07:55):
That's 100% my responsibility.
Brian (07:57):
You want me to hold it up in front of me and ask it
what's?
Shawna (08:01):
wrong with the plant?
No, no, no, thank you.
What's wrong with the plan?
No, no, no, thank you.
Uh, ashton, I think umsomething that I heard that you
did the other day that I thinkis a really interesting idea is
to show ingredients and ask whatyou can make out of it, you
know, for recipe ideas.
Or you know, everybody hasthose days where you're like, oh
(08:22):
, I don't know what to cook, butyou have these few things.
I love that idea and it'shands-free, so it's not like you
have to go get out your phoneor your laptop and start
searching and scroll through it.
You can do it while you'redoing other things, which I
think is cool.
Ashton (08:38):
That is very impressive, because I was doing that in a
store when I told her about that, I was caretaking for someone's
house.
No, that's not the word.
What's it called Homesitting,is that?
Olivia (08:49):
what it's called yeah homesitting, yeah, homesitting.
Ashton (08:52):
I was house sitting for some friends and when I went out
to get groceries I picked upsome potatoes because I was just
going to make some bakedpotatoes and I got normal
ingredients.
I got cheese and sour cream andall that and I was like you
know what?
I'm going to ask it what itthinks I should add.
And one of the things that cameup with was parsley and I was
like that is such a good idea.
(09:13):
I didn't even think about that,but it's just one of the things
that they've been workingreally hard on.
Brian (09:21):
So you could look inside your refrigerator and say, do
you have any recipes that I canuse?
What recipes can I use of theseingredients?
Is that what you do?
Is that kind of how theapproach is?
Ashton (09:33):
You can do that and then , alongside that, it will tell
you at what temperatures somethings need to be cooked, at
some things it knows how long.
It's very helpful.
Brian (09:44):
Olivia, what about you?
You got any ideas on thisinteresting?
Olivia (09:48):
um a couple things.
Number one I was wondering doesit have like um I get like gps
on it, like if you're driving?
Ashton (09:57):
and you're wearing the glasses I've been trying to mess
with that.
I haven't been able to get itto.
It does have GPS on its photos.
When you take a photo with it,it can tell you where you took
the photo.
Now I don't know if it's addingthat in the app, because
there's a companion app toimport the photos.
So I don't know if it's thecompanion app adding that or if
(10:20):
it's the glasses, because whenyou try to set up a GPS to it,
it just turns these intoBluetooth speakers.
The phone is still your GPS andthese are just the speakers
Gotcha gotcha.
And I've asked them fordirections and it won't give
them to me.
It'll just open Waze.
Yeah, I think you're rightthere.
Brian (10:42):
I've actually tested that online where, trying to ask it
to show me my location, it saysit cannot give geo, like it
can't do geolocations right nowor geotargeting, but it must,
(11:04):
like you said it, probably.
I get out at the airport and Ilook at my parking number or if
I look at a road sign I can sayremember where I parked my car.
And I can look at those signsand it will tell me you're at
your part at this street, atthis corner or at this number,
so you can't ask it to remindyou of those things, which is
great number so you can't ask itto remind you those things,
(11:28):
which is great, yeah, no, I lovethat.
Shawna (11:28):
So I have a question.
Yeah, that's really helpful.
Can you like wear the glasses,like take off down the street or
whatever, without having yourphone with you, will it?
Ashton (11:37):
it will do certain things or is it it's?
Limited without the phone.
Okay, that is one of itsdownsides, is it?
It is yeah.
Brian (11:45):
I don't think you have to have the phone.
What do you mean limited?
How is it?
Ashton (11:50):
limited without the phone.
It's limited in most of its AIfeatures because it does not
have cell service.
It's fully Bluetooth enabled.
So if you go far away from yourphone, one of the examples I
have is when I was fishing, Ileft my phone near my tackle box
and I walked to the other sideof the lake and when it
(12:12):
disconnected, it'll still takephotos, It'll still take videos,
but it won't the AI won'tcommunicate with you.
It won't play music, whichmakes sense because that's
through the phone.
So all of that is phone enabled.
Brian (12:26):
So that's usually about like 30 or 50 feet, I think.
With the Bluetooth you have tobe within that range.
That's interesting to know.
I didn't think I know aboutthat.
Shawna (12:34):
Yeah, that is one of its downsides okay, I'm sure that
at some point they'll have onesthat will have, like their own,
probably wi-fi connector, acellular.
Ashton (12:48):
That's right, yeah, word , it is very similar to what the
apple, so that you could verysimilar to what the apple
watches do is probably what theywill do because the first gen I
think maybe second gen appleWatch didn't have cell service
and then, shortly after thatdevelopment cycle, they added it
.
So I'm sure that's what willhappen to these, because these
(13:08):
have been out what like a year,maybe not even.
Brian (13:14):
Yeah, well, the Ray-Bans, like the new ones, that has the
Meta AI, has been out for overa year Because they just did the
.
I think they announced the notthis last meta connect, but the
connect before.
But the ray bands have been outfor longer than that.
Ashton (13:27):
They just didn't have the meta ai, so the meta yeah,
so uh, yeah, I think we'retalking about the meta ray band,
the meta ray bands yeah, um,but uh.
Brian (13:37):
so, on a kind of like a funny side, I would love it if I
could use use it as a use caseto saying, hey, when I look at
somebody said, remember thattheir name is Shawna, so then
next time I see them, it's likethis is Shawna.
Olivia (13:51):
Yeah, that would be so beneficial.
I have not tested that thatwould be awesome.
Ashton (13:57):
It would be very interesting if it did, though.
Brian (14:00):
The other thing is like I do have a serious idea, but
have you tested it?
Ashton (14:07):
That first one was serious.
You said it's a joke, but Ithink that'd be useful.
Brian (14:10):
Have you tested it?
Asking what kind of animal ourdog is?
Because we can never determineexactly 100% what breed she is.
Ashton (14:18):
So it does do that.
I don't know how accurate it is.
I don't have too much of a wayto test it.
The dogs it has tried it hasbeen close.
If they are mixed it canusually find the dominant gene
and nothing else.
So for example for our dog, uh,we were told that she's
(14:40):
purebred yorkie.
She might be, she may also havea little bit of dotson in her.
These glasses just say she'syorkie or there's a golden
retriever, that I know, andthat's all.
it's mixed, but it only knewgolden retriever, so it can find
that primary thing, but itdoesn't know any of the smaller
(15:01):
ones, which makes sense, gotcha.
That makes sense.
Olivia (15:04):
Yes, what it looks the most like that makes sense.
Brian (15:06):
Well, one of my ideas and Olivia, you probably would love
this idea too or even Shawnalike doing social media and
stuff like that.
I tested it out with Instagram.
I have not tested out Facebook,but I love that you can do live
stream videos with it, andwhat's cool about it is you can
switch between cameras.
(15:26):
Once you're live, I can be onthe phone and the people on the
phone looking at me, like youare right now like on a Zoom
call and having thatconversation, Be like here,
check this out and I can justtap my glasses and it takes the
camera and switches it to myglasses for a first person view.
So, like, imagine, like atevents, at concerts if you're
speaking on a stage, it's likepeople can see what you're
(15:49):
looking at.
Even at the Meta Connect, whenthey brought out the Orion
glasses, the person that wascarrying the big metal case to
Zuckerberg actually had a pairof these on and he he actually
did a live video showing himactually walking out carrying
him up and I'm opening it so itwas super cool.
Yeah, it was a really cool feel.
So I want to kind of put thisout there and ask you guys how
(16:11):
do you guys see?
Because, like, one of thethings I've been looking at is
like, if, if I do things onsocial media, how could I
incorporate these and do atotally different approach?
But do it like a first personview, like what are your
thoughts about that?
Cause that can really changeyour whole content creation
process.
Is that a wrong question to ask?
Shawna (16:31):
My camera's frozen.
I'm just kidding.
I don't think it's a wrongquestion, I just think that, uh,
that it's going to take somethought, like I can definitely
see some content ideas comingout of that.
I love the idea.
I like seeing videos like thatthat are point of view.
Is that the right way to say it, like a first person view?
Yeah, yeah, I could see it.
(16:53):
I could see some things comingout of that.
I just can't think of anyspecific.
Ashton (16:57):
Yeah, what I've personally used it, for I've
been wanting to make reels for along time just to mess around,
and so when I've been out takingphotos, I've been using these
and I've really liked the videosso far.
They're really smooth, theimage stabilization is really
good, but before there wasn'tthat many point of view options.
(17:18):
I mean you can do a GoProstrapped up high.
There are cameras you can getthat clip onto your hat bill,
but not exactly like a pair ofglasses, and so it does record
out of your left camera, so itis barely off center when you
move your head, but you reallydon't notice.
(17:38):
I have a reel up on myInstagram account that if you
want to see a good example,that's a great place to go to go
see one.
Brian (17:48):
Well, actually, Ashton, you should give us the link.
We'll put it in the show notesas well, so people can check it
out, because that actually is areally good point.
That was a really cool reel thatyou did because it showed you
actually being out at thelocations and walking around,
because it showed you actuallybeing out at the locations and
walking around and all of asudden you lifted up your camera
and you went and it went to thefree shot of the actual camera
from the, the photo from thecamera, which is a really cool
(18:09):
feel.
So I think, the creativity ofhow you can approach content
wearing these glasses.
I was actually talking tosomeone recently that said that
they have been for the last yearrecording a personal journal
for their kids and to remember,like their I guess, their mom's
entire life, like how she's, thedifferent things she's doing
(18:30):
throughout the day, so it's likea live journal that they can go
back and replay from her pointof view.
Oh, I love that idea yeah,that's so cool.
Olivia (18:40):
Yeah, I was just gonna yeah To your question.
I do think that you know,people like Ashton talked about
already, kind of do that kind ofreel where it's like from a
first person perspective.
But I do think that theseglasses will make it so much
easier because there is, youknow, like you have to have
(19:05):
certain cameras, like I knowthey sell some now that you wear
around your neck and likethere's a lot of setup and
things that go into getting thatpoint of view.
So I think this is definitelygoing to save people a lot of
time, that's for sure I was.
Ashton (19:24):
I was just going to mention that is the ease of use.
They're just.
You just put them on, theyconnect.
You don't have to do anythingelse.
You just hit the button, that'sit.
Shawna (19:32):
They're recording and also, you can actually even like
go ahead, go ahead, Shawna Iwas gonna say also wouldn't you
just feel like you soconspicuous, like you stand out
like a sore thumb if you've gota camera on your hat or on your
neck, Like you know it wouldfeel uncomfortable and with the
glasses it's just like oh, youdon't have glasses.
Brian (19:53):
The thing about the glasses too.
I remember doing this at.
We went to a car show and I wasjust taking photos just with
the glasses and they.
We went to a car show and I wasjust taking photos just with
the glasses and and they cameout amazing.
It was, you know, getting usedto, like you said, ashton, the
cameras on the left lens.
There's a right one.
So, like right now, I don't haveto even tap it.
I can just say hey, meta,record a video.
(20:16):
And I don't know if you guyscan see that right now it's
recording.
But do you see that light thatjust lit up on my right side of
my glasses?
That lets everybody know thatI'm recording?
Hey, meta, stop the recording.
So it makes beeps and stuff andgives me a light on the inside.
So I know it's doing stuff, butI don't have to even touch the
glasses.
I can just ask it to hey, meta,take a photo.
And there it goes.
(20:38):
It flashes a white light.
So people that might belistening and thinking about
what privacy concerns, uh, thereis a bright light that shines.
And they did, I believe.
Ashton correct me if I'm wrong.
I think they made it where ifyou try to cover that light up.
Ashton (20:50):
It will not work but what's really nice is it knows
the difference and if you'retrying or not trying to cover it
and it can tell.
So, like if my hat bill is toolow, it says, hey, your hat is
in your camera's way, but we'restill recording which is really
(21:12):
nice.
And then if it realizes the ledis covered which I have no clue
how it detects that, but it can, uh, if it realizes that, then
it tells you hey, your LED iscovered, we are not recording.
Brian (21:25):
So tell us about the translation stuff, because I
know there's a lot there.
That's something that I feellike is so useful to a lot of
people in everyday life.
Have you tested that?
Explain to us how they explainthat should work so I've tested
it.
Ashton (21:44):
It works really well, from what I can tell.
Uh, the main way I've tested itis by reading signs.
I've done this at a fewdifferent locations, including
an airport.
It works really well.
It just reads the sign and andjust translate it for you.
Brian (22:01):
Uh, so it's really good reading a sign like in a
different language that aredifferent language.
You can look at it and ask sowhat do you do?
Do you ask it like, let's say,we're reading, it's a spanish
sign, or maybe it's a signwritten in france, a french so?
It's written in france and it'sactually written in.
It's actually in german, butthey wrote in france, so
normally what you do.
Ashton (22:22):
They did just release an update, so I don't know if you
have to specify the language nowI don't think you do how?
Like the exact command you giveit is hey, meta, can you
translate this sign for me,making sure mine didn't turn on
no, so you don't know, you don'thave to do, you have to say
translated to english, or itjust automatically knows what
language it knows your primarylanguage.
(22:43):
You set that in the app whenyou set it up.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Shawna (22:48):
Very cool.
Ashton (22:49):
And so you tried that and it worked well.
Yeah, it worked great, fromwhat I could tell.
I don't know Spanish so I don'texactly know what the sign said
, but it used proper grammar.
There was an English and aSpanish sign right next to each
other I believe it was abathroom sign and when I read it
it just read the exact samething that was on the English
one, so I'm assuming that thatis what that sign said they were
(23:10):
right next to each other.
So I think that was it.
I made sure that it couldn'tsee the other sign too, just to
make sure it wasn't cheating,did you?
Brian (23:20):
like peek your head and say excuse me, is this the men's
?
Olivia (23:22):
bathroom.
Brian (23:22):
Just want to make sure before I come in.
Olivia (23:24):
No, no, I don't think traveling abroad really is a lot
easier, for sure.
Ashton (23:35):
It would, and something else that they're working on,
which was also in the commercial, is having two pairs between
two people and you being able totalk to each other and it
translating.
Shawna (23:47):
That would be amazing.
Ashton (23:50):
Which is really nice.
Something that I haven't testedyet is if they can do audio
translation.
If you can hear something andit translate it for you, I
wouldn't be surprised if theycan do it.
If it's not available yet, itis available soon, because they
did market that also in the metaconnect.
Um, oh, that's what my nextthing.
(24:14):
Was there anything else youguys wanted to say?
Olivia (24:16):
I have a question.
So I wear contacts and I have apretty heavy prescription.
So even if I were to get randomreading glasses at CVS or
something that makes my visionlook blurry, so what is the
prescription, or can you getthem to your prescription, or
(24:39):
what's that like with wearingthese glasses?
Ashton (24:43):
So I know you can get prescription for them.
I haven't yet I haven't messedwith that.
I'm planning on doing iteventually.
I just haven't set aside themoney to do that yet.
But, Shawna, what would you say, because I know you just wore
them?
Was it really blurry when youwore them with your contacts
before you got on here?
Shawna (25:05):
No, so it's just a plain glass, as far as I can tell.
So I wear contacts as well.
So when I was using them it wascompletely clear, just like
normal.
Yeah, I think that's.
The only downfall is if someoneonly wears glasses and has a
prescription, but doesn't wantto pay the money to have a
prescription put in their metaglasses, then that that's hard
(25:27):
to use, right, ashton?
Because you've tried using them, you know, without your glasses
, and then, of course, you can'talways see everything great.
So I think if you have contacts, not a problem.
If you have perfect vision, nota problem.
Or if you get your prescriptionin them, not a problem.
But otherwise, you know, if youhave glasses, I think, then
you're going to have some issues.
Brian (25:48):
Yeah, yeah, I know mine.
I don't have prescriptions inmine and my glasses Like if I
put these on I can see a lotbetter than with the Ray-Bans.
But so I would definitelysuggest if you wear glasses I
would get the go ahead and payand have the prescription lenses
put in it.
I know that they have a companythat does that when you order
(26:09):
them for meta.
Ashton (26:13):
So that would be the way I would definitely go if you
need those so kind of off.
The same thing as translating.
These are really good atreading and actually I just had
Shawna test this with me too.
When you take these and you putthem on and everything, you can
actually ask it to read a pageand it will take a photo of a
page of your book and read themto you and it actually sounds
really nice.
Or you can even ask it tosummarize for you.
(26:37):
So I took my book and I openedto the preface and I had it
summarize the preface for me andit did really well, like it
took all these.
It took all these words andturned it to like maybe two
sentences worth of summary.
It was really, reallyimpressive.
Brian (26:59):
Interesting, so it takes, you just ask it.
You just look at something andwhat do you say?
Ashton (27:05):
The exact command is hey , Meta, can you read this to me?
You can say can you read thispage to me?
You can also say hey, Meta,please summarize this for me, oh
, okay.
Brian (27:18):
Nice.
Shawna (27:21):
I found this interesting when Ashton showed me what you
know how to do it and what itfelt like, what it you know
sounded like, I found it veryinteresting that it said, just
to give you a heads up, this isstarting with the preface.
Because that's just aninteresting detail to me,
because, of course, if you thinkyou're starting a book, preface
(27:43):
oftentimes is very different,or sometimes even just an
introduction, and so I thoughtthat was interesting.
It's like, hey, don't thinkthis is like the beginning of
the book.
Brian (27:53):
If you're using these glasses to give you a summary of
the book for your class, thisis a preface.
You probably want to go alittle bit deeper than that.
Shawna (28:01):
Yeah, exactly.
Olivia (28:04):
Yeah.
Brian (28:05):
Where does this information go?
Like in chat, gbt, you know ithas like a text history.
So if you're asking thesethings and you're asking it to,
if you're asking questions andstuff, where does it go?
Can you?
Can you access that outside?
Ashton (28:20):
the actual glasses.
Where does it go?
Can you?
Can you access that outside theactual glasses?
Yes, you can access it also inthe companion app.
There's a history log in thecompanion app and it also saves
a photo.
I think it saves the photo forlike a month.
Oh, okay so if you say, readthis and you go back and look in
the history, it's going to havethat photo there so you can
actually double check what itsaid and everything.
Brian (28:41):
And you said it's like would you call it a companion
log?
Is that you?
It's going to have that photothere so you can actually double
check what it said andeverything?
And you said it's like wouldyou call it a companion log?
Is that what you said?
It's a companion app, okay.
Is that accessible on a desktopor only on the meta app on the
phone?
I don't know.
Ashton (28:52):
I don't know if it's accessible on desktop, I've only
used it through a phone.
I know it works on Apple, Iknow it works on Android, I
don't know on Mac, linux andWindows, so that would
definitely be something to checkout.
Brian (29:05):
I would definitely like to know that, because if I could
access the history on thecomputer, that would be probably
easier than using the Meta app.
So cool, now does it require adifferent app?
We're not talking about theFacebook app, right?
Ashton (29:17):
We're talking about yeah , it's a different app.
That's why, yeah, it's adifferent app.
That's why, yeah, it's acompanion app.
It's called MetaView.
It's its own app.
It doesn't use Facebook orInstagram.
Brian (29:28):
Okay, and how about storage space?
Like?
Is it?
Does it record in the cloud?
Is it, though?
Is it actually the device?
Ashton (29:36):
space.
It stays on the glasses untilit syncs to the app where you
can choose to delete it whereyou want to.
Uh, you can have it specifiedwhen you go to delete something.
Delete only from meta view,delete from glasses, delete from
phone.
Okay, all right, those are yourthree options.
It will record by itself.
Like I was kind of telling youwhen I was fishing, I can walk
(29:59):
to the other side of the lake.
It'll still take photos andrecord.
It just doesn't immediatelysync.
Can't play music, can't useMeta AI, okay so, now that you
said that, here's a concern.
Brian (30:09):
Should people be taking these things off when they go in
bathrooms and stuff like that,or what?
Ashton (30:13):
so it is meta.
It meta is known for datacollection.
I don't know how much it isleaving the companion app.
I personally don't wear them inthe bathroom, uh, so take that
as you will.
I'm not.
Meta is pretty protective overstuff.
(30:33):
It's pretty hard to find thatinformation.
So I'll leave that part at thatinteresting.
Brian (30:45):
I just thought that would be a good concern there.
Ashton (30:49):
Yeah, I, um, it is meta so I don't trust them in that
sense.
But it's also meta, which meansthey have really good uh, a
really good user interface.
They're good at that with theirsocial media apps.
They're good at their sounddesign, so kind of how you were
talking about before, brian,about it beeping.
It's not an annoying beep, it'snot like an oven beep.
(31:09):
That's like just alwaysannoying you.
It's actually a really nicebeep.
It's never bothered me, it'sactually been very informative
when it you know if you're nottalking to them and they think
you're talking to them they do alittle beep before they start
talking, and so it doesn'treally catch you off guard.
It's just kind of I don't know.
It's kind of just there.
It lets you know thatsomething's happening.
Brian (31:35):
Well, I definitely know it's kind of just there.
It lets you know thatsomething's happening.
Well, I definitely know I'veenjoyed them on my reflection
time because I didn't think Iwould enjoy listening to music
on as much as I do.
But I really love them becauseit's so different to be able to
walk around and still hear thenature around you and hear music
silently or a podcast, and nothave things stuck in my ears.
So I've been really amazed withI didn't think I would like
(31:55):
that would be that important,but it really helps me be
present even while wearing theglasses.
So I love this spatial audioand I think it's a great, great
thing and I love.
How like you got you know youcan control everything by
touching and swiping.
Just type touching the glassesto turn up the volume, turn it
down.
Ashton (32:14):
It's just amazing.
What's that?
The gestures are amazing.
Brian (32:18):
Yeah, they're great, and that's why I mean it's.
You could also just ask it todo it, but it's very nice.
You can just lightly swipe onthe glasses.
Shawna (32:27):
Does it have the ability ?
You know, like Brian you talkedabout the plod was called plod
or plod note, uh in the pastabout how it will record and
then in the app it transcribesfor you.
Does it have an option likethat, like if you're listening
to a speech or something, thatyou could record it and then
yeah, I was just curious I cancheck real quick, I can check.
Ashton (32:49):
I know that it does do the transcripts for what it sees
on its image.
I don't know if it does audiobecause its mics are really good
.
It points specifically at youbecause I've walked around on
the phone before and peoplecan't hear outside of the
glasses, which I've been reallyimpressed by because actually
(33:12):
when I flew to ohio recently Icalled you guys and it it.
You guys can't even tell it wasjust so.
Here's the.
Here's the downside.
Brian (33:21):
I don't think it will work.
And here's the here's thereason why.
Uh, I love what you're talkingabout with the mic action,
because even when I had them onwhenever you said meta, like it
didn't recognize you saying that, so it wasn't going off on my
face, so it must be adirectional mic when you're
speaking.
If I, if I record a video,what's really cool about it is
actually uses it uses spatialaudio, so like if you're on my
(33:44):
left side and then someone elseis on the right when it records,
it's using that.
So if you play it back, thatperson is going to be on the
left speaker, the right speaker.
So that's really cool.
But here's the here's.
The reason why I say itprobably doesn't do that is
there's only a three minute timelimit on recording anything I
was just gonna mention.
So where, like the plot, I canhit record, like and I got this
(34:06):
new one now, so I'll have tocover that next time but I can
hit record, I can record as longas I want and it's taking all
the notes and then and thentakes it into ai and does all
the summaries and stuff likethat.
So I don't think that it can dothat.
To that ability plus thebattery life on those on these
glasses aren't like top of theline, I think what they say like
.
I think if you turn off themeta ai it's about four to six
(34:30):
hours, but with it it on it'slike two hours.
Ashton (34:33):
I was actually just working on getting around to
that, so I'm actually reallyimpressed because they advertise
very low numbers.
I've gotten very high numbersout of mine the entire time I
used them for the reel that Ipublished.
I was recording.
I think I got like I think Iwas recording about an hour that
(34:56):
day and anytime I wasn'trecording I probably was
actually closer to two hours,but anytime I wasn't recording I
was playing music and they wentthe whole day without ever
being put in their case.
So that was roughly six hours ofmusic, two hours of recording,
and I filled up at storage twicerecording where I had to go to
(35:17):
the meta app.
I had to remove all fromglasses, make sure all was saved
to my phone and then just keptrecording.
So I don't know if this is theWayfair large.
It may have a larger battery,so that is possible.
The limited editions do notcome in large, so it may have a
smaller battery, but I don'tknow why they would do that.
(35:42):
Well, because they wereconnected to my phone the entire
time.
In fact, actually my phonealmost died multiple times
during that trip because theRay-Bans were outliving the
phone, so I'm not sure.
That's kind of a gray area.
Brian (35:58):
I do like that.
You can put the phones youcharge the case.
So once you charge the case youcan put the glasses back in
here and it'll charge them backup, so that is a nice feature of
the case.
Olivia (36:09):
So what is the price point on these bad boys?
Ashton (36:15):
so they can go anywhere.
So these are 300, I believe.
If you get the special lensesput in them, the they have a
transition.
If you get transition you haveactually.
Brian (36:28):
Yeah, the ones that you have are actually.
Those are actually let mecorrect you those are like
around 400 and something.
So cause.
Ashton (36:34):
Those have transitional lenses.
That's what I'm, that's whatI'm trying to get to.
They're $300.
With transitional lenses itadds $70 to that price, and then
the limited editions are, orwere, slightly more, and then I
don't know how much it costs toput prescriptions in.
I don't know if that is covered.
I'm assuming it's not.
(36:54):
It's probably not and from whatI understand, you can get
transitionals and prescriptions,because that's what I'm going
to be doing.
Shawna (37:02):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Ashton (37:04):
So they're moderately priced.
They're a little expensive,especially compared to some
other AI things, but they'realso very good and they're
glasses.
So once you take into accountthat their glasses, people pay
more than that just for a pairof sunglasses.
So it's kind of on thein-between.
So I think they're.
I think they're like betweenthree 500.
Olivia (37:24):
Yeah, that's actually not as much as I thought you
were going to say.
I honestly was thinking closerto like 800 plus actually.
Ashton (37:35):
Really Wow they.
I mean they feel like theycould be yeah.
Olivia (37:39):
So and I wonder if you know how, like oh sorry, oh no,
go ahead.
I was just going to say Iwonder if, as they continue to
improve, if they'll have like aversion that is more affordable
for people, just so more peoplecan have access to them, that
you know how iPhones havedifferent levels, maybe they'll
(38:00):
have different levels of glassesas well.
Ashton (38:05):
I could see that yeah, I could see lower quality cameras
and you know a few things likethat.
I could definitely see that.
Uh, just a few more things Ijust wanted to cover real quick.
Uh, they are kind of like whatI was telling you guys.
They're really good with theircameras.
Uh, I've used them to id a fewdifferent items and to give me
history on a few different items.
(38:26):
So I had it check out mypolaroid camera.
It could tell me the exactmodel, the year, what kind of
film it took.
I had it help me with somebrainstorming questions.
I'm designing a little lure, soI have it drawn in my notebook
and I had it help me paint it.
So it came up with like youshould put pink on it because
the bass like the color pink.
(38:47):
They strike that because theybelieve it's injured, and to put
little green stripes going downit on a base coat of green and
it I mean it's done a lot.
Even like the little board inthe back.
I had it describe everythingthat was on the board.
So, like it went through andsaid this note says this this
(39:07):
handwritten note says thisthere's jewelry hanging off of
it.
There are fedoras next to it.
Uh, there appears to be likepasses, like concert passes
hanging off of it, all kinds ofthings, like it's done really,
really well, even going down tolike, hey, is this room
considered clean?
Would you call this hotel roomclean?
(39:28):
Uh, and it would tell me thatwhen I, when I asked it about
this room, it was like this roomis clean, but there are books
on the ground because there'sbooks sitting in the corner.
It was like so I would get ashelf for that and I was like,
yeah, I'm not doing that, I likemy passion, I think that what I
, what my takeaway on this is.
Brian (39:47):
I think that really what sets these things apart and why
the like why you're saying themeta ai is like one of the top
ones that you've like you feelright now is because it's a,
it's the ai version thatactually sees what you're seeing
.
It's it's not like like chat,gbt, like they have video
formats on here now where youcan actually ask it and it's
(40:08):
looking at you and stuff likethat.
But I guess you could.
You might be able to reverseyour phone I haven't tested that
, but being able to naturallyhave the glasses on and not have
to pull out your phone and askall that and you can just talk
to your glasses and it responds,I think that's an amazing use
case for AI in a wearable.
I think that's the thing.
This is one of the firstwearables out there for AI, so I
(40:34):
would love to hear otherpeople's thoughts on the podcast
.
If you're listening, let usknow.
Click the text us message onthe show notes.
Let us know some of thethoughts that you have, maybe
some ideas or questions you haveabout these meta AI Ray-Bans
like, maybe some use cases thatyou might have or some concerns
we would love to hear from youas well.
Ashton, do you have anythingelse you want to wrap up with?
Ashton (40:54):
I mean, they're just great glasses and I've really
enjoyed using them and, as faras I know, they're the only
smart wearable including AIwearable that looks like normal
glasses, like if you saw these.
They don't look like they're,you know, big, clunky, like,
(41:16):
basically like a VR headset.
They're just really nicelooking.
So, even if you weren't goingto use the features as much, it
might be worth just getting apair of the sunglasses because
they are Ray-Ban.
The sunglasses are amazing.
Brian (41:27):
So just imagine when Orion comes out.
That's going to be a whole gamechanger.
Augmented reality in glasseslike that it's going to be
incredible.
Well, with that, if you enjoyedtoday's episode, be sure to

All right, well, welcome back to the Mindful Bytes
podcast.
It's been a while since we'vebeen here, but today we're going
to talk about
Ashton (00:07):
clearing up the image of meta AI with a new pair of
glasses.
Brian (00:11):
Hey, I got a pair of those too.
See, let's go ahead and diveinto today's episode.
All right, everybody, this isBrian, the Gen X business leader
.
Ashton (00:23):
I'm Ashton, your Gen Z gadget geek.
Shawna (00:26):
Oh nice.
Ashton (00:27):
Gadget geek.
Shawna (00:28):
I like that one,
Brian (00:30):
geek it out.
Shawna (00:30):
.
Olivia (00:31):
I'm Olivia, your social media savvy millennial.
Brian (00:34):
You see what happens when we take such a long break.
Olivia (00:36):
I know I literally was like I don't remember anything.
What's a podcast?
Shawna (00:41):
That's what I was thinking too.
I was like what am I?
I don't know that kind of fitsinto my introduction, I'm Shawna
, your Xennial digital dinosaur.
Brian (00:52):
Well, and I just got to say we haven't been around for a
while, because we've got a lotgoing on.
We've had hurricanes, we've hadprojects, so yeah, so we're back
.
I think probably some peoplewere even on vacation, I don't
remember it's been a lot.
But hey, we are back and readyto wrap up the year with the
Mindful Bytes.
Just a reminder if you want tojump around to different topics,
you can use the chapter markers.
(01:13):
On the episode Ashton, whydon't you go ahead and get us
started?
Tell us about these Meta RayBands.
Ashton (01:20):
These things are awesome .
I've really enjoyed using theseso far.
Me and Brian have a pair.
He has the limited editionclear ones and I have the large
Wayfarers and I mean thesethings are just, they're
something else.
Ever since I've switched toAndroid, I've been complaining
(01:44):
about Google not being as goodas Siri, but in my opinion, meta
is actually the best artificialintelligence.
Over Siri and Google and Geminiand all of them, I've liked
Meta the best, which is a reallyhigh standard.
Brian (02:04):
Why is Meta the best to you?
You?
Ashton (02:06):
I think it's honestly just because of the cameras
because, like it talks reallynaturally, just like siri does
it, it has relevant information.
It hasn't failed me withirrelevant information yet, but
I think it's because it can seewhat you're seeing.
It has these little camerashere.
You'll see, it has some littlecameras.
It's actually talking right nowbut, uh, you'll see, it has
(02:29):
little cameras and it just itsees the world around you and it
gets information from it andit's really, really good at it I
don't think it's interesting.
Brian (02:39):
Ashton, like with, like you just said, like it's talking
right now, that is veryinteresting because I know it's
something you're probably goingto cover.
But like I love the sound, howyou can hear, but other people
around you can't hear it.
Really, but it is kind of weirdbecause it's like you have
voices in your head just say,walking down the sidewalk, I'm
listening to a podcast, or itstarts talking to me and Shawna
(03:01):
talking.
It's like I'm sorry, hold on asecond, my glasses are talking
to me and Sean was talking.
It's like I'm sorry, hold on asecond, my glasses are talking
to me.
I got to figure out how to turnthat off.
Shawna (03:08):
At least people are already used to hearing people
talking to themselves because ofheadsets and everything.
Like you see people walkingaround talking to themselves all
the time.
It's no big deal anymore.
Ashton (03:18):
That's true.
The only thing.
The only thing with these are,so I have to keep the volume low
because of that.
But with AirPods you can tellthat they're listening to
something.
When it comes to these, youcan't tell, so that I have
noticed.
I've seen one other person inreal life wear these and it took
(03:40):
me like I like stepped back fora moment because I was like, oh
, that is so weird, like I justwasn't expecting that.
You're used to seeing someoneholding their phone, talking on
speaker phone, or you're used tosomeone wearing airpods or
having their phone next to them,but it's just, it's not there
and it's.
It's really freaky actuallyokay.
Brian (04:00):
So these okay.
So I want to give a quick recap, as you're, you know, getting
ready to dive into the glassesthemselves.
I know at MetaConnect theyshowed a lot of the new features
, things that you can use theseglasses for, like streaming live
to Instagram, to Facebook.
They have Meta AI that can seethings.
Like you said, the glasses cansee what you're looking at.
(04:21):
It's got the audio where youcan hear I don't remember what
they call it it's like a spatialaudio, which is a really cool
feature.
Also, the translation stuff,like all this meta AI stuff.
There's a lot packed in theseglasses with the meta AI and I
think that's why you're touchingon saying, like you love this
meta AI, you think this is verypowerful.
So those are just some of thequick insights of what I know
(04:42):
that the glasses can do.
So go ahead, explain more.
Can you go a little bit deeperon the glasses, of what you've
experienced?
What you have experienced onthe glasses so far?
Ashton (04:54):
So some of the things I've found really interesting
with these.
The commercials do a lot ofidentification related things,
including, actually, I think, inthe conference they also did it
.
So I've experimented with IDingplants and it has been pretty
accurate.
There's some hard ones thatit's missed, but for the most
part it's done really well.
(05:15):
I have done building IDs.
So when you're just walkingthrough a city you look up at
something and you're like whatis this building?
And it can find your location.
Actually in Ohio we went tothis place called Deeds Carillon
and it did that perfectly.
It looked right up at thebuilding and knew exactly where
we were.
(05:36):
I've done car IDs.
So I've seen cars on the roadand I'm like hey, what is this
car?
And it's got that really well.
I learned that it does twodifferent ways of doing that.
It will either read the badgesor, if it can't read the badges,
it tries to identify the bodyshape.
So it's pretty good because ittries to combine both.
It can usually get the yearlike it, down to the model year,
(05:58):
which is really impressive.
Brian (05:59):
It's actually.
You can read.
The text is what you're sayingon the car.
Interesting.
Ashton (06:04):
It's really impressive.
Another one that has done verywell is animal ID.
I have been out fishing and ithas been able to ID birds like
herons that are walking by.
It's been able to ID fish thatI've caught.
To be fair, I've only caught alargemouth bass, but it did get
it, so that's impressive.
Brian (06:29):
Can you teach it?
Can you say, like if you catcha bluegill you can say no, uh,
this is a largemouth bass.
Like, can you correct it?
Like teach it I don't believeso.
I don't believe so you knowwhen you were little, like we
would like, there was planesthat would fly by and be like
look a dog, and your mom saiddon't do that to him, he's going
to grow up thinking that that'sa dog and it's a plane.
So I didn't know if we could dothat to the Meta AI glasses.
Ashton (06:51):
I don't believe so.
I don't believe so.
Shawna (06:55):
Teach it.
Ashton (06:56):
Something that Meta shows a lot of, though,
something that they think issuper impressive, which I agree,
is their problem solvingabilities.
They can be presented with aproblem and they will try and
solve it.
One that they advertise is it'sa person holding a plant, like
in a pot, and they're like meta.
(07:17):
What's wrong with this plant?
Is this plant healthy?
And it can give theminformation on.
Oh, it has yellow, hasyellowing leaves, it may need
water or it may need sunlight.
That's something I wanted toask you guys.
What are some otherproblem-solving tasks it could
do?
What do you think?
Brian (07:37):
I got a dead plant back there.
I should ask it what it needs.
It's in really bad shape.
Ashton (07:42):
It'll probably tell you it's just dead.
Brian (07:44):
I'll blame it on the hurricane, but I don't think
that was the problem.
Shawna (07:48):
You're supposed to be yeah, you're supposed to be
blocking that with your head.
Ashton (07:52):
Like don't let me see the dead plant.
Shawna (07:55):
That's 100% my responsibility.
Brian (07:57):
You want me to hold it up in front of me and ask it
what's?
Shawna (08:01):
wrong with the plant?
No, no, no, thank you.
What's wrong with the plan?
No, no, no, thank you.
Uh, ashton, I think umsomething that I heard that you
did the other day that I thinkis a really interesting idea is
to show ingredients and ask whatyou can make out of it, you
know, for recipe ideas.
Or you know, everybody hasthose days where you're like, oh
(08:22):
, I don't know what to cook, butyou have these few things.
I love that idea and it'shands-free, so it's not like you
have to go get out your phoneor your laptop and start
searching and scroll through it.
You can do it while you'redoing other things, which I
think is cool.
Ashton (08:38):
That is very impressive, because I was doing that in a
store when I told her about that, I was caretaking for someone's
house.
No, that's not the word.
What's it called Homesitting,is that?
Olivia (08:49):
what it's called yeah homesitting, yeah, homesitting.
Ashton (08:52):
I was house sitting for some friends and when I went out
to get groceries I picked upsome potatoes because I was just
going to make some bakedpotatoes and I got normal
ingredients.
I got cheese and sour cream andall that and I was like you
know what?
I'm going to ask it what itthinks I should add.
And one of the things that cameup with was parsley and I was
like that is such a good idea.
(09:13):
I didn't even think about that,but it's just one of the things
that they've been workingreally hard on.
Brian (09:21):
So you could look inside your refrigerator and say, do
you have any recipes that I canuse?
What recipes can I use of theseingredients?
Is that what you do?
Is that kind of how theapproach is?
Ashton (09:33):
You can do that and then , alongside that, it will tell
you at what temperatures somethings need to be cooked, at
some things it knows how long.
It's very helpful.
Brian (09:44):
Olivia, what about you?
You got any ideas on thisinteresting?
Olivia (09:48):
um a couple things.
Number one I was wondering doesit have like um I get like gps
on it, like if you're driving?
Ashton (09:57):
and you're wearing the glasses I've been trying to mess
with that.
I haven't been able to get itto.
It does have GPS on its photos.
When you take a photo with it,it can tell you where you took
the photo.
Now I don't know if it's addingthat in the app, because
there's a companion app toimport the photos.
So I don't know if it's thecompanion app adding that or if
(10:20):
it's the glasses, because whenyou try to set up a GPS to it,
it just turns these intoBluetooth speakers.
The phone is still your GPS andthese are just the speakers
Gotcha gotcha.
And I've asked them fordirections and it won't give
them to me.
It'll just open Waze.
Yeah, I think you're rightthere.
Brian (10:42):
I've actually tested that online where, trying to ask it
to show me my location, it saysit cannot give geo, like it
can't do geolocations right nowor geotargeting, but it must,
(11:04):
like you said it, probably.
I get out at the airport and Ilook at my parking number or if
I look at a road sign I can sayremember where I parked my car.
And I can look at those signsand it will tell me you're at
your part at this street, atthis corner or at this number,
so you can't ask it to remindyou of those things, which is
great number so you can't ask itto remind you those things,
(11:28):
which is great, yeah, no, I lovethat.
Shawna (11:28):
So I have a question.
Yeah, that's really helpful.
Can you like wear the glasses,like take off down the street or
whatever, without having yourphone with you, will it?
Ashton (11:37):
it will do certain things or is it it's?
Limited without the phone.
Okay, that is one of itsdownsides, is it?
It is yeah.
Brian (11:45):
I don't think you have to have the phone.
What do you mean limited?
How is it?
Ashton (11:50):
limited without the phone.
It's limited in most of its AIfeatures because it does not
have cell service.
It's fully Bluetooth enabled.
So if you go far away from yourphone, one of the examples I
have is when I was fishing, Ileft my phone near my tackle box
and I walked to the other sideof the lake and when it
(12:12):
disconnected, it'll still takephotos, It'll still take videos,
but it won't the AI won'tcommunicate with you.
It won't play music, whichmakes sense because that's
through the phone.
So all of that is phone enabled.
Brian (12:26):
So that's usually about like 30 or 50 feet, I think.
With the Bluetooth you have tobe within that range.
That's interesting to know.
I didn't think I know aboutthat.
Shawna (12:34):
Yeah, that is one of its downsides okay, I'm sure that
at some point they'll have onesthat will have, like their own,
probably wi-fi connector, acellular.
Ashton (12:48):
That's right, yeah, word , it is very similar to what the
apple, so that you could verysimilar to what the apple
watches do is probably what theywill do because the first gen I
think maybe second gen appleWatch didn't have cell service
and then, shortly after thatdevelopment cycle, they added it
.
So I'm sure that's what willhappen to these, because these
(13:08):
have been out what like a year,maybe not even.
Brian (13:14):
Yeah, well, the Ray-Bans, like the new ones, that has the
Meta AI, has been out for overa year Because they just did the
.
I think they announced the notthis last meta connect, but the
connect before.
But the ray bands have been outfor longer than that.
Ashton (13:27):
They just didn't have the meta ai, so the meta yeah,
so uh, yeah, I think we'retalking about the meta ray band,
the meta ray bands yeah, um,but uh.
Brian (13:37):
so, on a kind of like a funny side, I would love it if I
could use use it as a use caseto saying, hey, when I look at
somebody said, remember thattheir name is Shawna, so then
next time I see them, it's likethis is Shawna.
Olivia (13:51):
Yeah, that would be so beneficial.
I have not tested that thatwould be awesome.
Ashton (13:57):
It would be very interesting if it did, though.
Brian (14:00):
The other thing is like I do have a serious idea, but
have you tested it?
Ashton (14:07):
That first one was serious.
You said it's a joke, but Ithink that'd be useful.
Brian (14:10):
Have you tested it?
Asking what kind of animal ourdog is?
Because we can never determineexactly 100% what breed she is.
Ashton (14:18):
So it does do that.
I don't know how accurate it is.
I don't have too much of a wayto test it.
The dogs it has tried it hasbeen close.
If they are mixed it canusually find the dominant gene
and nothing else.
So for example for our dog, uh,we were told that she's
(14:40):
purebred yorkie.
She might be, she may also havea little bit of dotson in her.
These glasses just say she'syorkie or there's a golden
retriever, that I know, andthat's all.
it's mixed, but it only knewgolden retriever, so it can find
that primary thing, but itdoesn't know any of the smaller
(15:01):
ones, which makes sense, gotcha.
That makes sense.
Olivia (15:04):
Yes, what it looks the most like that makes sense.
Brian (15:06):
Well, one of my ideas and Olivia, you probably would love
this idea too or even Shawnalike doing social media and
stuff like that.
I tested it out with Instagram.
I have not tested out Facebook,but I love that you can do live
stream videos with it, andwhat's cool about it is you can
switch between cameras.
(15:26):
Once you're live, I can be onthe phone and the people on the
phone looking at me, like youare right now like on a Zoom
call and having thatconversation, Be like here,
check this out and I can justtap my glasses and it takes the
camera and switches it to myglasses for a first person view.
So, like, imagine, like atevents, at concerts if you're
speaking on a stage, it's likepeople can see what you're
(15:49):
looking at.
Even at the Meta Connect, whenthey brought out the Orion
glasses, the person that wascarrying the big metal case to
Zuckerberg actually had a pairof these on and he he actually
did a live video showing himactually walking out carrying
him up and I'm opening it so itwas super cool.
Yeah, it was a really cool feel.
So I want to kind of put thisout there and ask you guys how
(16:11):
do you guys see?
Because, like, one of thethings I've been looking at is
like, if, if I do things onsocial media, how could I
incorporate these and do atotally different approach?
But do it like a first personview, like what are your
thoughts about that?
Cause that can really changeyour whole content creation
process.
Is that a wrong question to ask?
Shawna (16:31):
My camera's frozen.
I'm just kidding.
I don't think it's a wrongquestion, I just think that, uh,
that it's going to take somethought, like I can definitely
see some content ideas comingout of that.
I love the idea.
I like seeing videos like thatthat are point of view.
Is that the right way to say it, like a first person view?
Yeah, yeah, I could see it.
(16:53):
I could see some things comingout of that.
I just can't think of anyspecific.
Ashton (16:57):
Yeah, what I've personally used it, for I've
been wanting to make reels for along time just to mess around,
and so when I've been out takingphotos, I've been using these
and I've really liked the videosso far.
They're really smooth, theimage stabilization is really
good, but before there wasn'tthat many point of view options.
(17:18):
I mean you can do a GoProstrapped up high.
There are cameras you can getthat clip onto your hat bill,
but not exactly like a pair ofglasses, and so it does record
out of your left camera, so itis barely off center when you
move your head, but you reallydon't notice.
(17:38):
I have a reel up on myInstagram account that if you
want to see a good example,that's a great place to go to go
see one.
Brian (17:48):
Well, actually, Ashton, you should give us the link.
We'll put it in the show notesas well, so people can check it
out, because that actually is areally good point.
That was a really cool reel thatyou did because it showed you
actually being out at thelocations and walking around,
because it showed you actuallybeing out at the locations and
walking around and all of asudden you lifted up your camera
and you went and it went to thefree shot of the actual camera
from the, the photo from thecamera, which is a really cool
(18:09):
feel.
So I think, the creativity ofhow you can approach content
wearing these glasses.
I was actually talking tosomeone recently that said that
they have been for the last yearrecording a personal journal
for their kids and to remember,like their I guess, their mom's
entire life, like how she's, thedifferent things she's doing
(18:30):
throughout the day, so it's likea live journal that they can go
back and replay from her pointof view.
Oh, I love that idea yeah,that's so cool.
Olivia (18:40):
Yeah, I was just gonna yeah To your question.
I do think that you know,people like Ashton talked about
already, kind of do that kind ofreel where it's like from a
first person perspective.
But I do think that theseglasses will make it so much
easier because there is, youknow, like you have to have
(19:05):
certain cameras, like I knowthey sell some now that you wear
around your neck and likethere's a lot of setup and
things that go into getting thatpoint of view.
So I think this is definitelygoing to save people a lot of
time, that's for sure I was.
Ashton (19:24):
I was just going to mention that is the ease of use.
They're just.
You just put them on, theyconnect.
You don't have to do anythingelse.
You just hit the button, that'sit.
Shawna (19:32):
They're recording and also, you can actually even like
go ahead, go ahead, Shawna Iwas gonna say also wouldn't you
just feel like you soconspicuous, like you stand out
like a sore thumb if you've gota camera on your hat or on your
neck, Like you know it wouldfeel uncomfortable and with the
glasses it's just like oh, youdon't have glasses.
Brian (19:53):
The thing about the glasses too.
I remember doing this at.
We went to a car show and I wasjust taking photos just with
the glasses and they.
We went to a car show and I wasjust taking photos just with
the glasses and and they cameout amazing.
It was, you know, getting usedto, like you said, ashton, the
cameras on the left lens.
There's a right one.
So, like right now, I don't haveto even tap it.
I can just say hey, meta,record a video.
(20:16):
And I don't know if you guyscan see that right now it's
recording.
But do you see that light thatjust lit up on my right side of
my glasses?
That lets everybody know thatI'm recording?
Hey, meta, stop the recording.
So it makes beeps and stuff andgives me a light on the inside.
So I know it's doing stuff, butI don't have to even touch the
glasses.
I can just ask it to hey, meta,take a photo.
And there it goes.
(20:38):
It flashes a white light.
So people that might belistening and thinking about
what privacy concerns, uh, thereis a bright light that shines.
And they did, I believe.
Ashton correct me if I'm wrong.
I think they made it where ifyou try to cover that light up.
Ashton (20:50):
It will not work but what's really nice is it knows
the difference and if you'retrying or not trying to cover it
and it can tell.
So, like if my hat bill is toolow, it says, hey, your hat is
in your camera's way, but we'restill recording which is really
(21:12):
nice.
And then if it realizes the ledis covered which I have no clue
how it detects that, but it can, uh, if it realizes that, then
it tells you hey, your LED iscovered, we are not recording.
Brian (21:25):
So tell us about the translation stuff, because I
know there's a lot there.
That's something that I feellike is so useful to a lot of
people in everyday life.
Have you tested that?
Explain to us how they explainthat should work so I've tested
it.
Ashton (21:44):
It works really well, from what I can tell.
Uh, the main way I've tested itis by reading signs.
I've done this at a fewdifferent locations, including
an airport.
It works really well.
It just reads the sign and andjust translate it for you.
Brian (22:01):
Uh, so it's really good reading a sign like in a
different language that aredifferent language.
You can look at it and ask sowhat do you do?
Do you ask it like, let's say,we're reading, it's a spanish
sign, or maybe it's a signwritten in france, a french so?
It's written in france and it'sactually written in.
It's actually in german, butthey wrote in france, so
normally what you do.
Ashton (22:22):
They did just release an update, so I don't know if you
have to specify the language nowI don't think you do how?
Like the exact command you giveit is hey, meta, can you
translate this sign for me,making sure mine didn't turn on
no, so you don't know, you don'thave to do, you have to say
translated to english, or itjust automatically knows what
language it knows your primarylanguage.
(22:43):
You set that in the app whenyou set it up.
Gotcha, gotcha.
Shawna (22:48):
Very cool.
Ashton (22:49):
And so you tried that and it worked well.
Yeah, it worked great, fromwhat I could tell.
I don't know Spanish so I don'texactly know what the sign said
, but it used proper grammar.
There was an English and aSpanish sign right next to each
other I believe it was abathroom sign and when I read it
it just read the exact samething that was on the English
one, so I'm assuming that thatis what that sign said they were
(23:10):
right next to each other.
So I think that was it.
I made sure that it couldn'tsee the other sign too, just to
make sure it wasn't cheating,did you?
Brian (23:20):
like peek your head and say excuse me, is this the men's
?
Olivia (23:22):
bathroom.
Brian (23:22):
Just want to make sure before I come in.
Olivia (23:24):
No, no, I don't think traveling abroad really is a lot
easier, for sure.
Ashton (23:35):
It would, and something else that they're working on,
which was also in the commercial, is having two pairs between
two people and you being able totalk to each other and it
translating.
Shawna (23:47):
That would be amazing.
Ashton (23:50):
Which is really nice.
Something that I haven't testedyet is if they can do audio
translation.
If you can hear something andit translate it for you, I
wouldn't be surprised if theycan do it.
If it's not available yet, itis available soon, because they
did market that also in the metaconnect.
Um, oh, that's what my nextthing.
(24:14):
Was there anything else youguys wanted to say?
Olivia (24:16):
I have a question.
So I wear contacts and I have apretty heavy prescription.
So even if I were to get randomreading glasses at CVS or
something that makes my visionlook blurry, so what is the
prescription, or can you getthem to your prescription, or
(24:39):
what's that like with wearingthese glasses?
Ashton (24:43):
So I know you can get prescription for them.
I haven't yet I haven't messedwith that.
I'm planning on doing iteventually.
I just haven't set aside themoney to do that yet.
But, Shawna, what would you say, because I know you just wore
them?
Was it really blurry when youwore them with your contacts
before you got on here?
Shawna (25:05):
No, so it's just a plain glass, as far as I can tell.
So I wear contacts as well.
So when I was using them it wascompletely clear, just like
normal.
Yeah, I think that's.
The only downfall is if someoneonly wears glasses and has a
prescription, but doesn't wantto pay the money to have a
prescription put in their metaglasses, then that that's hard
(25:27):
to use, right, ashton?
Because you've tried using them, you know, without your glasses
, and then, of course, you can'talways see everything great.
So I think if you have contacts, not a problem.
If you have perfect vision, nota problem.
Or if you get your prescriptionin them, not a problem.
But otherwise, you know, if youhave glasses, I think, then
you're going to have some issues.
Brian (25:48):
Yeah, yeah, I know mine.
I don't have prescriptions inmine and my glasses Like if I
put these on I can see a lotbetter than with the Ray-Bans.
But so I would definitelysuggest if you wear glasses I
would get the go ahead and payand have the prescription lenses
put in it.
I know that they have a companythat does that when you order
(26:09):
them for meta.
Ashton (26:13):
So that would be the way I would definitely go if you
need those so kind of off.
The same thing as translating.
These are really good atreading and actually I just had
Shawna test this with me too.
When you take these and you putthem on and everything, you can
actually ask it to read a pageand it will take a photo of a
page of your book and read themto you and it actually sounds
really nice.
Or you can even ask it tosummarize for you.
(26:37):
So I took my book and I openedto the preface and I had it
summarize the preface for me andit did really well, like it
took all these.
It took all these words andturned it to like maybe two
sentences worth of summary.
It was really, reallyimpressive.
Brian (26:59):
Interesting, so it takes, you just ask it.
You just look at something andwhat do you say?
Ashton (27:05):
The exact command is hey , Meta, can you read this to me?
You can say can you read thispage to me?
You can also say hey, Meta,please summarize this for me, oh
, okay.
Brian (27:18):
Nice.
Shawna (27:21):
I found this interesting when Ashton showed me what you
know how to do it and what itfelt like, what it you know
sounded like, I found it veryinteresting that it said, just
to give you a heads up, this isstarting with the preface.
Because that's just aninteresting detail to me,
because, of course, if you thinkyou're starting a book, preface
(27:43):
oftentimes is very different,or sometimes even just an
introduction, and so I thoughtthat was interesting.
It's like, hey, don't thinkthis is like the beginning of
the book.
Brian (27:53):
If you're using these glasses to give you a summary of
the book for your class, thisis a preface.
You probably want to go alittle bit deeper than that.
Shawna (28:01):
Yeah, exactly.
Olivia (28:04):
Yeah.
Brian (28:05):
Where does this information go?
Like in chat, gbt, you know ithas like a text history.
So if you're asking thesethings and you're asking it to,
if you're asking questions andstuff, where does it go?
Can you?
Can you access that outside?
Ashton (28:20):
the actual glasses.
Where does it go?
Can you?
Can you access that outside theactual glasses?
Yes, you can access it also inthe companion app.
There's a history log in thecompanion app and it also saves
a photo.
I think it saves the photo forlike a month.
Oh, okay so if you say, readthis and you go back and look in
the history, it's going to havethat photo there so you can
actually double check what itsaid and everything.
Brian (28:41):
And you said it's like would you call it a companion
log?
Is that you?
It's going to have that photothere so you can actually double
check what it said andeverything?
And you said it's like wouldyou call it a companion log?
Is that what you said?
It's a companion app, okay.
Is that accessible on a desktopor only on the meta app on the
phone?
I don't know.
Ashton (28:52):
I don't know if it's accessible on desktop, I've only
used it through a phone.
I know it works on Apple, Iknow it works on Android, I
don't know on Mac, linux andWindows, so that would
definitely be something to checkout.
Brian (29:05):
I would definitely like to know that, because if I could
access the history on thecomputer, that would be probably
easier than using the Meta app.
So cool, now does it require adifferent app?
We're not talking about theFacebook app, right?
Ashton (29:17):
We're talking about yeah , it's a different app.
That's why, yeah, it's adifferent app.
That's why, yeah, it's acompanion app.
It's called MetaView.
It's its own app.
It doesn't use Facebook orInstagram.
Brian (29:28):
Okay, and how about storage space?
Like?
Is it?
Does it record in the cloud?
Is it, though?
Is it actually the device?
Ashton (29:36):
space.
It stays on the glasses untilit syncs to the app where you
can choose to delete it whereyou want to.
Uh, you can have it specifiedwhen you go to delete something.
Delete only from meta view,delete from glasses, delete from
phone.
Okay, all right, those are yourthree options.
It will record by itself.
Like I was kind of telling youwhen I was fishing, I can walk
(29:59):
to the other side of the lake.
It'll still take photos andrecord.
It just doesn't immediatelysync.
Can't play music, can't useMeta AI, okay so, now that you
said that, here's a concern.
Brian (30:09):
Should people be taking these things off when they go in
bathrooms and stuff like that,or what?
Ashton (30:13):
so it is meta.
It meta is known for datacollection.
I don't know how much it isleaving the companion app.
I personally don't wear them inthe bathroom, uh, so take that
as you will.
I'm not.
Meta is pretty protective overstuff.
(30:33):
It's pretty hard to find thatinformation.
So I'll leave that part at thatinteresting.
Brian (30:45):
I just thought that would be a good concern there.
Ashton (30:49):
Yeah, I, um, it is meta so I don't trust them in that
sense.
But it's also meta, which meansthey have really good uh, a
really good user interface.
They're good at that with theirsocial media apps.
They're good at their sounddesign, so kind of how you were
talking about before, brian,about it beeping.
It's not an annoying beep, it'snot like an oven beep.
(31:09):
That's like just alwaysannoying you.
It's actually a really nicebeep.
It's never bothered me, it'sactually been very informative
when it you know if you're nottalking to them and they think
you're talking to them they do alittle beep before they start
talking, and so it doesn'treally catch you off guard.
It's just kind of I don't know.
It's kind of just there.
It lets you know thatsomething's happening.
Brian (31:35):
Well, I definitely know it's kind of just there.
It lets you know thatsomething's happening.
Well, I definitely know I'veenjoyed them on my reflection
time because I didn't think Iwould enjoy listening to music
on as much as I do.
But I really love them becauseit's so different to be able to
walk around and still hear thenature around you and hear music
silently or a podcast, and nothave things stuck in my ears.
So I've been really amazed withI didn't think I would like
(31:55):
that would be that important,but it really helps me be
present even while wearing theglasses.
So I love this spatial audioand I think it's a great, great
thing and I love.
How like you got you know youcan control everything by
touching and swiping.
Just type touching the glassesto turn up the volume, turn it
down.
Ashton (32:14):
It's just amazing.
What's that?
The gestures are amazing.
Brian (32:18):
Yeah, they're great, and that's why I mean it's.
You could also just ask it todo it, but it's very nice.
You can just lightly swipe onthe glasses.
Shawna (32:27):
Does it have the ability ?
You know, like Brian you talkedabout the plod was called plod
or plod note, uh in the pastabout how it will record and
then in the app it transcribesfor you.
Does it have an option likethat, like if you're listening
to a speech or something, thatyou could record it and then
yeah, I was just curious I cancheck real quick, I can check.
Ashton (32:49):
I know that it does do the transcripts for what it sees
on its image.
I don't know if it does audiobecause its mics are really good
.
It points specifically at youbecause I've walked around on
the phone before and peoplecan't hear outside of the
glasses, which I've been reallyimpressed by because actually
(33:12):
when I flew to ohio recently Icalled you guys and it it.
You guys can't even tell it wasjust so.
Here's the.
Here's the downside.
Brian (33:21):
I don't think it will work.
And here's the here's thereason why.
Uh, I love what you're talkingabout with the mic action,
because even when I had them onwhenever you said meta, like it
didn't recognize you saying that, so it wasn't going off on my
face, so it must be adirectional mic when you're
speaking.
If I, if I record a video,what's really cool about it is
actually uses it uses spatialaudio, so like if you're on my
(33:44):
left side and then someone elseis on the right when it records,
it's using that.
So if you play it back, thatperson is going to be on the
left speaker, the right speaker.
So that's really cool.
But here's the here's.
The reason why I say itprobably doesn't do that is
there's only a three minute timelimit on recording anything I
was just gonna mention.
So where, like the plot, I canhit record, like and I got this
(34:06):
new one now, so I'll have tocover that next time but I can
hit record, I can record as longas I want and it's taking all
the notes and then and thentakes it into ai and does all
the summaries and stuff likethat.
So I don't think that it can dothat.
To that ability plus thebattery life on those on these
glasses aren't like top of theline, I think what they say like
.
I think if you turn off themeta ai it's about four to six
(34:30):
hours, but with it it on it'slike two hours.
Ashton (34:33):
I was actually just working on getting around to
that, so I'm actually reallyimpressed because they advertise
very low numbers.
I've gotten very high numbersout of mine the entire time I
used them for the reel that Ipublished.
I was recording.
I think I got like I think Iwas recording about an hour that
(34:56):
day and anytime I wasn'trecording I probably was
actually closer to two hours,but anytime I wasn't recording I
was playing music and they wentthe whole day without ever
being put in their case.
So that was roughly six hours ofmusic, two hours of recording,
and I filled up at storage twicerecording where I had to go to
(35:17):
the meta app.
I had to remove all fromglasses, make sure all was saved
to my phone and then just keptrecording.
So I don't know if this is theWayfair large.
It may have a larger battery,so that is possible.
The limited editions do notcome in large, so it may have a
smaller battery, but I don'tknow why they would do that.
(35:42):
Well, because they wereconnected to my phone the entire
time.
In fact, actually my phonealmost died multiple times
during that trip because theRay-Bans were outliving the
phone, so I'm not sure.
That's kind of a gray area.
Brian (35:58):
I do like that.
You can put the phones youcharge the case.
So once you charge the case youcan put the glasses back in
here and it'll charge them backup, so that is a nice feature of
the case.
Olivia (36:09):
So what is the price point on these bad boys?
Ashton (36:15):
so they can go anywhere.
So these are 300, I believe.
If you get the special lensesput in them, the they have a
transition.
If you get transition you haveactually.
Brian (36:28):
Yeah, the ones that you have are actually.
Those are actually let mecorrect you those are like
around 400 and something.
So cause.
Ashton (36:34):
Those have transitional lenses.
That's what I'm, that's whatI'm trying to get to.
They're $300.
With transitional lenses itadds $70 to that price, and then
the limited editions are, orwere, slightly more, and then I
don't know how much it costs toput prescriptions in.
I don't know if that is covered.
I'm assuming it's not.
(36:54):
It's probably not and from whatI understand, you can get
transitionals and prescriptions,because that's what I'm going
to be doing.
Shawna (37:02):
Yeah, that makes sense.
Ashton (37:04):
So they're moderately priced.
They're a little expensive,especially compared to some
other AI things, but they'realso very good and they're
glasses.
So once you take into accountthat their glasses, people pay
more than that just for a pairof sunglasses.
So it's kind of on thein-between.
So I think they're.
I think they're like betweenthree 500.
Olivia (37:24):
Yeah, that's actually not as much as I thought you
were going to say.
I honestly was thinking closerto like 800 plus actually.
Ashton (37:35):
Really Wow they.
I mean they feel like theycould be yeah.
Olivia (37:39):
So and I wonder if you know how, like oh sorry, oh no,
go ahead.
I was just going to say Iwonder if, as they continue to
improve, if they'll have like aversion that is more affordable
for people, just so more peoplecan have access to them, that
you know how iPhones havedifferent levels, maybe they'll
(38:00):
have different levels of glassesas well.
Ashton (38:05):
I could see that yeah, I could see lower quality cameras
and you know a few things likethat.
I could definitely see that.
Uh, just a few more things Ijust wanted to cover real quick.
Uh, they are kind of like whatI was telling you guys.
They're really good with theircameras.
Uh, I've used them to id a fewdifferent items and to give me
history on a few different items.
(38:26):
So I had it check out mypolaroid camera.
It could tell me the exactmodel, the year, what kind of
film it took.
I had it help me with somebrainstorming questions.
I'm designing a little lure, soI have it drawn in my notebook
and I had it help me paint it.
So it came up with like youshould put pink on it because
the bass like the color pink.
(38:47):
They strike that because theybelieve it's injured, and to put
little green stripes going downit on a base coat of green and
it I mean it's done a lot.
Even like the little board inthe back.
I had it describe everythingthat was on the board.
So, like it went through andsaid this note says this this
(39:07):
handwritten note says thisthere's jewelry hanging off of
it.
There are fedoras next to it.
Uh, there appears to be likepasses, like concert passes
hanging off of it, all kinds ofthings, like it's done really,
really well, even going down tolike, hey, is this room
considered clean?
Would you call this hotel roomclean?
(39:28):
Uh, and it would tell me thatwhen I, when I asked it about
this room, it was like this roomis clean, but there are books
on the ground because there'sbooks sitting in the corner.
It was like so I would get ashelf for that and I was like,
yeah, I'm not doing that, I likemy passion, I think that what I
, what my takeaway on this is.
Brian (39:47):
I think that really what sets these things apart and why
the like why you're saying themeta ai is like one of the top
ones that you've like you feelright now is because it's a,
it's the ai version thatactually sees what you're seeing
.
It's it's not like like chat,gbt, like they have video
formats on here now where youcan actually ask it and it's
(40:08):
looking at you and stuff likethat.
But I guess you could.
You might be able to reverseyour phone I haven't tested that
, but being able to naturallyhave the glasses on and not have
to pull out your phone and askall that and you can just talk
to your glasses and it responds,I think that's an amazing use
case for AI in a wearable.
I think that's the thing.
This is one of the firstwearables out there for AI, so I
(40:34):
would love to hear otherpeople's thoughts on the podcast
.
If you're listening, let usknow.
Click the text us message onthe show notes.
Let us know some of thethoughts that you have, maybe
some ideas or questions you haveabout these meta AI Ray-Bans
like, maybe some use cases thatyou might have or some concerns
we would love to hear from youas well.
Ashton, do you have anythingelse you want to wrap up with?
Ashton (40:54):
I mean, they're just great glasses and I've really
enjoyed using them and, as faras I know, they're the only
smart wearable including AIwearable that looks like normal
glasses, like if you saw these.
They don't look like they're,you know, big, clunky, like,
(41:16):
basically like a VR headset.
They're just really nicelooking.
So, even if you weren't goingto use the features as much, it
might be worth just getting apair of the sunglasses because
they are Ray-Ban.
The sunglasses are amazing.
Brian (41:27):
So just imagine when Orion comes out.
That's going to be a whole gamechanger.
Augmented reality in glasseslike that it's going to be
incredible.
