I work hard to share useful info in my videos, but in real life, I avoid giving unsolicited advice—unless someone's action camera is set up wrong. Often, a friend comes back from a trip with six hours of GoPro footage showing nothing but their top tube. I do stop to point this out to people, and many have thanked me. The truth is that action cameras are neither convenient nor fun, and unless you embrace them as a hobby, riding with a GoPro or similar product will degrade your experience, not enhance it.
Enter Ray-Ban Meta smart sunglasses, which look and feel like a normal pair of Ray-Ban’s polarized Wayfarers in every way. Upon seeing Ray-Ban use the phrase "immersive video" in their marketing material, I wondered if the Metas could offer a convenient way for the rest of us to share and relive our experiences on the trail. I ordered a pair.
Considering many riders already use protective eyewear, smart sunglasses with polycarbonate lenses could replace a current piece of gear, offering new advantages.
