I don't really understand the use case for this. It's got no head-tracking, so no AR stuff. It's got no display, so can't even overlay non-AR stuff in your field of vision, which is the main reason that I'd be willing to stick an electronic device in front of my eyes. It's not a value play, because it costs about as much as AR goggles.

It gives you okay audio, a microphone, and not-so-impressive-compared-to-phone-cameras binocular video.

Maybe if it constantly recorded video and you could just smack a button to save the last N minutes or something, I could sort of see that, if you assume that people don't want to miss recording something critical, which they might with a smartphone -- with this, if you saw it, you could save it. But they don't permit for that, probably because the battery is too limited.

Chris Cox, Meta’s chief product officer, said at a Morgan Stanley conference this week that Ray-Bans are “still in the zone of just getting to like, making sure this is available everywhere and everybody who wants it can get it … you’re starting to see a lot of love for the product.”

Is there really "a lot of love" for this product? Meta Ray-Bans are non-existent where I live. I know they've sold several million units, but that's not that much on a global scale.
