Lmao Defo possible using a mixture of tavily and the Amazon api!


I started to make an implementation of this for leet code by having a bot transcribe an Instagram live and then could send you tips.

But the latency was about 30 seconds so during an interview it wouldn't be that useful haha


I did recently try to reverse engineer the connection Instagram are doing with the glasses in order to livestream through the glasses.

However, not too familiar with trawling through decompiled APKs (also presume there's some sort of internal secret they're using too)

No worries!


That’s been on my endless todo list since I got the first version of the View glasses from FB/Meta ages back.


Thanks!

Recorded on OBS, uploaded to linkedin, screen recorded on iOS then uploaded to Youtube.

Is that not a standard workflow haha (initially was just to send to 1 mate who didn't have linkedin lol)


Sorry did I miss something in the demo, I must have as it appeared you just took a photo and saved it, a function native to the glasses. Where did the vision come in? I'll watch again. Or was it that you saved it to a feed and not the native app


He's created another Facebook account. When he takes a photo, he tells the glasses to share it with his other account. He has a service that checking for messages sent to that account. When a new message arrives, theres GPT4-v script that analyses the image and logs the results in his food tracker.


Where did the details about his food item come from in the list? That was GPT4 turning his vision into data.


Just via prompt engineering, was something like:

`Using this image, estimate the nutritional information of it and output it as a JSON using this data structure: { "calories":int; "protein":int; etc... } `


Thanks!

I first attempted a more standard approach via a webhook hosted on Heroku linked to an fb page, which theoretically would of worked.

But, Meta has limited you to only sending messages/pictures to "real people".

I believe they have to be on your friends list for a certain amount of time too but haven't properly tested all the edge cases.


Oh is this your project? It's really cool!

Ok, so how long have you had these? I was unaware they had released these but they look pretty fun AND the price point is surprisingly approachable. Are you wearing these out in public pretty regularly? Are people noticing the lenses? My main concern with buying these is that I will end up not wearing them in public eventually, which kind of makes them not super useful. I worry about that because I can see some people seeing those lenses and going off on the whole bit about am I filming them? am I filming their kids? And we all now the rabbit hole of uncomfortable public social iteractions this can take one down. So, I worry I would run into too many of these people downtown or something and end up being anxious about even wearing them out anywhere.

What is your experience and how long have you been wearing them around in public (if you are)?

Also, legit question... how did you succesfully make an alt facebook account? lol Anytime I try with a different name so I can have an alt for buying stuff on marketplace it blocks that new account out because I can't verify it is me (because it's a fake name).


I generally just follow the "It's a drop in replacement for node" and hope the APIs I need are there. Also makes me feel like a 2023 bleeding edge blazingly fast developer which is 90% of the use case right?


They're actually good and have nearly replaced my airpods. I don't need glasses and don't live in SF so I do feel a bit pretentious though.

The potential is definitely there and I'd be very surprised if the Meta Reality Labs team haven't already added heaps of features internally and are just waiting or staggering releases.

Wore them everyday for 2 weeks and I actually only bought them as I thought I could make something like this (through any hacky means).

No one has noticed they're any different, especially outside as I got transition lenses so they just go into normal rayban sunglasses mode. You could have a similar effect if you wore those old "new" 3D glasses out and about.

Even colleagues had to squint.

If I do ever have a bad interaction with strangers I'll just tell them about the lengths meta have gone through to prevent bad actors. (i.e: knowing you're trying to cover up the flash).


What has Meta done to prevent bad actors?


No SDK to hack (yet?), bright flash, loud "shutter" sound and anti flash coverup.


the sound quality isnt as good as airpods though!
