Meta glasses bring a privacy question to Tech.Explain's gadget week
Eric the engineer also explores faster AI, a hologram cube and making an old CRT television smart.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Will the new Meta VR Glasses be better than Apple Vision Pros?
Hardware comparisons don't stay purely technical for long. Under Tech.Explain's “Will the new Meta VR Glasses be better than Apple Vision Pros?”, viewers are discussing eye tracking and privacy alongside cooling, battery life and foveated rendering, the technique that concentrates image detail where you're looking.
That glasses question was the most watched of Eric the engineer's four uploads this week, reaching about 159,000 views. “Is there an AI 100x faster than ChatGPT?” landed close behind. Both titles pose questions rather than settled verdicts, while “What is a hologram cube?” and a CRT-to-smart-TV experiment round out a week stretching from wearable displays to old television hardware.
The older heartbeat-sensor video remains the channel's biggest source of momentum, with the electrical-engineering question around GPT Astra also continuing to draw views. The new CRT upload is already among its fastest-moving videos.
Tech.Explain added roughly 7,000 subscribers over the week, and its daily viewing is running noticeably above its usual pace. Among nearby gadget channels, Joe Cirillo is also having a busier-than-usual viewing day, while Psivewri and BRO COOLING are quieter. Tech.Explain has the largest weekly views gain in that group, with fresh gadget questions arriving alongside the sensor video's continuing surge.

Vision Pro also does foveated rendering
@limejoos4uSee it on YouTubeWould still have a cooling problem. So processor speed will suffer.
