Facebook, which launched the smart glasses designed in cooperation with Ray-Ban’s parent company Luxottica this year, was almost a rival to the Go-Pro. The smart glasses, called ‘Ray-Ban Stories’, have 2 cameras with a resolution of 5 MP. In addition, you can listen to music and make phone calls thanks to the speaker on the glasses.
Facebook is now bringing a new Messenger support to Stories smart glasses. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, with the new name, stated in a statement on Wednesday that messages can be sent and received through Stories glasses. Zuckerberg shares that this feature, which will come with the new update, is only the beginning for Stories glasses and that work in this area will continue in the future.
More updates will follow in 2022:
When Stories smart glasses first went on sale, they were limited to taking photos and videos, as well as making phone calls and listening to music. With the new upcoming update, the glasses will now have a messaging feature. According to the statement from Zuckerberg, with Facebook Messenger support, users will be able to listen to messages they receive, send new messages and make voice-calls via Messenger.
In addition, updates are expected in the music experience provided by the glasses. Zuckerberg states that Stories will come with a ‘voice command’ feature to mute the sound coming from its speakers. Currently, the volume can be adjusted from the touch areas on the edges of the glasses frame. However, the ‘voice command’ feature may also be available as an extra.
