If you know someone who appreciates a good tech gadget, they’ll be a big fan of these smart glasses. CNET’s Scott Stein says the Meta Ray-Bans are practical and, oddly, transformative. He’s gotten so used to them that sometimes he’ll start talking to himself and tapping the glasses to take pictures before realizing he’s wearing his regular ones. “I suddenly miss the extra features like a phantom limb,” he says.
He also loves that AI is a "whimsical bonus" with the Meta Ray-Bans. “These are glasses first and cameras/headphones second -- and pretty good ones at that.” For instance, the glasses can take photos and then analyze them with generative AI and respond back in audio. All in all, they’ll make an amazing gift.
