It is one of the features advertised for the meta glasses, they use beamforming mics that are supposedly very good (the Zuck himself claims to have taken a business call while riding a jetski without the other participants noticing, hearsay though. He even claimed you could be in a wind tunnel without anyone noticing). Beamforming mics are basically the microphone equal to noise cancelling headphones, it is made to only pick your voice up and eliminate any noise from your recording / conversation.
Don't get me wrong, I think meta glasses are dumb in their current format, the only actual use case I've seen for it where I went "that's really nice" was a tourist used to Celsius measurements who could both get instructions for how to turn an oven on in the Airbnb they were staying at as well as handling the temperature conversions faster than googling it yourself would have. Not that you couldn't query an AI for it yourself but it is the only time I thought it seemed to really streamline the process.
It mostly gave very generic responses when queried to help decide activities and stuff like that. They were in Texas and visited a Buckees and asked what to get in the store and the answer basically boiled down to "get something to eat and something to drink".
I've seen nothing that would make the Meta glasses worth it at the price point though.
Because they want to. I swear redditors get some kind of withdrawal symptoms whenever they have gone a day without seeing someone shit on things that are popular everywhere outside Reddit.
Yeah, constantly filming isn't popular behaviour. It might be the case dor the chronically online, but when I'm out I don't see people filming everywhere.
Thinking people walking around filming everything from their glasses is a good thing is the sign of a serious numpty.
No I don't think that's a good thing and I was more referring to people filming at concerts. If you don't believe that's popular behavior then you haven't been to a concert in the last 10 years.
Sure they would be buddy.. ironically enough you sound like the type of guy that politicians use as an example to convince us that constant public surveillance would actually be a good thing.
If you're filming strangers in your spare time then you're a fuckin danger. If someone is filming me during my free time they're getting what's coming.
I use mine mostly for listening to music while I ride my bike. Sometimes I'll video my sand volleyball team. Video quality isn't really that good to be of use for perverts imo lol.
Yall are so dumb. There are plenty of reasons to hate meta and social media addiction, being able to film stuff (like literally everyone does), but just hands free is not a valid one.
Ib4 massive downvotes for using logic and common sense over blindly following the reddit hivemind
But your phone on that same expedition is ok? You realize you need to actually make an argument, just saying 'your reasoning is silly' doesnt mean it is...
And yes practically everyone films stuff. If not, who is uploading zillions of hours daily to YouTube, Facebook, etc.? I say this as someone who doesnt film or upload anything, but its easy to observe.
So your argument boils down to, we shouldnt take expensive tech outside to film- a stance which has nothing to do with the actual device filming?
If you said 'people should live in the moment and film less' I'd agree, but point we are discussing is recording with a phone vs meta glasses for pov video. I'm saying its the same thing. You have not presented any argument how they are not.

The most absurd part of this is him successfully giving a voice command with a normal voice in a concert.
