The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are a turning point

Ғылым және технология

Smart glasses have always been a hard sell, but the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are a significant improvement over the original, with better photo, video, and audio quality. They look good, can livestream, and are basically a great alternative to sticking a GoPro on your head. But although we live in the era of content creators, privacy remains an open question. #Meta #RayBan #Technology

    As a cyclist, if they could record longer than 60 seconds at a time (or better yet, record the last 60 seconds into RAM), and last longer than 30 minutes or an hour of recording, then they'd be a game changer for recording cycling commutes in case of an accident.

    100% agree, I feel more than 60 seconds and landscape would be top priority. The 30 second cache, I think with the current tech, battery is just not big enough, and also maybe heating! But more than 60 seconds should be allowed, let it be personal decision to drain it faster.
