Iris-sync Zoom: Let Glasses Film Exactly Like Our Eyes Post body
Meta Glasses already use tiny RGB cameras to track your iris-like a mouse in VR. One line of code later, make that same iris data drive the zoom. When your pupils expand, zoom out naturally. When they contract, go macro-no taps, no voice, just your instinct. Hook the built-in depth sensor so distance becomes automatic too. Result: videos that aren’t phone-flawed. No awkward arm angles, no scared birds, no moment lost because you pulled a slab out of your pocket. Everything’s at eye-level-exactly where your attention went. If you glance left at a sunset flare, the frame drifts there, stabilizes, sharpens. You’re not recording. You’re replaying your own memory, undistorted. This isn’t future tech-it’s one software update away. Marketing’s known this for years: put motion where eyes twitch, logos stick. Now flip it for joy. Let creators test it open. Boom-glasses kill phone cameras forever. Do it.
Damaged Lens - Terrible Customer Support Experience
To start this off, I do not typically like to complain, but I've never been so disappointed in a company as I am with Meta right now. I'm a 32 year old techie and I've had my share of tech issues over the years with varying levels of support. I have to say though, this has been the worst experience I've had with a product and the support. I wear eyeglasses, as many people do and I had no idea the danger they posed to the Quest 3. I purchased my Quest 3 in February and have used it a handful of times, always taking care to protect and store the device. I was using the Quest 3 yesterday and it was either too loose or too tight and my glasses bumped the inner lens, scratching both my eyeglasses and the Quest 3 lens. After reviewing Reddit and forums online, I see this is a common problem and lens protectors inside the Quest are recommended.... Well that would be fine if Meta warned about this. I've spoken with support and there is no option to fix the lens, short of purchasing an entirely new Quest 3. I just paid $700 for the 512GB less than 3 months ago and the device is basically useless now. This scratch can be seen in all content on the Quest 3. It is absolutely mind-blowing to me that there is no lens replacement option, especially given how apparently fragile these are. New eyeglasses and a new Quest 3 would run $1000. Absolutely ridiculous. I would never want Meta to pay to fix my own glasses, but the fact that there isn't a ~$100 single lens repair option is so anti-consumer for users with glasses. Had I known these facts earlier, I would have just bought prescription lenses for the Quest itself, but I wanted to share the VR experience with my friends and family. Clearly that was a terrible idea as my headset is now a $700 brick and I need to rescind my recommendation to anybody that has used it. If you wear glasses you are better off not purchasing a Quest. Support will not be helpful. I have the emails and transcript to prove it if anybody is interested.Meta Ray Ban smart glasses and iPod nano - Perfect!
Now I'm hoping that we get an Apple Watch with 5G soon and even better - Meta Ray Bans with 5G but until then I've found that the perfect combination for me is the RayBans and my tiny little iPod nano which I haven't used for 6 years. I had no idea that it has bluetooth (airpods weren't out when I got this). I hate the size and weight of my phone but it has tools that I use for photogrammetry and "spatial" videos but for walks and general out-and-about times, this combo is great. The sound out of those glasses is incredible!
