One issue of concern with the launch of Facebook's smart glasses "Ray-Ban Stories"

Facebook in the US and Essilor Luxottica in France have jointly developed and released smart glasses (sunglasses) that can take pictures and videos by voice operation in addition to buttons.

Video content such as photos taken can be uploaded to Facebook and Instagram on the spot via Bluetooth and smartphone apps. However, the video recording time is limited to a maximum of 30 seconds and cannot be changed by the user. Probably, it seems to be a form that takes into consideration the concern about privacy invasion (described later).

It looks like normal sunglasses

It will be released under the brand name "Ray-Ban Stories" by Luxottica, which is famous for sunglasses. Initially, it will be released in Europe and the United States such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and the price is 299 US dollars (about 33,000 yen), but the release date in Japan is undecided.

These sunglasses are also equipped with an ultra-small microphone and speaker, and by connecting to a smartphone with Bluetooth, you can talk to someone on the phone, listen to music, Internet radio, etc.

So to speak, it is a typical specification of smart glasses, but at the time of development, it aimed to not look like that. Design and fashion are our top priorities, making them seemingly indistinguishable from traditional Ray-Ban sunglasses. It is a form packed with high-tech functions such as video shooting and voice operation within that frame.
