Ray-Ban feature suggestions for visually impaired users
I am a visually impaired user who got a pair of Ray-Ban glasses a month ago. The glasses have been very useful in my everyday life, but there are a few things that could improve them and make more visually impaired people purchase the glasses. Barcode recognition: It would be cool if we could use Meta AI to scan barcodes for products where we could ask questions about the product that we are holding. Such as the price, nutritional facts, and cooking instructions. A similar feature exists on an app called SeeingAI, but implementing this feature on the Ray-Bans would help so many blind people by allowing them to gain more information while they do their shopping without having to hold an accessibility device in their hands. This last thing isn’t a feature suggestion but more of an issue that I have with the glasses. I constantly try to use Meta AI to read me documents but it always summarizes what’s on the page instead of reading it to me. I find that I have to change my wording and ask follow up questions to get it to do what I want. This isn’t a Meta specific issue as I have had this problem with other AI’s. For not being designed to aid the visually impaired, the glasses have been very beneficial!Jeffrey_z044 hours agoHonored Guest3likes2CommentsThe Official Films Thread
Well bollocks, we've got a telly thread so I thought I'd create one for films too. I'm currently working my way through Movies With A Twist Collection 3 which I downloaded years ago from TPB. All of those torrents are now dead which is a shame because I didn't get around to downloading Collection 4. I'm downloading all of those separately which is a hassle but will be worth it in the end going by 1-3 so far. Am in the middle of watching Law Abiding Citizen, I think I've seen it before but i was so long ago I've forgotten what happens. The problem with watching these films knowing that there's a twist makes it easy to work out what the twist in question is so probably better if you watch them without that knowledge lol Here's a list of some of my all-time favourite films of all-time in no particular order: Brazil The Life Of Brian The Holy Grail The Meaning Of Life Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Lifeforce (a terrible film but the female lead vampire spends most of it naked lol) All Lethal Weapons All Die Hards Every Dirty Harry Film The Jungle Book (the Disney original) Pi Falling Down (just for the McDonalds scene lmfao) Silent Running Logan's Run All 60s-70s Planet Of The Apes Soylent Green Am going to stop there otherwise this post is going to be HUGE lolAnonymous9 hours ago5likes586CommentsThe Music Thread
Share some of your favorite songs, artists, ideas, creations, etc. Here's mine... I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites. Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once. It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBQ2305fLeA For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them. I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wADSBoNkGMI A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark. I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa2il_zHFm89likes911Comments- 0likes4Comments
Why do you have to make an account in order to look at support threads?
Unless I'm being hit with severe onset dementia I don't recall ever having to do this. If the quest app was giving me sh*t I could just google the problem and browse the forum results that popped up. Now I'm being told to make an account? If it's not the meta platform itself sh*tting it's pants then it's dumb sh*t like this getting in the way of someone for once actually having an enjoyable meta UX. Is the meta platform struggling so badly that they need to pawn off user data to phishing services? Does the meta team lead not get a bonus unless he meets his "f*ck the users" quota? Is the very notion of multi-whatever-dollar corporations not spitting on users antithetical to the corporate playbook? I don't understand. It's like watching your barista slit his wrists in front of you after you order a medium black coffee. Do I understand the intimate inner affairs of meta's management? No, I'm just b*tching. But it's a good reason to b*tch and if you were smart you'd be b*tching too. Sh*t is like finding out they're discontinuing ice cream sandwiches. Yeah I'll just buy something else but you're telling me they can't make ice cream sandwiches anymore? Bullsh*t.0likes3CommentsINSTAGRAM ACCOUNT CONNECTED WITH HACKER META HORIZON ACCOUNT
My email got hacked and until I realized within 24 hrs. time, the hacker changed my email to another email on my instagram account than he connected some sort of Meta Horizon account, once I realized, I changed my email back on instagram account as well password changed and 2F authorization done but I am unable to remove the connected account added by hacker. Whenever i try to remove this meta horizon account from my instagram, they are asking to set new password for this meta account because standalone meta account without password cannot be used in instagram, if i try to create password than the verification goes to hacker meta horizon account which i dont have access. Any solution????Azamtunio2 days agoHonored Guest0likes0Comments- FriendlyWallaby14822 days agoHonored Guest0likes1Comment
Subject: Request for Guidance - Innovation Proposal and Strategic Partnership Request
Dear Meta Community/Support Team, My name is AS33, I am a Strategic Designer and Independent Developer. I am currently researching innovation modules that may be relevant to several Meta teams, including but not limited to Meta Horizon, Generative AI, LLaMA, and Experimental Interface Research. I am seeking guidance on the following: 1. What department, contact, or channel is best for submitting innovation proposals or partnership ideas? 2. Is there a dedicated team within Meta (e.g. Horizon Labs, Research, R&D, Co-Design, etc.) that reviews early-stage concept proposals from external independent authors? 3. Are there any internal innovation or consulting programs (e.g. Co-design Program, Meta Open Research, Meta Quest Creators Hub) that are currently accepting new participants or promising collaborations? I am particularly interested in hybrid models where I can contribute not as a permanent team member, but as an external signal architect, designer, or creative collaborator. My goal is to explore mutually beneficial options that could include: - Strategic consulting on symbolic systems, neuro-alignment, or immersive signal architectures - Early testing collaboration with the Meta Horizon or Generative AI teams If you can forward this to the appropriate team or share the appropriate contact paths or application portals, I would greatly appreciate your help. With respect and gratitude, AS33AS33Universe2 days agoHonored Guest0likes0CommentsMeta Scammed Me on My Return
I returned my meta glasses to Fedex and Meta claims that UPS returned my glasses even though I showed proof that I took them to Fedex. How that's even possible makes no sense. Then they said they I can't receive my refund because they didn't receive the glasses which is completely wrong. I hated those glasses and had no reason to keep them, so now I'm getting scammed with no glasses and no refund.nic.9737592 days agoHonored Guest0likes0Comments
