The story
Facebook and EssilorLuxottica have unveiled their Ray-Ban-branded smart glasses.
Ray-Ban Stories, with technology from Facebook’s Reality Labs and frames and branding by EssilorLuxottica, is launching in the US, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy and the UK. Twenty style combinations are available today, from US$299.
As Facebook promised when it struck its partnership with EssilorLuxottica last year, the smart glasses boast no augmented reality (AR)-capable displays.
Instead, they feature dual integrated 5MP cameras for capturing photos and video, LED lights that warn passersby of imminent recording, speakers and a three-microphone audio array.
