ASKED BY · Rajan Shandell · LOS ANGELES · 16 OCT 2026 · ▶ 00:45:25

THE PANEL'S ANSWER

Identifies first-person point-of-view capture as a valuable use case, citing construction tutorials where hands-on skill demonstration benefits from authentic camera perspective; notes talent must actively manage head movement to avoid disorienting footage.

Chris SabatoPANELIST

Highlights audience preference for uncut, authentic point-of-view footage in skill demonstration videos; notes strong viewer satisfaction with raw process footage over highly polished content, especially when performed by skilled practitioners.

Mentions potential for augmented reality teleprompter integration and notes existing single-eye display solutions that create awkward appearance; Meta Ray-Bans are visually less intrusive.

45:01this cardigan and put me in a three-piece suit next question all right this one's from Rajan Shandell in Los Angeles any use cases for meta glasses in hands-free demos would we ever see this on the panel or after hours so this is interesting I don't know what the I don't know know what the ability to get live video out of it is but i do think if that that point of view

45:29is really interesting if you look at um if you look at there's a guy on youtube that's a builder uh his name's kyle stump and horse he's from rr buildings he does these great construction videos where he like he builds like he's he's framing a building he's putting siding on he's like flashing out stuff doing really intricate details and he's got a gopro strap to his head uh which

45:52which I commend him for, but the point of view is really, really interesting because you're seeing, like, as if you're seeing his direct point of view as he's doing a thing, and for something that is, something that needs to be done with your hands, there's, I don't think there's a better way to show someone than, okay, this is what I'm seeing, this is how I'm reacting, look it over, the trick

46:13is getting a person who is operating the camera, aka doing their normal thing with a camera, is strapped to their head to remember that a camera is strapped to their head and to like you know turn with basically look with your eyes and not with your head because if you if you're doing this all of a sudden you're you're you're gonna blend you're gonna put the person's field

46:36of view in a blender courtney yeah you could another thing is you know you could use it i don't know how you'd get it in there but somebody's bound us someday soon uh go code a uh ai app that's a teleprompter app that puts your teleprompter in your glasses. So there's a guy now that does a lot of YouTube videos that has one of those displays that goes over one eye

46:59and his teleprompter is in that, and he looks like, you know, the Terminator trying to do, because he's reading his teleprompter off his glasses and he looks stupid doing it. So, you know, bear that in mind. At least the new meta Ray-Bans, you know, don't, they look like, you know, So who's that? Elvis Costello glasses? Yeah, something like that. You know, they look like Ray-Bans but with clear glasses on them.

47:27And they do have cameras built into them. So don't wear them outside or to a bar because you will be punched in the face really quickly. He's resorted to violence. Chris? Yeah, Rajan, if you can get a live feed out of the camera, as CJ mentioned, mentioned, it is a useful point of view, you know, I mean, if it looks good. And Kyle, and this guy,

47:53Kyle, R&R Construction, he does a lot of GoPro stuff. There's another channel I watch, which is the Perkins Builder Brothers. And he made a comment in his show just the other day, their show the the other day that he gets a lot of comments from viewers. They like just the point of view. Don't try and cut it up. Don't make it highly polished. They want to see the whole process.

48:21And it's interesting. These guys are just building custom homes in Western North Carolina. And there's a lot of people like me that are just fixated on watching people do this. And I think that you know from a point of view standpoint like you would get with this meta glasses Raj is there is a satisfaction level that is hard to quantify it's just very satisfying to watch somebody who's very good at what

48:52they do do what they do and so yeah point of view is a very powerful tool I I also think that in a time where people are so – have such a – I don't want to say a violent reaction, but a strong reaction to AI slop and generated video that is not done thoughtfully, something with authenticity is going to resonate. And that's where what is more authentic than, hey, this is uncut.
