I toured Meta’s new store where you can try virtual reality and wearable tech. It didn’t live up to the hype.
- I visited Meta's first retail store that sells virtual reality and augmented reality devices.
- Inside, the store was bright and welcoming and had loads of wearable tech products.
- But overall, I was underwhelmed and felt the store didn't live up to the online hype.
An "experience expert," which is the title given to the Meta store's on-floor employees, handed me an oblong tray that contained the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses. ...
Of all the products available, these smart glasses were the main item I'd consider purchasing. They allow you to take pictures and video without opening your smartphone, and can also play music and take calls via a set of built-in microphones and open-ear speakers. ...
Overall, Meta's first retail location felt more like a glorified Best Buy display counter than anything else, and I don't feel the need for another visit anytime soon.
