00:00Every time smart glasses get brought up, the comments immediately turn into a privacy debate.
00:05And you know what? Fair enough.
00:06People found the absolute worst ways to use wearable cameras,
00:10which sucks because it completely ruined what was genuinely some of my favorite daily tech.
00:15I've tested a ridiculous amount of headphones,
00:17and Meta Glasses had better call quality and situational awareness
00:21than basically any other earbud I've used.
00:23I really wish I was kidding.
00:24At least now, Meta is low-key admitting that cameras were the problem.
00:28This is the Ray-Ban Meta Audio.
00:30Zero cameras, zero video.
00:32There's 43 grams of glasses with 12 hours of battery life
00:35and open-ear speakers packed into these Clubmaster and Burbank frames.
00:39Again, no surveillance paranoia, no weird looks in public,
00:42just clear calls, total awareness on the street,
00:45optional AI on tap, all without mounting a camera lens to your face.
00:49This is clearly the most practical route Meta can take right now, given the backlash.
00:52But after years of pushing wearable cameras,
00:55is this something that's, like, still too little too late?
