Apr 9, 2025
The Meta AI technology offered on this pair of smart glasses is intriguing, but the glasses themselves lack the ability to produce good quality photos and video

Although photographers might be excited that this pair of smart glasses can shoot photos and capture video clips, it generally does only a mediocre job capturing them, at best.
What’s more is that you don’t have the ability to change most of the camera settings. That means, when you’re shooting in anything other than bright-light situations, you’ll often get blurry and grainy shots, particularly in low light. (I’ll discuss this more in the performance section below.)
The Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer does have some relatively decent features. For example, it’s able to play audio from your streaming music apps, like Spotify and Amazon Music, among others. You can also answer and interact with your phone calls and messages.
What I found most promising about these smart glasses is how it uses artificial intelligence, or AI, although it still needs a lot of work to be perfected . Once you’re connected to your phone and also have the Meta View app running, the glasses allow you to ask questions via its microphone, and then transfers that question to the phone, at which point it is sent to the Meta View mobile app.
