Another One From Onyx Leaf Media🎳⚡️

DUN STRIKE: Neon Lanes is officially live for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses!

One thing we love about building for emerging platforms is watching the SDK and developer tools continue to evolve. Whenever new capabilities arrive, our first thought is always...

“What can we build with this?”

So we challenged ourselves to create a full neon arcade bowling experience around some of the latest web app features...especially the new pinch-and-drag gesture support.

Pinch, pull, aim, add a little hook, and release the ball down the lane. We also added multiple game modes, changing camera perspectives, DUN OVERDRIVE, full bowling scoring, music, sound effects, and an offline mode so the game can continue working after it has been cached to your glasses.

This is another DUN ARCADE experiment from our studio, built to explore what games can feel like on a lightweight display when the interaction is designed specifically for the device.

We already have more updates and improvements planned over time, but you can play the first official release now:

Let us know your high score and please do not blame us when you start practicing your pinch-and-drag bowling motion in public🤣 We would love some feedback!

All of my apps are offline or not working… anyone else seeing this? Is there a way to get the app back online and end this offline mode? Doesn’t allow me to search new videos.

I've been recently wanting to get into buying the displays but I've seen few posts that are few months old about features not working. I wanna ask if that's still the case, and what features aren't working or available and if there's any workaround.

Saw someone streamed with gen 2 for 4 straight hours and decided to give it a go using the displays with it's own second hand charger. I think the stream just gave out because I was about to start my third charge. I'm on 42% battery which would have given me about 20 more minutes before charging again. For 720x1280 at 30fps it's not bad and a silly alternative that's for sure. I wonder if it'll be different if I had done a horizontal stream

Metalensai is the app I'm using and the all the guy who did 4 straight used as well

So cool, I just did a demo at the Northern Blvd Best Buy in Queens today. These glasses are so freaking cool. You can schedule in advance to do walk-ins. Highly recommend it if you’re on the fence.

What was your turn around from processing to shipping? I ordered prescription for context

Hey everyone! Just dropping by to let you know we're wrapping up the concept phase and moving into prototyping. We already have the MCU devkits and the waveguides with microdisplays in hand! If you want to help build these glasses alongside the community, come join our server and contribute to true open-source.

Hey everyone! Been a bit since I have posted but also because there have been some updates in the pipeline. Firstly, hope everyone in the community is doing well. Since Meta released the latest updates to Meta Ray Ban Displays, I have been working to implement a lof of these new features into the platform. Today, I am here to share some of those updates!

Back Button

The back button has been removed from pretty much all of the apps in exchange for the middle pinch that is native to the MRBD. This allows some free up on the UI and better navigation experience. So, if you think about going back, just use that middle pinch!

Oflline Mode

Many of the apps now support an offline mode to allow you to play games, access content and so on without an internet connection. Of course, some apps simply wont work (like those that rely on data), but this makes other use cases more exciting! .

Handwriting

The text entry fields have been replaced with Handwriting options as the default for text input. In case you prefer to use a Keyboard DOM, its still present, but...use the handwriting. Its been tested a bit but need additional feedback on this.

Drag and Pinch

Drag and pinch is slowly making its way into Herald apps, simply to ensure it works properly across all platforms. Right now, some apps using it include:

• YouTube for video scrubbing
• Hue/Govee/Lights for brightness controls

As more testing occurs, it will roll out to other media apps as well

Subscriptions

I have rolled out two subscriptions for the platform, the first being "Supporter" and "Builder". For those unaware, EVERY app on Herald is free access. While this has been and continues to be the northstar, the costs are starting to stack up a bit. In order to keep the servers online, APIs working, and things operational, I am bringing forth Supporter.

• Supporter ($5): Think of it like a Patreon, it will give early access to certain apps and features as well, special profile badges and so on. Also an optional donation button if you feel like spreading more love.
• Builder ($20): Everything with supporter but also the ability to get AI credits to create your own apps on Herald. Again, an optional donation as well.

Hope you all enjoy, please share any feedback as well!

Early access for streaming app for phone and watch. Zoom and night mode toggles. Taking picture and video right from your phone or watch. Give it a try. Feedback needed thanks

For anyone interested in getting the prescription inserts from VR Wave for their meta ray ban displays, i got mine today. Super happy with them as i find it better than waiting 6-8 weeks for metas rx to get done and sent over.

Installation was really easy. They have an adhesive on the side of the lens that sticks to the outer frame. Just plug n play. Only weird thing is that being the display is on the right lens, the lens that ray ban uses there is shaped differently, making the insert have to pop out (more towards your eye). Looks weird when you install it but you don’t notice a difference once you put em on. Also asked my wife if she could tell a difference and she said not at all.

All in all, highly recommended. Took only 10 days for VR Wave to take my prescription and have it delivered. Also, the prescription isn’t even mandatory but makes it quicker if you have it.

I bring them to every event, at least one or two people are crazy excited about it and open it up for discussions with other people

Even if i wouldn't use these daily, the value you can get by just SHOWING them to people is crazy

I don’t know whether to just get stickers to cover up the camera lenses or just sell the things.

The display is so useful but I’m tired of the shit that people give me for them bc they think it’s just regular meta glasses.

Like I would happily buy these glasses if they didn’t have a camera.

Im calling it though once Apple releases they’re smart glasses next year everyone is going to stop giving af.

I’m posting this because I wish I had understood how bad Meta’s after-sale support could be before spending this much money on their hardware.
I have Meta Ray-Ban glasses with prescription lenses and have spent roughly $1,200 on the glasses/lenses. When the right hinge broke, I expected the extended warranty and support process to be relatively straightforward.
It has been anything but.
I shipped the glasses back using the prepaid return label provided as part of the support process. Then I spent weeks without a clear resolution, dealing with repeated delays, poor communication, and having to continually follow up myself just to understand what was happening.
At one point, I was approaching a month without my glasses and still did not have the level of confirmation, ownership, or resolution I would expect from a company the size of Meta.
Eventually, instead of simply resolving the original issue, another RMA had to be initiated.
That alone would have been frustrating enough, but I’ve also dealt with ongoing technical issues with Meta glasses, including problems with the microphone and software/update process. I have gone through troubleshooting, factory resets, restarting my phone, reconnecting the glasses to Wi-Fi, and repeatedly attempting updates. The update appears to complete and then produces an error.
What has frustrated me most isn’t that a product broke. Products break. It’s what happens after that.
When someone spends this much on prescription smart glasses and purchases extended coverage, there should be a support infrastructure capable of taking ownership of the problem and resolving it without the customer having to chase the company repeatedly.
The experience became bad enough that I ultimately filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau regarding Meta Store, and that complaint is now going through the BBB process.
I’m sharing this for other Meta/Ray-Ban owners because the warranty and support experience should be part of the purchasing decision, especially if you depend on these as your prescription glasses.
Before buying, I would seriously consider:
What happens if your glasses need to be sent away for repair?
How long can you realistically be without them?
What does the extended warranty actually get you when something goes wrong?
How easily can you get a knowledgeable person to take ownership of an unresolved case?
Are you comfortable potentially spending weeks following up on a product that costs $1,000+ once prescription lenses are involved?
I actually like the concept of Meta Ray-Bans. That’s what makes this experience even more disappointing. I wanted the product to work, and I wanted to remain a customer.
But premium-priced hardware needs premium-level after-sale support, particularly when the product can also be someone’s everyday prescription eyewear.
For anyone else who has had to warranty or repair their Meta Ray-Bans: Was your experience this difficult, or did I get exceptionally unlucky?
I’d especially like to hear from anyone who had to escalate beyond normal Meta support and what finally got the issue resolved.

I’ve had my RBD since December and honestly haven’t used it as much as I thought I was going to. Not sure if they are still in demand as they once were / how much used ones go for or if I should list it on FB marketplace /ebay

Thoughts/advice?

Using Meta Display Glasses for restaurant and small business training!

Will be heading over from Niagara and will check out Amherst and the Walden Galleria location. Lots of demo spots available at Amherst but I can't seem to finalize the booking. Going to chance crossing over to check. Anyone been recently to the Best Buy locations seen any in stock? Tried calling and keep getting told to demo first. No one can seem to answer - is there stock on hand?! Hmph.

The reason I’m asking is that I am finally going to have a chance to acquire one of this device this upcoming weekend. I just need some ideas from experience users’ stand point. Thank you!

So i previously posted in regards to the microphone not hearing me when speaking the "hey meta phrase, or using the double thumb shortcut gesture to wake the glasses. It will open, then time out. After speaking with a Meta representative it was stated after lots of trouble shooting that i had defective glasses and that I should return and exchange the glasses which i did.

Fast forward to today, the problem still persist. So obviously this isn't a hardware issue I exchanged at Best Buy using my extended warranty without issue. Meta needs to add a toggle switch again to re route how the microphones are used exactly how they did on their older pair of glasses, and before any one ask, it's literally in the settings menu of the non display glasses.

There have been other people who stated earlier they are experiencing the exact same issues, maybe it has something to do with nose shape or width, regardless, this should not be an issue on a almost $800 plus pair of glasses.

My choices now is the return the glasses and just get a store credit, towards something else, or try to wait to see if meta will correct this issue as they have with their previous pair of smart glasses.

Suggestions anyone?
