SAN FRANCISCO: (Web Desk) With a view to replacing mobile phones in the future, Facebook and world-renowned eye-wear brand Ray-Ban have launched their new smart glasses.
Being futuristic and a substitute for cell phones, the “Ray-Ban Stories” shades will work upon the wearer’s voice command. The glasses can be connected wirelessly to the Facebook platform through an app.
Notably, the Ray-Ban Stories glasses will not have augmented reality features — that can mesh online computing with visual cues such as mapping or face recognition.
Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has said previously that the glasses are a step toward efforts to create futuristic eyewear that adds to real-world views.

Facebook said in July that it was combining specialists from across its hardware, gaming, and virtual reality units to build an immersive digital world known as the “metaverse.”
Key Features
Cameras are built in the front of the frames, while the arms are designed to act as directional speakers for listening to calls or streamed audio.
A white LED will start blinking when the cameras are being used to tell people around that they can be filmed.
Users can take pictures or a video clip of up to 30 seconds by pressing a button at the temple or using a voice command.
The glasses have a physical switch for turning them off.
Users will be able to log into the glasses’ facebook view app using their accounts at the social network.
Ray-Ban Stories frames sync wirelessly to a smartphone app designed specifically for handling images or video captured by the glasses.
