While smart wearables, be it on the wrist or otherwise ,have been around for a while now, the latest slate of AI glasses are largely still a new thing for many folks. And now that they have started to look more like something you might actually want to wear on your face, the new Meta Lab @ Best Buy is a great way to actually give these things a try before spending any cash on them.
Meta Lab @ Best Buy is essentially an interactive way to get hands-on with these things, get a feel for what they actually do in practice, and see how they look when you’re wearing them.
As we detailed previously, Best Buy is showcasing a host of the latest and more compelling models in the space, including Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta Vanguard, Oakley Meta HSTN, Meta Ray-Ban Display, and others, at brick and mortar locations across the country.
Ranging in price from $349 up to $799 for the more feature-rich solutions like the Ray-Ban display that also include the Neural Band for gesture control over the tech, while they are not all that much more than a really good pair of traditional glasses, they are far more capable.
That said, they aren’t overly cheap either, and considering how many Best Buy stores are now featuring the interactive Meta Lab @ Best Buy experience, it might be worth popping into your closest location to give them a go before dropping the cash down. It’s relatively easy to understand the sort of tech features each of the models include, but when it comes to actually wearing these things on your face, it might be a good idea to go try some on and see how they look and feel.
