Did you even watch the launch?? It doesn't work! They beat no one, as the product is at best looking like a Beta in testing.go figure they beat Timmy boy to marketapple will make these in 6 or 7 years....
Not wrong. Vision Pro is a complete failure.
And by the way, RayBan is Luxottica. Good luck Apple finding a manufacturer to build Apple smart glasses.
Unfortunately depending where one lives that is already a reality.
When the tech gets better and battery life increases watch things like this become second nature, like people walking around with AirPods.
A parallel comparison would be the sentry mode in teslas, they have been life savers to owners in determining liability in accidents. In accidents, altercations, slander etc, no long what a person says matters when there is a high res recording of the event. Maybe it will force people to change negative behavior to something more civilized but that is being optimistic.
Apple wasn’t Swatch or Rolex and figured out how to build a watch. They can figure out how to manufacture a version of these when/if the want to.
I will never buy anything from nor use any of this weirdo’s services.
He played a role in 2016.

If you watch the keynote, it was a horrendous failure on every front. It failed to do a video call and to provide a simple recipe with instructions. The demos were unilateral failures. It’s heavy af and the battery life is on par with aging AirPods.
I was bewildered they invested billions on this garbage and just stunned at how robotic and lifeless the AI voice is. It’s straight from 2006 😂

3K video, 30 fps, 122 degree view, image stabilization in a pair of glasses. Loius CK was right. We tend to lose focus on how incredible things are (in this case the camera/chip mfg not Meta). Anyway... If they can add a screen to the Oakleys even at a higher dollar amount, cyclists/snowboarders/athletes will lose their minds (and lots of $$$ from their wallets). Do not like Meta, but gotta give them credit for this. Next gen with the wrist-wrap (soon to be a watch) might be killer. Tim take note on how to risk money vs. stock buybacks.
What could be worse, than wearing a camera from a company, which is notorious for privacy breaches, mining user's data and shoving ads down your throat?
I guess, only paying for the "privilege".

As a cyclist i can say, that cockpit-mounted cycling computer is more than enough. It's not a snowboard, it does not move.
There is a company producing a bracelet for AW doing something similar, though it’s pretty expensive…

I think I also tried a Chinese clone of this that was much cheaper during last year’s CES.
So with your phone you can take a video of what you are looking at with your ride stats overlaid on top ?? If you are grinding away leaning over the "cockpit" straining/standing on the pedals you can comfortably view your power output & heart rate ?? As another cyclist I will be moving away from the phone, likely with the next gen Meta Oakleys (assumes they add the display and some other connections). BTW: Meta needs to buy Garmin.

hard pass. Facebook is 100% gonna be listening and watching everything you do
At least they do demos live. Apple does whatever it is they call theirs. Prerecorded slop?
