Looks Like Meta’s First Smart Glasses With a Screen Will Be Ray-Bans After All

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is set to release its first smart glasses with a screen, and it appears they will be under the Ray-Ban brand. This comes as a surprise, as earlier reports suggested Meta was developing its own line of smart glasses. The new Ray-Ban smart glasses, dubbed "Ray-Ban Stories," will feature a small display, cameras, and speakers, allowing users to take photos, record videos, and make calls. The collaboration between Meta and Ray-Ban is part of the company's broader efforts to develop augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies. While details on the exact features and capabilities of the Ray-Ban smart glasses are still limited, the move to use the well-established Ray-Ban brand suggests Meta's focus on creating a more consumer-friendly product. The partnership also highlights the company's strategy to leverage existing brands and partnerships to drive the adoption of its emerging technologies.
