Those Black Mirror episodes aren’t coming in handy! Facebook has partnered with Ray-Ban and introduced a pair of smart glasses, which are incredibly easy to use and we’re wondering if the world really needed this new idea. The photo- and video-capturing Wayfarers, are named Ray-Ban Stories.
The glasses are created in partnership with Ray-Ban maker EssilorLuxottica, and honestly appear quite similar to the Ray-Ban we’re familiar with. The super comfortable and easy to wear idea is pretty intentional on the part of the makers, wanting to provide the most frictionless media capture experience.
So let’s talk about Ray-Ban Stories’ design. It comprises of arms where there are a power button, a capture button, a three-microphone array, two tiny speakers, and a touch panel. On the front of the specs are two 5-megapixel cameras, as well as a barely-there LED indicator light that lets people know the wearer is recording.
With the smart glasses you can listen to music, take calls or capture photos and short videos and share them across Facebook’s View app using the glasses themselves as a temporary Wi-Fi hot spot for faster and smoother sharing. The glasses line start at $299 (BD112 approx).
