I needed a dashcam while out running. Meta glasses turned out to be the answer

I already love to use all of Meta’s AI glasses when I leave the house, and now I’ve got a new reason to love the camera that comes on (almost) every pair.

This summer, I did something I never thought I would do: I started running. “But Nick, why are you running if nothing is chasing you?” my friends joked snarkily. The reality is, yes, I do often run a little faster at times to avoid getting hit by a car, something that’s particularly problematic any time I have to cross a road (even if there’s a crosswalk).

That got me thinking. If cars have dashcams, what could someone do to help document a potential accident? There’s no chance I’m running while holding my phone, and I wouldn’t want it in my pocket either. I also wouldn’t be able to pull it out of one of those armband holsters fast enough to video a potential accident, either. Then I realized the answer was already on my face: my Meta glasses.

I’d already been taking my glasses out on every run to make short video clips to post to my Strava account — with my smartwatch health stats plastered on the video, too — so it made a lot of sense to just take a few more clips along the way. Now I have a personal running dashcam at all times, and it takes less than a second to capture a video whenever I need it.

Maybe surprisingly, yes, using Meta glasses as a dashcam is quite convenient.
