Bambi of Opia Films 1 Day in London With Ray-Ban Meta Glasses

1 articles · Updated · Dazed · Jun 19

Summary

  • Bambi of Opia used Ray-Ban Meta glasses to record a full day in London, producing a first-person video instead of a staged day-in-the-life shoot.
  • The test highlighted hands-free features: voice prompts checked the time, changed music while painting, pulled directions during a dog walk, and captured a styling fitting without using a phone.
  • The filmed schedule ran from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., moving through performance art, painting, dog walking and a styling pickup with friends.
  • Opia, an East London collective that emerged from the underground rave scene, has expanded into youth-culture work with Tate Modern, the Dazed 100 and London Fashion Week.
