What's Inside the Ray-Ban Stories Smart Glasses?

Ғылым және технология

Thanks to ‪@digikey‬ for sponsoring! Today I’m taking a look inside the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses. They’ve got cameras, speakers, microphones, and a whole lot more crammed into these frames: beckystern.com/2023/04/30/ray...

    Food for thought, these are the commercial size. For those willing to pay a premium, the size is likely quite smaller

    I guess the two cameras are to make sure you're filming the centre of your field of view, rather than it being off to one side. So the right part of the left camera's image forms the left part of the image, and vice versa? And then there'll be some trickery in software that'll do stuff like making sure the exposure is the same for both. I guess you could test it by shining a bright light into one of them or something? Or you could if you didn't destroy it, I suppose :D

    If you suspect that the screws have thread lock, try heating them up with the tip of your soldering iron. It may require a couple reheats to get them out.

    Yeah, they are light enough, the only issue is the molding line down the arms is a little sharp, but it's nothing a nail file couldn't fix.

    Can you check and advise if the ribbon wire that you just remove can withstand multiple or hundred thousand close and open test as we all know closing and opening the arm will break the ribbon wire overtime.

    I wonder how hard it would be to design a Flex PCB with contacts that can be put in a thinly 3d printed clasp to wire up an external power source. I have the Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarers and my only complaint is the battery life, I mainly use it for music because ear buds never fit well in my ears. The charging point on these is right above the nose and there is a 2-4mm gap between the charge point and the bridge of my nose. From the text printed in the charging case the output of the case is 5v 1a which would be easy to do with a usb battery bank. My Problem is i am no good at 3d design and I would not know the first thing about designing a printable thin clasp that could go around the bridge of the glasses, hold the flex pcb with enough pressure to keep contact, and route a cable out the top and to the side that could be held with mini clasps following the top of the frames to the ear stems so the wire could be routed behind the wearer and either under or over the shirt to a pocket worn battery bank or other solution

    She said in the video she had to break the glassed to get to the camera module. So physically it seems almost impossible and you might be better of putting a phone in your cap. Interesting question if you can just switch out cameras who have the same connectors. Might be possible to try that on old smartphones of the same brand who might use the same connectors.

    Definition. A "buck" or "step-down" switch-mode voltage regulator is one in which the output voltage is lower than its input voltage. A buck regulator is a step-down regulator, as opposed to boost. so ,a somewhat proper statement would be bucking off the horse - if that is what you were reffering
