I Tried All The AI Glasses (So You Don't Have To) 

The Brilliant team is praying to all gods that MKBHD don't have his hands on their glasses lol

This is pretty incredible to be honest. It feels like we're seeing the first iteration of the next personal computing device. Like how the first "mobile" phone was a suitcase. Or the first laptop was a 11kg backpack. In my opinion the Meta Ray Bans has nailed the form factor, but completely lacks the cisual AR aspect while the Ray Neo glasses is the closest to what I think most people want functionality wise but in a pretty clunky form factor. My intuition is that with how power efficient recent lightweight devices has become (for example the new M4 is so powerful that they had to take significant steps to not make the iPad a direct Macbook competitor), we're going to see the capabilities of the Ray Neo in much better form factors within a year or two. And the world will never look the same.

I love my xreal glasses. I've watched your videos while mowing the lawn. I've also used them to cook, having my recipe in front of my eyes while cooking.

Looking forward to the next video: “I tried all AI wives so you don’t have to”. ChatGPT wife nags more than Claude’s offering.

Hardware kickstarters are always a huge gamble; mass producing electronics very often is way more challenging than most people expect, even if they already got working prototypes that reached all the goals.

Great review as usual! So excited about the future! I wish I could see what you'll talk about this time next year! 😅

Hi, Matt! This is a great review, and thanks so much for posting it. As always we viewers very much appreciate your unbiased views and reports - it helps us keep up with what's out there and available. It seems all the use cases for these AR glasses/headsets are for entertainment and personal use, but what about for more business-oriented applications? For example, how do the various offerings perform if we wanted to sit in our recliner, with a keyboard in our lap and write things in a Word or Google document, or if we wanted to create graphics in Affinity or Canva, or if we wanted to edit a video in DaVinci Resolve or Camtasia? I have always thought it would be great to have that huge virtual screen floating in front of me, so I could do this sort of stuff in greater comfort than a desk chair - or even in the passenger seat of a car while my wife is driving. Maybe you could consider a video soon on how well some of these work in more practical use cases? Thanks for all you do, and take care!

Nice comparison on the latest tech glasses. Thank you!

amazing video man, how incredible is that you go from review a few apps , to just buy the top expensive gadgets available and try the in just one video, congrats on your hard work!

Dope looking forward for the next wave 🌊

This was helpful... appreciate your take on these!

Nice overview Matt. Thanks for all you do for your subs and take care!

I could see AI glasses replacing hearing aids. Most hearing aids suck when you're in a noisy talkative crowd. If you had a pair of glasses with a camera, an AR screen on the lens for displaying text, and an AI model trained to read lips, that could come in really handy.

Me too Matt. In fact my wife and I both love them. I actually turned mine into bifocals with those rubber sticky reading lenses. I've done the same thing for our sunglasses as well.

Fantastic review --- I know I love my Meta Raybans -- completely agree with you on them. Also love my AVP. :) Question - with the RayNeo - are the apps only HUD (heads up display) or do they have the ability to maintain position? ie. do the glasses use SLAM or other techniques to get a mapping of the room, like the AVP, HoloLens, Quest, etc. Thanks!

Subtitle real-time translation is most important feature for me and a killer app.

Very helpful. Thanks a lot!

I love my XReal Air Pro 2. You didn’t mention that they are wearable monitors. I no longer have a room with three monitors. I now have THREE large monitors in my glasses ANYWHERE I go. Freedom. I’m not stuck in my office. These glasses are amazing on a plane for watching movies. On a plane and want to work on your laptop without straining your neck? Confidential info on your computer? Dim your laptop screen and look at everything on the glasses. I’ve found lots of cool things do with them. One day I was watching one of your videos while chopping veggies using the Beam accessory and using sideview mode. I have the special prescription lenses inside them, which have blue blocker. My astigmatism and the light was making my eyes water without them. I don’t want them to be wireless. The glasses are lighter without a battery and one less thing for me to forget to charge. Can you tell I love them? I’m an early adopter. Have you gotten your Rabbit? At least we got it basically for free, assuming we would’ve been paying for Perplexity anyway. sigh… I may get Meta prescription glasses instead of sunglasses. Thanks for your videos.

You forgot to tell us the prices of all the glasses.

Thank goodness you did this! Thank you!🎉 👏 👏😊

Im just mad that not ONE SINGLE COMPANY is choosing to do the scouter design from DBZ for these AI wearables. ITS RIGHT FUCKING THERE COME ON.

Imagine Meta Ray-Ban glasses coming with the waveguide displays like the ones ReyNeo has.

The issue with the Xreal Air 2 glasses is if you need glasses to see, yes the screen is huge but its still blurry. Once they can solve that, I will buy them again. (I returned my pair)

Great Video! I was researching the subject yesterday. Most glasses seems bulky with limited battery.

They are coming along awesomely. There is a real need for these in the deaf community. Was it you that showed sign language translation earlier? Combine this into the large language model too. Realtime voice and visual translation on the go.

Awesome overview! It seems you neglected to mention which of these (the Raybans are the only "glasses" I know of) that would allow you to have lenses that you could see through if you need a prescription (not counting VR headsets, because they aren't practical as glasses). If someone needs prescription glasses some of those with embedded screens wouldn't be practical (unless they offered prescription versions). Also a tip! If you have health insurance, they may cover smart glasses with a prescription like my Raybans). Much cheaper then!

Those should be super handy after someone attacks you for invading privacy. The future is gonna be so much fun!

Great job man!

You always keep it real! Thanks Matt Wolfe. I have the Meta Ray Bans and I love them.

The Brilliant frames remind me of the VR glasses that made an appearance in that weirdly wonderful mini-series, "Wild Palms."

Meta Glasses #1 issue is using Llama 2 vs 3. Hopefully Meta will continue to continuously update it like Meta Quest 3

Seems like you need a magic wand for your harry potter glasses

14:13 The storage capacity on this glasses is huge and the capturing and storing capability must be of high quality. If this glasses can do all these things imagine what the future holds. Ai Glassses has a promising future. 😎💪🏾💯👍🏾 11:04 The RayNeo Ai glasses thickness seem to be appropriate and manageable. The thickness is perfect 👌🏾.

This is actually the first time I've seen a video of the RayNeo with "dimmer" shades packaged. I really thought it didn't have those.

Love a gadget review. Keep em coming.

This video is priceless! Very helpful for technology shopping! 🎉

This was awesome. Now I want to see you head outside and talk to people as you use it.

Almost 2/3 of adults wear prescription glasses. Until these things easily support prescription lenses, the market will remain small.

Which one of these can I get prescription lenses?

I am currently waiting till the middle of June for the xreal air 2 Ultra glasses combined with their brand new beam Pro. the Ultras have two cameras on the front for spatial mapping will be much closer to the Apple Vision Pro when they both hit the market it would be awesome for you to get it hold of them and see what you think.

We need to figure out a mousepad for the roof of your mouth, and click by clicking your teeth

With the Rayban Meta's being 6 months old at this point, do you expect there will be a new better iteration yearly? should i wait for the next one to get the latest tech?. was really hoping for a pair of glasses i could use while drive that had a Heads up display with speed and navigation built into them

It´s good for POV videos. Just imagine the future when all people can film you and you do not know because is not like someone pointing a cellphone at you.

Congrats on kicking it up over 600k subs, Matt! 🎉 Also, great review of what's available right now. I tried the Metas and none of the ones I tried look good on me so had to pass. Can't wait to see what this tech looks like in a few years though!

Interesting video. I should point out that playing video over Bluetooth is pretty hard. That's why you either get a cable and watch video or have Bluetooth but no video.

Agree. Meta Ray-Ban glasses are really great. Bought a pair when they came out and use them daily. Perfect for runners; though haven't been brave enough to use them in the rain.

I love your insight and run-down of the tech. Would you mind sharing the current COST of each one?

epic video! Thank you Matt!

Thanks for this great video!

The ReyNeo X2 Lite will be out this Spring. They look a lot more natural and should have a lot of new features.

I LOVE this content. Thank you.

Maybe the pairing problem has something to do with your other devices, such as when I try pairing headphones that I have used recently with my iPhone, pairing the headphone to my iPad wont work until I turn off bluetooth on my iPhone.

okay those last ones looked kinda rad, but still meta ray bans are the best. Once they throw a lil screen on the lenses, WINNNNING~!

When you put the shaded portion on you looked like a fashion model 😂

3:11 okay those glasses that you were using to actually play a video game and it showed you the actual game that might be very close to something that can replace your big screen TV in the future if not right now. I considered home and watch my Netflix or Hulu or whatever and it would be as if I was looking at 108-in TV screen, well then we're on the road to replacing big screen TVs to a great extent.

I was under the impression that the Brilliant Labs Frame were only sold as hardware for developers without any base OS, so it's basically like a Raspberry Pi of AI and AR, but all the function was up to the user or devs. I'm surprised that shifted so fast on their end to now 'out of the box' AI/AR specs.

Thanks a lot for this Matt. Saved me $350, as I'll be canceling my Frame pre-order. Loving the Meta Ray Bans as well.

thanks for the help with this, gonna hold out and see what happens with the market of AI glasses.

Hey Matt, do you have a pair of Ray-Bans for indoors? I am loving mine too. I have transitions.

Watching Matt demonstrate the XReal air 2… in the garden… on my Xreal air 2 😎

Need a clear safety version of the Ray-Bans. With a clear around eye dust filter please

12:03 The RayNeo ring appears to be a perfect accessory pairable device. Control media volume with it must be so kool. 13:49 The Visuals on RayNeo seems to be of a high quality and it's clear. I imagine Apple would make a identical model of RayNeo but a more improved and higher quality type.

Do these Glasses account for someone who needs corrective Prescription lenses to see in focus? These types of Glasses make going to the bathroom something to rethink.

I was hoping somehow I'd see the Xreal Air 2 Ultras in this video, but I've heard they're not out yet. Not sure. The Xreal Air 2 pros just add a lens darkening feature so you don't need the blackout cover. The Ultras seem to have cameras on them though like you were hoping.

These feel like gadgets which would be useful for a niche group of people, designing engineers for example, apart from that I don't think they will really be of any use for the average person. Also i guess your eyes will strain real fast with screen that close.

I got a pair of the Ray-Bans with transitions lenses and really like them. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a continuous conversation with the LLM on them, instead of having to prompt it each time?

I'd love to have something smaller for VR, and even for AR in reading various text...but having very bad eyes these often don't work for me without an even larger set of lenses. Having a digital adjustment for VR and have digital lenses that adjust to my eyes would be a godsend since I spend the same every couple years to just see normally.

I have the Rayban Met glasses and they are actually great. I love them and use them everyday.

With all due respect: What you did in the "Frame" review was quite horrible imho. RTFM, man! The product could have been interesting but in the first place you failed because of yourself, not because there would be any issue with the product. If it says unpair the device, why not just do it? Could make sense, don't you think? So we'll never know unless somebody else somewhere reads the manual. In any other regard: Thanks for the info, as always. You became one of my heaviest sources in the AI realm. Sorry for only commenting now, when I have a rant going. But it's just how we non-AI-people are LOL

Very good topic idea.

It's a shame the Viture Pro glasses weren't out in time for this video. Probably worth an update for these.

Thanks for sharing this

what i want is some vr glasses that let me do my work, where i can have multiple screens or have each application just kinda float wherever i stick them, and where i can comfortably read text. and most importantly have nothing to do with apple or facebook/meta.

I'd go for the RayNeo with AR. All other choices seem to be for you to be locked down at home. I'm an outside person and a photographer / videographer so RayNeo for navigating outside your home.

Have you heard about the AR VR Visor headset from the company immersed, they’re supposed to come out later this year.

Try out the AIO. The device is similar to Humane but seems a lot more usable.

I’d hate for someone to be wearing this stuff anywhere near me in public .

I thought this would be some sort of sham hidden ad, but you I should have known you would keep it real. Nice video.

Enough charge to pair?

no review of the new viture pro ?

For watching movies, the Oculus vr goggles are awesome- but the trick is to watch lying down- takes most of the weight off your head.

Thanks for the vid

This sounds like bleedibg edge tech, thanks for testing for us! :D

I've been so inspired by Matt that I created my own AI Music page

I will only buy if they provide all 6 modes of vision from Predator 2.

playing Hades with a AR headset is what I need in my life

Try xrai on the xreal glasses, i think you have to have the pro licence to use ai chat but it does do translation on the fly. Not tried just using chatgpt yet but if you have the app you should be able to load it and talk. I use them for navigation on the bike, dark mode then ride.

This makes me so excited for the future. Imagine when glasses with VR180 recording are small enough to look like regular glasses...

What is it with Apple bluetooth in the earbuds that like, no other bluetooth can seem to replicate? I'm assuming that's why the ring is annoying?

Matt is on the Hades II train 👌

Can you do a similar comparison for racing virtual games? Wish to buy for family.

Watching this video through xreal air 2. It satisfies all my needs for smart glasses, can recommend.

Not many of us would talk to AI glasses in public. I'm looking forward to a new mode of input to replace typing.

A couple of upgrades to the meta glasses will get there.

It's almost surprising when a new AI hardware works directly (talking about the kickstarter one)

The RayBans don't seem like much more than mashing AirPods with the old SnapChat glasses that had a camera. Do they do anything else besides adding a camera to AirPods?

The Brilliant Frames look horrible. I'd rather have the Amazon Echo Frames (which I wish you had included in this video!!). Definitely agree the RayBans are the ticket for now.

You forgot about Manha, is a Smart Glasses company in Europe

These will be good for POV AVs. 😉

Ya just don't get a polished user experience from new & smaller companies. The Meta glasses aren't bad, but AI features were a added on late addition. I'm waiting for their next gen version, which should be much better, AI will obviously much better, but I'm also hoping for a screen in the lenses, but very transparent ones, also transition lenses would be great.
