Meta company, which is the CEO of Mark Zuckerberg, formerly Facebook, introduced its advanced new generation smart glasses in the past months. Ray-Ban Stories, developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, the parent company of Ray-Ban, was designed to pair with the Facebook app. According to this match plan, a new software update has arrived.
Messenger support is coming to Ray-Ban Stories
Mark Zuckerberg posted a message on Facebook yesterday. Ray-Ban Stories has announced a software update to its smart glasses that allows direct sending and receiving of Facebook Messenger messages. Meta’s CEO stressed that the update is just the first step towards great unity.
Mark Zuckerberg made the following statements in his message.
Features such as sending messages, hearing message readings and making calls are coming for Ray-Ban Stories. We’re also introducing more features you can do using your voice, like controlling volume or pausing and resuming audio. Moreover, you can do all this through Messenger. We’re just getting started, with more updates coming for Ray-Ban Stories in 2022.
With the planned update, glasses will undoubtedly become more useful. When the product was first released, it did not go further than the use of cameras that were only found in glasses. Now, glasses are going from being used only to take videos and photos to the ability to send and receive messages by voice.
Ray-Ban Stories has been met with interest since the first day it was released, but it also brought controversy. So much so that for many people, features such as 5 Megapixel dual cameras, built-in microphone and headphones integrated into smart glasses cause privacy violations. In fact, there is a feature that the company put into the design by considering privacy during the production phase. While taking a video or photo, the red light LED on the glasses flashes to indicate that the recording has started. But according to many opinions, this is not enough.
Do you think Ray-Ban Stories is a must-have for wearable technology or does it really violate privacy? Please share your thoughts with us.
