Forget Apple Vision Pro — I’ve worn Ray-Ban Meta’s smart glasses for a year to record my memories

Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses worn by Tom's Guide editor John Velasco.

Apple’s poised to have a big showing next year with the release of its mixed reality headset: the Apple Vision Pro. One particular feature that intrigues me is its ability to record spatial video, which you can do as well with the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. These videos are dynamic in the sense that they have depth when you watch them through the Apple Vision Pro, resulting in an experience that puts you back into that moment as if you were there.

It’s all really cool, like the stuff you see in movies, but it’s really not practical — or the most intuitive way of recording memories. Well, not yet. If you’re not recording with an iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max, then you’re relying on the 3D cameras of the Apple Vision Pro to record video. I hope I don’t see a drove of people wearing Apple Vision Pros in public. That would be ridiculous.
