Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Review
I bought the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses to see if it will be valuable for different activities. Here is my impression so far:
Tennis
While the first-person vantage point was somewhat interesting, it was not actionable and not useful at all for playing tennis. The battery life of the glasses barely held up after a short period.

Meta AI Integration
Having AI always on, I have not found a great use for it yet, but I can see the appeal. The ability to hear outside and talk to someone while listening to a podcast is definitely a better experience with these glasses.
