Mark Zuckerberg's company has officially announced the launch of its first smart glasses in collaboration with Ray-Ban and named Ray-Ban Stories. These glasses, according to the company, offer us a new way to take photos and short videos, listen to music, answer calls ...
All the Ray-Ban Stories start at 329 euros, are available in 4 variants: Wayfarer, Wayfarer Large, Round and Meteor and five colors each, for a total of 20 possible combinations. At the moment, they are only available in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom.
Ray-Ban Stories have two 5 MP cameras With which we can take photos and videos of up to 30 seconds by pressing on the touch button located on one of the pins or through voice commands using the Facebook assistant.
When cameras are capturing information, an LED lights up to inform people They are in their environment that is taking pictures or videos. They incorporate open-ear, a set of 3 microphones with beamforming technology and a background noise suppression algorithm to offer the best calling experience.
Facebook states that with normal use, the battery of these glasses lasts for 3 days. To recharge them, we must put them in the case to transport them, just like the wireless headphones.
To access all the content that the Ray-Ban Stories capture, Facebook has launched the Facebook View application, an application that allows us to edit photos and videos without much fanfare and later share them through any messaging application or social network. The storage capacity of these glasses is 4 GB.
If you want to see one of the first reviews, you can stop by this Washington Post article, where they affirm that they mix what cool with the creepy, highlighting as the most negative point, both the size, the position and the color of the LED that indicates that they are recording, since after a large number of tests, most of the users did not realize their presence.
