Sorry, but I do not know of any place which will give you any more information than you will get here.  I suggest you visit the sites people have listed above in this thread.  Chuck  (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

To tell you the truth, I have not heard of the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses until I paid attention to this discussion, though a little late. Do you know of any place where I can find a detailed description of those glasses and how they work and their accessibility?

However you can do many things hands-free. For example if you're walking down the street and there's something in front of you and you're not sure what it is you can simply say hey Metta Be My Eyes, and it will connect to the Be My Eyes volunteer and they can look through the camera on the glasses and tell you exactly what's in front of you. You can also utilize the meta-AI to do the same type of thing, or to read menus, street signs etc. They also have a capture button where you can take photographs or videos of things in front of you. You can also listen to music through the speakers that are in the earpieces, without actually having earbuds in your ears, and can control the music through various gestures on the glasses. I hope this helps   Through various gestures on the glasses. I hope this helps. Chuck  (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

What things I can do with the glasses that I can’t do with my phone? I have not heard of them before.  Regards,  Follow me on X @ibnalbalad On Nov 19, 2024, at 8:31 PM, Chuck Dean <cadean...@gmail.com> wrote:  Hello, Be sure that everything is up-to-date, including the Meta View app, your glasses, and the Be My Eyes app. Once everything is up to date, go into the Meta View app, into settings, accessibility, and follow the instructions there. I'm not sure at what step it was necessary to reboot my phone, but that seem to do the trick for me! Good luck!  Chuck  (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

I had to restart my iPhone to finish the process but it is working fine now. My first test was to look around my front yard. I simply said. Hey meta, be my eyes and I was connected to a be my eyes volunteer after about a 30 second wait. She described everything perfectly, once I removed my hat, which was partially blocking the camera's view. My next test was to see if the volunteer could tell me when a traffic light changed to the walk sign. This time I did not get a connection so I relied on my OKO app, which works well at this particular intersection. The next call I made was to find a cell phone repair store in a strip mall. She red the store names until we found the store and she guided me to the front door. Unfortunately, the store wasn't opened, so I'll have to get a new screen protector another time. As I walked home, I tried for the walk sign again. This time the call went through in a few seconds, and the volunteer could easily see the light and told me when it turned to walk. (I also used the OKO app as a back up ). I haven't used the Be My Eyes app in the past, but I can see that this hands free approach will be a game changer! I am looking forward to using it to navigate airports and traveling independently. PS,  I used a 3 finger double tap to turn off voice over speech while using Be My Eyes to cut down the audio input. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
