Smart Glasses Suggestions

I have some spare money that I’m considering investing in something useful for my work, and I’ve been thinking about trying smart glasses.
My main use case would be reading printed text during meetings and possibly getting some light assistance with mobility. I understand that these glasses won’t replace my cane, but I believe having an additional tool could still be helpful.
I don’t have any prior experience with smart glasses, so I would really appreciate guidance. I’m currently deciding between Meta Ray-Ban glasses and Rokid glasses, and I’d like to understand which one would suit my needs better.
In my work, I often sit in meetings where documents are shared, and having some support in reading printed material would be very useful. I also walk frequently, so even simple contextual information about my surroundings could enhance my daily experience.

That is very helpful, many thanks. Wondering if it is an issue if I am not in the US or EU, will I miss on features?

Best thing to do is google it and see if and when what features are, or will be, available in whichever country you're in. πŸ™‚
