For thoughs that are probably in the know, we have the meta glasses which can tell you what is in front of you with the hey meta? assistant should you use it. They can also record videos up to 3 minutes. But unfortunately they used for that perpos alone, which is a privicy nitemare considering they are stored on the servers for whatever reason. But do you use them and what are your experiences?
I've heard of them but never used them. Who knows maybe I may ask for them for like a future christmas present. But I have heard tuns of adds for them.
They sound very useful, but the privacy concerns make me hesitant to ask for them for any type of present. People I knnow say they are useful for a lot of things, but again, it's debatable whether to get them or not. Just the amount of data that meta would have on me is something I feel a bit squeamish about. I know that all the big companies track everything now, including google where I get my email and youtube from, but there is something sinister about meta's holding onto personal photos. There are other glasses that could be an option, like the echovision and/or orcam my eye, but I'm uncertain whether they are as good as meta.
I have the cyan glasses (you know, the hey cyan? ones) But aI rarely use it much because of reasons, even though image descriptions are good, Since I pared it with the original hey cyan app, it does this thing with descriptions where. It
ll do this pausingthingandtalklikethisthrewtheglassesasif it washolosonatingforwhatever the reason, but that
's probably to be expected with those glasses. Also the original hey cyan doesn't let you switch the TTS voice of the glasses, the voices they use are based on the microsoft neural voices just like the zoom h1
I've heard of the orcams but I never used them, I wasn't allowed to as I was too young at the time when they came out because I was born in 2005 and was told I'd brake them because they were, and posably are, still frajile.
I have the meter glasses, but apparently, it is beeing closed for further notice, because people are taking pictures, spesifically of girls, which we all no is not good. In fact, i am starting to reconsider my disition of getting them. Loads of places are starting to ban them all because of this, and I kind of no why.
