Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
These could be pretty incredible if the platform was more open. You get highly available image and voice input, and good voice output.<p>Imagine if you could take a picture of anything, add a little note, have it filed away. Not necessarily an awesome Instagram picture, but just a picture of some mail you got, a tool you are putting away, any thing you want to record and save. Heck, why not a picture of your computer screen? Pair that with quickly available audio transcriptions and you can also dictate anything, thoughts, small notes, information associated with the images.<p>That all could be great... if the library of things you made was useful. It&#x27;s pretty clear how it could be useful now; do some OCR and other detection on images, use a vector store for both that and transcripts, and hook it all up to an LLM assistant. It&#x27;s a bit complicated, and a bit expensive to run, but at least for a prototype you could make something pretty incredible.<p>Meta might make something like that... but they aren&#x27;t doing that yet, and they might never do that. If the platform was open people could explore these things right now. And it doesn&#x27;t even need to be radically open, you don&#x27;t need to be able to hack the firmware; but it has to be more open than the preview Ray-Ban glasses, and I&#x27;m assuming more open than this revision.
