Jakob RosinMeta AI is not supported in Estonia. THis means that I don’t get image descriptions from my glasses. So I created my own Ai, by setting up an openclaw agent on an old mac. The action button on the Meta Oakleys can be configured to send messages to a specific account on whatsapp, which I set to my openclaw AI. When I take a picture, and press the action button immediately, the image is sent to the AI, which is configured to reply with a description with a voice message (because the glasses refuse to read long messages). Yes, its way slower, with turnaround about 30 40 seconds, but on the bonus side, I get to tweak the description style and have it run face recognition on my custom faces database, so it knows when family is around for example.
victor tsaran@jakobrosin What Oakley glasses do you have? I have HSTN and I am not able to find a way to configure the action button.
Andrew Hodgson@vick21 @jakobrosin Yeah same over here with my HSTN first gen glasses. I think this is a thing on the newer generation units.
@jakobrosin @andrew I'm sure we will see this one day being introduced as a new amazing feature on HSTN as well?
@vick21 @andrew I'm hoping for the new and amazing feature of having the Meta AI available over here. I am sure one day it will be introduced as a revolutionary feature, or more likely as a feature of extended regions on a completely new device I would need to buy. Knowing those companies, I wouldn't be surprised at all.
@jakobrosin @andrew I just saw some news of Glide being canceled for Europe, probably because of some of the similar concerns.
@vick21 @jakobrosin @andrew Sort of no, but some companies still essentially treat the UK the same. Particularly seems to be true around tech, hence I'm worried.

Pratik Patel@ppatel @KaraLG84 @vick21 @jakobrosin @andrew Great, thanks for confirming. Big bummer for the EU folks though.
@Scott Yep. I had preordered the product, was very happy to support them further, but now they have thrown us over the cliff, I am not shure any more. I get the regulatory approach but my personal tolerance of being the back-ally of accessibility technology is diminishing quickly. @ppatel @KaraLG84 @vick21 @andrew
@jakobrosin I don't disagree. I'd be bloody pissed if it were me. In their eagerness, they forgot to plan for the long-term. They should never have promised a full role-out like they did. Managing expectations is one of the first things that companies should be considering. I get the enthusiasm to deliver something cool. It should never be at the expense of people. @Scott @KaraLG84 @vick21 @andrew
@jakobrosin Have EU regs changed significantly since the preorder was live? If not, seems like a deeper understanding of opperating in that territory would've been good to have in place before opening the preorder. @ppatel @KaraLG84 @vick21 @andrew
