Facebook seems to be unstoppable, now they have Smart Glasses, the new Ray-Ban Stories from Facebook. These glasses were created in association with the giant Essilor Luxottica glasses company and it could be said that they are the most basic and simple device that Facebook has released so far.
What is the most basic device Facebook has released to date? Simple, they can only take videos and photos, but also listen to music and receive phone calls. That is it.
Something that is necessary to emphasize about the Ray-Ban Stories that cost $299 and that is that you can use them without attracting attention. In this case, people are going to notice embedded cameras more easily than their own dimensions.
On the other hand, the way to use them is by touching the frame of the glasses, in this way you can control and do things like play music, answer calls or take photos. An example of this is that if you long press, it will cause you to take a photo, but if you press the button on the right arm, a 30-second video will be recorded.
However, the glasses not only respond to touch, you can also use voice command. Just by saying out loud * Hey Facebook, record a video” the lenses will be recording a video, similar case happens with photos.
Quality of videos and photos
The quality of the photos and videos that Ray-Ban Stories glasses can take is average, which is not surprising and they are even forgiven, since the device is small. It has twin 5 MP cameras and the photos they can take are 2592 x 1944 pixels. In the case of videos, they are taken in square format and are 1184 x 1184 pixels. If we can compare the quality of the images and videos of the cameras, it would be with those of the Smartphone of a decade ago.
Another element that it has is that the configuration of the twin camera can be used to add 3D to all your photos; however, the filters are very scarce, so now this tool is not very attractive. Most likely, afterwards, they will invest a little more money in the software; we hope that this will be the case because the quality is not optimal.
The Audio of the Ray-Ban Stories glasses and the battery
The audio is undoubtedly the best feature of these glasses. The near-ear speakers are excellent for their quality, especially when you are in quiet spaces without a lot of noise around; however, the quality decreases when being in spaces with a lot of noise. Audio is more suitable for actions such as telephone calls for example.
The battery and its duration are quite good, and it comes with the advantage of a low battery to charge it, which also serves to store tthem.
