Meta is shifting its entire strategy away from VR headsets toward smart AI wearables — and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses are the centrepiece of that bet. I've been wearing the Gen 1 Wayfarer for over a year now. Not a first impressions video. Not a PR unit. Just honest, long-term use.
There's a catch though — I live in Poland, one of the countries where Meta AI simply doesn't work on these glasses. No Hey Meta, no AI Vision, no live translation. Nothing. So this is also a review from the perspective of someone locked out of the headline feature entirely. Here's everything you need to know before buying.
