Meta Ray-Ban Display review: Chunky frames with impressive abilities

Meta Ray-Ban Display review: Chunky frames with impressive abilities The article discusses Meta's $800 Ray-Ban Display glasses, which the reviewer has been using for 10 days. While the glasses have some impressive features, the reviewer is conflicted about their appearance. The key points: - The frames are very chunky and oversized, which the reviewer feels is not a flattering look. However, the appearance may vary depending on the user's face shape. - The display is clear and bright, with a field of view of 20 degrees. It allows users to view content from apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta AI without constantly checking their phones. - The glasses offer features like live translation, captioning, and walking navigation, which work well but still have some limitations. - The neural band controller allows intuitive gesture-based controls, but the daily charging requirement is a drawback. - Battery life is around 6 hours with heavy use, and the charging case needs to be recharged frequently. - The reviewer has privacy and safety concerns, as the glasses could potentially be used for eavesdropping or distracted use while driving. Overall, the reviewer concludes that while the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses have impressive capabilities, their chunky design and high price tag ($800) make them a difficult recommendation for most people, at least in their current first-generation state.
