Camera-Equipped Smart Glasses

'Ray-Ban Stories' Allows You to Capture the World Using Your Glasses

— August 12, 2022 — Fashion
'Ray-Ban Stories' is Ray-Ban’s newest project that aims to transform the sunglasses and eyeglasses market by allowing users to experience the world around them through their frames. Consumers are now able to experience the ‘Ray-Ban Stories,’ an innovation by Ray-Ban and Meta, that allows users to access advanced photo and video capabilities using just their glasses.

The smart glasses utilize dual 5MP cameras that allow you to capture photos and videos at a moment's notice, all while resembling a standard pair of Ray-Ban glasses. For added customization, consumers can add Polarized, Transition, or prescription lenses to their frames. When recording a video, a small LED light will appear above the camera in addition to a shutter sound.

The ‘Ray-Ban Stories’ are now available online at Ray-Ban’s website and retail locations. Consumers can also virtually try on a pair of the glasses on the brand’s Instagram page to find their perfect match.
