THE BEST OF BRANDS

Meta Platforms, Inc. and Ray-Ban releases the next generation of smart glasses, Ray-Ban Stories. The highly anticipated collaboration brings forward a new way to seamlessly capture, share and listen through your most authentic moments.

Meta and EssilorLuxottica, Ray-Ban’s parent company, worked together to integrate smart technology including dual cameras to capture photos and videos; open-ear speakers for audio, and three built-in microphones to deliver rich voice and sound quality for calls and videos - all without compromising style, comfort, and aesthetic. The Ray-Ban Stories portfolio features 28 style, color and lens variations, with the newest options shipping in the coming weeks. Ray-Ban Stories are available in Wayfarer, the most recognizable frame and an icon since the 1950’s, along with the retro Round and the legendary Meteor styles, giving people the option to choose the glasses that are right for them. Lens choices include prescription, clear, G15, a new variety of polarized, gradient, and Transitions® Light Intelligent Lenses™ that seamlessly adapt to any light conditions.

In addition to an iconic design built with innovative technology, Ray-Ban Stories launches in conjunction with a companion app, Facebook View (iOS and Android), creating an easy way to import, edit, and share content captured on the smart glasses with the ability to upload on any social app stored on your phone.

Ray-Ban Stories requires a mobile phone with Android (location services enabled) or iOS operating systems, and wireless internet access as well as a Facebook account and the Facebook View app (free download). Ray-Ban Stories and the Facebook View app are currently available and supported in the following countries: US, Canada, Italy, UK, Ireland, Australia, Spain, France, Belgium and Austria. Voice assistant is available in English, French and Italian.
