Replayed this today for my sighted wife to give her an idea of my consideration in the purchase of these glasses. One question to Roger. When in AI mode did you edit the time between your question and the answer? If not, I am very impressed on how robust and quick the response was.

One additional question on that demo, any idea why after turning the glasses on it takes 28 seconds for the glasses to boot up and connect?

No, that is the expected latency, if you have a decent Internet connection. You should get very little latency, if you do not have a good hotspot, or if your data is not good in the area, of course, you will have unpredictable results, which I cannot even speak to, as there’s too many variables. I had a strong four out of four 5G ultra white band signal, so what you hear, is what there is to hear.
To your next question, it is a computer, it is running on android, of course it is going to be a boot up time. Files have to load, things have to sync in on the backend, and server side, so that is not unexpected.

Roger,

 

Thanks for the clarification, that is great. I should have no problem as I have hi speed WIFI and we have 5G T Mobile in our area with full bars on my phone.

Hi Alan,

Many smart glasses users do not shut the device down between. Wearings.

We/they  quite often just take the glassesoff , fold the arms and leave them on the   desk or in the case.

The glasses are sort of in sleep mode and when they are in the case, they are charging.

 

So, the next time , you pick  the glasses up or remove them from the case, they are ready to roll.

I would say the echovision glasses are a bit faster then the meta glasses in this respect.

 

Cheers,

Hi Alan,

 

I think despite Roger’s experience, there can still be other factors which can make a difference with respect to latency. 5G is not always equal. Roger says he has access to a 5G ultra white band network with excellent signal strength and those are not available everywhere.

Also, you said you have “hi speed WIFI” by which I assume you mean you have a high speed internet connection.

Wi-Fi in fact is only the connection of any wireless device such as your iPhone or Android phone or laptop to your modem or router. By now Wi-Fi 7 is becoming the standard although not all routers and modems support thism, in fact, if you have a modem from y our ISP or you bought one a few years ago, it’s almost certainly not a Wi-Fi 7 capable modem/router, it may not even be Wi-Fi 6 or 6E. The point I am making is that Wi-Fi speed and throughput alone does not necessarily decide the speed and quality of your internet connection, if you have a relatively old modem/router and a super fast 2 Gb fiber internet connection, you may be wasting your money and equally if you bought one of the best Wi-fi 7 routers for many hundreds of Dollars and you have only a 10 or 15 Gbps ADSL connection you are also putting a bottleneck into your system. Sort of like hooking a garden hose up to a fire truck, only what the garden hose can deliver will come out and equally, if you hook a fire hose up to a regular household faucet, it will not deliver the volume and pressure it can deliver if it is hooked up to a high capacity water pump on a fire truck.

Wi-Fi 7 was only released in 2023 and a premium Wi-Fi 7 router or mesh system still comes at a premium, but then of course unless you have a super high capacity fiber internet connection and 4 kids who are all wanting to stream videos, play online games and so on, along with 25 smart home devices, you won’t need said Wi-Fi 7 router.

 

I also have a pretty good and stable 5G connection yet I find that the latency with Live AI when I use my iPhone’s hotspot is often more than just a few seconds and it can easily be 10 or 15 seconds.

Sieghard ,

 

Thanks for the thorough explanation. I did mean to say high speed internet, not WIFI.

When I am out and about and connected to my phone via hot spot, I certainly hope I don’t see 10-15 second latency when using live AI, this would certainly sour me on the usefulness of the glasses. I wonder how others on the list are  doing with this?

Hi.


It's pretty easy to have poor signal where I'm at basically Wv's mountains really cause lots of problems. They either do respond slowly or make that progress beep sound for ages and I give up and hold in the right button to stop it trying. Usually on the road it's good enough to use, and in towns. As far as I can figure, they're not worse about being able to utilize the connection than the phone itself is.

Alan, I can tell you that from being on Wi-Fi just this afternoon, because I did receive my glasses, and I've had quite a bit of time to play around with them. In life AI mode, it does have a little bit of a delay. Just even on the Wi-Fi. Whenever I go out on Friday, I will test them with the hotspot and see how well that works. Of course I'm gonna keep my hotspot nearby. So hopefully that will work a little bit better.
