All depends on your view so to speak, I'll always have my iPhone with me anyways and while the smart glasses would be another item, they may potentially replace a wired or Bluetooth headset I may otherwise have with me and of course their usefulness and relatively small size does not make it that inconvenient to have them.

The integration with Be My Eyes and Aira is very recent so yes, they can be used by themselves, e.g. if you have a friend or family member who sometimes helps you, you could simply make a Facetime call to them and the camera on the glasses would be used. Obviously for a blind person Be My Eyes and Aira are important and useful services, but just think of your Smart Glasses as a combination camera/microphone/speaker which is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and while Meta has integrated Be My Eyes and Aira so you can ask the glasses to use these services, once the connection is established, the glasses simply provide the interface, e.g. instead of the phone's camera, microphone and speakers it uses the glasses. -----Original Message----- From: '[email protected]' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2024 10:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: First impressions of the Meta Ray Ban glasses and the Be My Eyes integration.

Hello again, While I do not think the camera will work with the Be My Eyes AI, do not forget, the Meta smart glasses have its own AI. I'm not sure if it works as well as the Be My Eyes AI, but I have tried it on various things and it works quite well!!

It should work exactly the same, all you're doing is changing cameras. When I get a chance I'll try to read some mail, but that won't be until later this evening.

Hello, I installed the Be My Eyes update allowing me to connect the app to my Meta smart glasses. 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.
