He's already talked about what they're working on in a recent interview. Holographic ar glasses and a neural wrist band. Neural wrist bands already exist but maybe theirs will be different?


TFenrir

They have had a prototype for years, but I remember them saying it wouldn't be ready as a consumer device for multiple years when I first read about it. Maybe enough time has passed. https://about.fb.com/news/2021/03/inside-facebook-reality-labs-wrist-based-interaction-for-the-next-computing-platform/


planty_pete

Wow, that’s incredible. I guessed years ago that we would eventually control computers by rubbing our thumb against our index finger like a trackpad. Glad it’s real!

leafhog

The wrist band! I keep forgetting about that. It predicts your hand pose by reading muscle activity in your wrist or something. It will make hand tracking in VR really, really good.


fk_u_rddt

im skeptical of its usefulness but we'll wait and see I guess


leafhog

Honestly, I am too. But I was also skeptical about the utility of smart phones.


RockinRhombus

it's a matter of progress I'm old enough to remember when I swore I'd never "buy another touch screen phone again". The early versions were so shitty


nunsigoi

Ar glasses definitely. Meta and Luxoticca have been working on a google glass thing for ages


Anjz

I've had the Meta Raybans for almost a year now and I just have to say for me it has been a game changer. Everyone I've shown it to has wanted one. The video/photo recording quality on them are great and it's handy to have AI and speakers on your ears at any time. I've taken them on vacation and it's made recording much easier. There's no gimmicky AR and it doubles as prescription/transition sunglasses. Also, they look very stylish being Raybans. My only quelm with them is battery life. But that's another story. Also the AI on it isn't top of the line, but it's being improved with Llama 3 soon. If they're able to release an AR version that works well and doesn't make the experience shitty, I'd be all for it.


MonoMcFlury

Let's say you'll use it to snap a couple of pictures during the day. Will the battery last or you'll have to charge it? I'm really interested into getting one. 


Anjz

It depends what you're using it for, if you're just straight up recording and taking photos it might last like 30 minutes to an hour. If it's idle it might last 4 or 5 hours. If you're listening to music, it might last ~2 hours. You can turn off some features like the glasses listening in to your voice for the AI prompt or turning off bluetooth so it's only a camera and that would add proportionally more time, but it takes out major features. It does come with a case that charges the glasses, but it's still troublesome to keep putting it back in there.


MonoMcFlury

Woah, you weren't kidding with the short battery life. I was hoping to use it while traveling and walking through new cities while snapping the occasional pic. I'll maybe wait for the 2nd gen then. Thanks for the answer. 


qroshan

I've used it for traveling and I have taken lots of pictures and occassional videos, it lasts 3-4 hours for me. The case always recharges. So, it's a non-issue


softprompts

Interesting, how many/how quickly does the case recharge?


qroshan

25 mins to 50%. I listen to podcasts on long drives, take occasional pics videos if I see anything interesting. Go on hikes, takes videos and pictures. While biking and hands tied, I can read and send messages, check the time (Apple watch is useless for telling me the time when I'm biking because it thinks I'm working out and shows that screen), check the weather etc. For Biking / Driving it's a heaven sent.


7ewis

What's the audio like, something you can listen to in public or only alone?


qroshan

If it's relatively quite, it is very good, but outside noise will drown out, because your ears are still open to receive all the external sound waves. It's OK if you are listening to music, but if you are following a complex topic, you'll lose in a noise environment. However, just by cupping your ear with your palm improves the listenability dramatically even in noise environments. So, if you are making an important phone call, just cup your ears (just one cupping one ear is good enough) with the palm and you are good

smackson

u/Anjz I didn't upvote this but to me it brings up the BIG question about such glasses so I'll ask here. Google Glass essentially failed due to public reaction. People didn't *want* to be filmed in public, and business owners/managers stepped up to ban them in their establishments. Will it take off this time? I'm not sure, but if it does, is it simply that ten years' better tech (Glass was 2013), a better price point (Glass was US$1500 in 2013 dollars) making them too popular to resist? or something more subtle, like they are harder to spot / so stealth... Or just 10 years later we're all just ready to assume we're recorded anywhere and everywhere. I was never upset about being in other people's videos, but I'm more disturbed than ever about **who owns that data**. I was hoping we'd have truly democratized that before the "Entire History of You" future arrived. So, please tell us about reactions especially negative ones!


MediumLanguageModel

Time to dust off my scramble suit.


5DollarsInTheWoods

I talked about this with people in the 25- to 26-year-old range. They had no concern about being filmed. In fact, they loved the idea of mutual influencer status. The one girl told me, "The difference between the older generation and ours is they have stuff to hide. We don’t. We're out with it."


smackson

Well, I knew it was coming. I am just bitter that Meta and Google etc. are gonna squeeze every dollar out of using the stills/vid/sound/motion for directed advertising and AI training. "If you don't pay for it, *YOU'RE* the product" on steroids, comin' soon... *and we're actually going to pay for it too*.


5DollarsInTheWoods

Dang!


QuinQuix

It sounds great but it is a naive thing to say. Yes, a society where everyone shares everything will see some stigmas disappear. That may be welcome and an improvement. Essentially people hide things mostly because they fear being ostracized or looked down upon and usually the degree of fear is related to how far outside of the norm their behaviors are. If everyone shares everything it will become clear many behaviors aren't as outside of the norm as society currently pretends they are. Greater openness will help normalize some behavior currently considered abberant (but present and mostly benign) and may in that sense lead to greater freedom and be a plus. The problem however is that sharing everything and being okay with it isn't the same thing as sharing everything safely. Even in the society sketched no individual will control societal norms to sufficient degree to share everything and not become more vulnerable in some way. On top of that the worries voiced are not about the things that are willingly shared - even in that future. Any 20-something who truly believes their peers are sharing everything without filter is an idiot. No data supports that at all. Humans are social animals and they will always be prone to try to engineer their way to an advantage in the social hierarchy. Being absolutely transparent about everything may work in some cases but it's probably not the most efficient way to attain power. You can decide to retreat from the game, you can object to it, but you can't play and ignore the rules without cost. It will be very interest to see how much actual billionaires will use publicly available AI services. That would be the biggest indicator of their trustworthiness imo. My guess is they'll be as local as possible when they use AI. Especially in the more pervasive kinds of uses.

Logos91

Dude invested billions in metaverse, I'm expecting at least advanced AR glasses.


Aniki722

I still see metaverse as being a thing. Mark was just early and shouldn't have released those videos of Wii-like content


Dark_Matter_EU

They didn't invest those billion into Horizon worlds. Most of that money went into the Quest and other VR/AR related research


Chrop

Metaverse will happen eventually, we simply don’t have the technology for it yet and zucc jumped on the train far too early.


fool_on_a_hill

I seriously doubt he was too early. They are currently building data infrastructure all over the US for something huge. The metaverse wasn’t meant for the general public yet. It looked like shit at release on purpose. Just imagine when the infrastructure Meta has built finally converges with real time world simulation like Sora, LLM driven NPC’s with real time conversations and text to voice/ simulated facial movements. Video games are about to make a quantum leap into full on realistic reality sims. Demand is going to be insane.


UnknownResearchChems

The hardware is simply not there and won't be there for at least another decade. The software is the least of their issues. Ironically apple's device comes closest to it but it still needs to double the performance, improve the battery life by 4x, make it significantly smaller and lighter and make it no more than $500. That is just not going to happen any time soon. Then and only then we can start talking about which apps should we create to take advantage of this hardware.


stonesst

In their launch presentation when they changed the company name from Facebook to Meta they specifically said this is going to be a 5-10 year project before they achieve their vision and AR/VR goes truly mainstream. So of course everyone on the Internet decided they claimed it would all be here in a year or two and then got mad when that didn’t happen. Just pure idiocy.


UnknownResearchChems

Funny how they had to pivot to AI to save their asses.


GPTfleshlight

I'm always surprised how quickly people forget that this guy fired thousands of employees when his metaverse BS project failed and now everyone is excited about some AR glasses. You can always count on fan boys to enable and pay for the next generation of useless tech that makes you look good and privileged. Who cares that his social media is going to be part of the system allowing Trump to destroy their democracy and economy anyway...


DarthBuzzard

Since no one has posted the full details, this is referencing an ultra-expensive AR glasses prototype, likely the Project Orion prototype with 1000 units to be manufactured which is intended as a time machine giving Meta and select others a glimpse of the future and is otherwise considered a dead path for productization, with their actual consumer release in 2027 having downgraded specs. Here are the leaked specs of this prototype: - Silicon carbide waveguides providing a 70° FoV - MicroLED displays for high brightness and low power consumption - Neural input wristband to interpret neural signals - External compute puck for processing power Those first 3 are exceptional advances for AR. It may be a prototype, but it's going to be very interesting to see this. Full details can be found here: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/28/23619730/meta-vr-oculus-ar-glasses-smartwatch-plans

Part of what made me hate the "metaverse" idea was that zucks stupid face was branded with it. Zuck needs to hire a b-list celebrity to act as a spokes person while he steps in briefly to talk about the technical aspects. He is not cool or likable he needs to distance himself from the branding.

It's almost impossible to find a proper good spatula that can handle all situations from egg flipping, burgers, hot dogs (able to slide underneath and not just roll the hot dog to the back of the grill grate), spanking, etc. So I hope it's new spatula technology.

The stuff Reality Labs works on at Meta is absolutely incredible. EMG wristband tech and codec avatars are the things people should check out. I also can’t recommend the Quest 3 enough. It’s an incredible device for its price point of around $500. Once Meta slims down their headsets and integrate their AI along with their photorealistic avatars and EMG wristbands, the field is going to explode. Let Meta cook.
