On the agricultural side of Lessiter Media, we’ve been pondering the value of Meta’s AI Glasses for on-farm and precision specialist use. The glasses have many features, including hands-free calling, texting, wind-optimized open-ear speakers and voice assistance. With built-in cameras, you can also take photos and record 3K videos without needing to stop and set up a camera. With a fidgety or sore-footed horse, that can be especially difficult.
“That would be a good idea for anyone who’s producing content, especially when you’re under the horse,” says American Farriers Journal Technical Editor Steve Kraus. “I’ve made some videos, but when you set up your iPhone on your toolbox, you’re not getting that first-person point of view. You’re getting an observer’s point of view.
“Someone could have the Meta Glasses recording and have another camera from the front or side. It would be interesting to watch the videos side-by-side and see if we learn more by having multiple perspectives,” he continues.
If a farrier wants to collaborate with a veterinarian or another farrier on a difficult case, the glasses’ video calling feature allows the other professional to see exactly what the farrier sees in that moment. This promotes collaboration and real-time insights between vets and farriers, minimizing potential communication issues down the road.
Point-of-view videos can also be a good supplemental educational tool for those who struggle to sit down with a textbook.
“I’ve had a lot of students over the years who were dyslexic or had other reading problems, so reading was definitely not the way to get through to them,” says Hall of Fame farrier Jim Keith. “Visualization helped a lot, and videos would certainly help over written explanations. A point-of-view video is a step in the right direction. With other videos, you see what the photographer wants you to see, not the total picture, which is what a person needs to make informed judgments on feet.”
There are privacy concerns with Meta Glasses. How do you know if someone’s recording you? On the glasses, a Capture LED turns on to notify others when a recording is in progress. The glasses are also aware when the LED is being covered and instructs the user to clear it. Additionally, on March 5, 2026, Clarkson Law Firm filed a class action lawsuit against Meta in the U.S. District Court’s Northern District of California, San Francisco. The lawsuit alleges that Meta misled consumers about the privacy of its glasses.
“The complaint claims that footage captured by Meta AI Glasses may be transmitted to offshore contractors, potentially exposing users’ private moments and sensitive personal information without their knowledge,” Clarkson Law Firm says.
